      Great guide, amazing historical site!

      Dylan_H, Jun 2024
      Hasan is an amazing guide with top-notch thoughtfulness and experience! We highly recommend this tour with him. We were in Istanbul just for a short layover, and we had a few hours to visit Hagia Sophia and the Sultanahmet area briefly. Hasan knew that we were short on time and had to leave for the airport on time, so he took the effort to come early and queue for us in advance so that we could enter on time at 9! Hasan is very knowledgeable and happy to share the historical background of many details of the Hagia Sophia. It's definitely worth it signing up for this tour than to visit the site unguided and not understanding what you're seeing!
