Tour is very comprehensive and efficient. Tour guide explains each location very well and is very patient in gathering all the attendees before proceeding to the next location.

Arda was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about history and the buildings. Very good experience overall. Highly recommended.

Great 4.0
the guide from MasterPass was really competent and the 3 sites are worth the time to visit in 1/2 day. The only frustrating part was the cruise option. When we got to the harbour, it seems that nobody knew what to do with our booking. The tour operator tried to help us with the code and in the end just gave up and hussled us up the boat. He also tried to text the operator but didn’t get a response. The Cruise was interesting though and was 1.5hr instead of 2.

highlights were the blue mosque and basilica cistern - both very worthwhile. Hagia Sophia mosque was under renovation, not allowed on ground floor, only at balcony level, so this detracted from the experience greatly. Bosphorus cruise, not enough information was given and I had to follow up separately via messages afterwards

I visited all three sites: the Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque, and the history was explained in great detail! However, I didn't get to do the Bosphorus cruise. The tour title mentioned it, but then I was told there was no cruise experience, which was quite disappointing.

Hands down the most erudite and considerate guide of all time ! ( that I’ve ever encountered hehe ) He definitely prevails over other guides that I see today at the places of interest, in the sense that he fills you in with little stories and fun facts during queue and on the tour. Not only did he make me feel welcome heard and taken care of, I also learnt a lot on this tour about the vivid history behind Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Bravo brother ! And I cordially and sincerely recommend you guys to opt for his tour. It will unfailingly make your time worth. I know that cuz he really made my day and help get rid of all of those blues with his passion kindness and geniuneness. Hope in the future I get to join his tour again.

The meeting point is near the blue mosque entrance, I enjoyed my blue mosque tour guide , however by the time the blue mosque tour finished, ive no time to enjoy the blue mosque itself, I stay for about 10 min and need to rush to the hagia Sophia tour which they left without us. they pack the 2 tours so near each other and you wont have time for the blue mosque, ended up I can only go in the hagia Sophia tour myself but no guide because they said I miss the tour. pls plan out at least 1.5 hr for the blue mosque tour before you start the hagia Sophia tour, if not, after you rush for the hagia Sophia tour you need to go back to blue mosque to walk again because you have not got the time to do so after the 1st tour. thats what I have to do with my friend, we went back blue mosque because we dont have time to walk and admire it after the guide talk abt it.. hence a little disappointing. when I ask the megapass person, they just said i got the tix, i go in and listen to audio for hagia
