Great experience with a good explanation into the history of Hagia Sophia. Kudos to the guide for dealing with an unfriendly encounter while entering the building.

It is the unfairness in difference for entrence fees between resident people and international visitors. We have paid for Troja, Assos, Pamukkale, Patara, the Caverns and Hagia Sophia. Together more than 600€ more than Turkish residents. We were not visiting Ephesos Galata and Topkapi Palace because of that. As a foreign tourist you feel not welcomed by the authority. Just by the people.

Der Reiseleiter war sehr bemüht. Leider kaum zu verstehen. Andere Gruppen hatten Kopfhörer und der Guide ein Mikrofon. Das wäre sehr hilfreich gewesen.

In an hour, explore every nook and corner of Hagia Sophia and fall in love with it the way a historian does, knowing why they revere it so much.

Take your time

With all the tidbits of knowledge you gathered from your guide, go back and see it all again and gain new perspectives. Oh, and you're not alone. To refresh your memory and gather more details, tune in to the audio guide. Watch out for thrilling tales of hidden art that resurfaced when Hagia Sophia became the beautiful museum that it is.
