Great visit of the Blue Mosque with Gamze (sorry if misspelt!) Very clear explanations, Gamze took the time to answer questions and made sure everyone could hear her. She’s clearly passionate about Istanbul and its beautiful monuments ! Highly recommend, we had a great time and the Blue Mosque is absolutely stunning. No guides allowed in Hague Sophia but our guide still took some time to explain a bit and accompanied us to the security entrance.

The guide, Mohammed, was very good. He was able to make alternative arrangements to see another cistern as the Basilica Cistern was shut on the day of the tour. This could have been made clear at the time of booking (only the previous day.)

Whole experience was well planned despite the fact that Basilica Cistern was closed. Guide offered to take us to another Cistern and it was a good decision. Our guide was amazing! With lots od knowledge and well spoken english.

To be honest, my partner and I felt a little bit underwhelmed by the tour. We did get to skip the line for the Hagia Sophia, but we got a 10 min briefing before we went in and then as soon as we entered our guide showed us to the audioguide area and left us saying "he wasn't allowed to guide us through" which we saw a sign for, however there were probably 50 groups that we saw that were being guided, so that felt weird. As for the Blue Mosque we could barely hear our guide and we only spent about 15 minutes inside, and it was free entry... So it definitely didn't feel worth €112 for two people. We more or less paid that much for just the Hagia Sophia and a 30 minute tour. Overall it was a fun day though and they are definitely sites worth seeing.

Loved the blue mosque, just stunning Hagia Sofia was okay just seemed a bit scruffy and the tour guide spoke for an hour watching the queues build up, I had to leave the group and find a seat. Basilica Costern didn't have enough handrails on the stairs, the room was a bit too dim
