A great experience (second visit in 10 years) due to Yakupha who was well informed about historical details and looked really passionate with his job. Thank you again and again!

I paid €33.50 for a ticket in the online application instead of €50 and saved at least 1 hour of waiting at the ticket counter

First of all paying in advance helped me a lot, because i did not stay at all at any line, we entered very quickly. It was a wonderfull experience.

It's an incredible piece of historical architecture, the queue for security at certain times can be a bit daunting but moves quite quickly , though paying another 25 Euro to visit the " experience" museum is a tad costly as a quality historical text book would be a tad cheaper .

Good option to buy the ticket beforehand, you still need to wait in line to get in. Try to avoid weekends cause this line was 6 x as longer on Saturday than it was on Friday. Probably about 150m long but it moved pretty quickly, within 30 mins we were at the front. Bring your own airpods so you can listen to the audioguide when inside.

Beautiful experience, well organized and with a kind, friendly and passionate guide! Definitely worth the price of the ticket. Plus you skip the queue for access to the sites, something not to be overlooked especially during the hottest times of the year.

It was an amazing experience and the best part was our guide Ms Buse. She was so thorough with the history of the places we visited with her and gave us all the details even if they were small. She was very courteous and understanding as we had a toddler with us.

The entire experience was overwhelming. The layered history, the beautiful art and decorations, the mosque space. It is one of my favorite experiences in Istanbul.

The most impressive and famous mosque in Istanbul, Hagia Sophia, overwhelms you with its grandeur and beauty. Regardless of your religion, you must visit this place, even if to do so you have to wait in a long line to get inside.

This walking tour in Turley was the absolute highlight of our vacation. Our guide was highly knowledgeable, he told us the most important details and it was very pleasent. I'd recommend wearing walking shoes because there's a lot to walk.

The tour of the Hagia Sophia was great. I have always wanted to visit this sublime spiritual space and it did not disappoint. I felt like I had gone back in time! It had a beautiful feel to it. Our tour guide was friendly, well informed and easy to understand. Sometimes though we were a little overwhelmed by the amount of information provided.

Super! Very convenient service. Didn't have to stand in a huge line. Walked up to the site, went to the website, took the deletes and went straight into the facility. Very majestic and beautiful cathedral! A great shrine of Orthodoxy.
