Co dělat v Blue Mosque

Punctual and well-informed, our guide made the mosque visit a pleasure. He covered its history and design, told us about Istanbul, and left us with great ideas for where to go next.

Úžasný zážitek! Náš průvodce byl neskutečně přátelský, znalý a po celou dobu výletu se o nás skvěle staral. Vřele doporučujeme!

Naše průvodkyně byla milá dáma, která se s námi podělila o spoustu zajímavých informací o místech, která jsme navštívili. Byla velmi přístupná a počkala, aby se ujistila, že ji všichni viděli a slyšeli.

Návštěva Hagie Sofie byla hlavním cílem naší cesty. Velkou schůzkou však bylo, že exteriér i interiér byly v rekonstrukci. Přesto jsem rád(a), že jsem mohl(a) pocítit tíhu kulturního dědictví, od fresek z dob pravoslavného chrámu až po mešitu, které se dochovaly v původním stavu, včetně starých nápisů. K dispozici je i mobilní průvodce v japonštině, ale protože šlo zřejmě o AI hlas, mnoho vět nebylo srozumitelných, takže jsem si je musel(a) domýšlet. Rychlost řeči byla také pomalá, takže když jsem si ji nastavil(a) na 1,5násobnou rychlost, zněla tak akorát normálně. I tak si ale myslím, že bez návštěvy Hagie Sofie není prohlídka Istanbulu úplná. Jsem rád(a), že jsem tam byl(a).

Our guide Mr Baris is very knowledgeable and helpful. He shared a lot about the history of the places. However, as it’s a walking tour, it is quite tiring especially for those a little older. Nonetheless a good tour to began with at Istanbul.

This was truly one of the finest tours we have ever taken, regardless of the destination. After initially experiencing some issues while booking a guide, we were relieved when the tour company, Tour Mania, contacted us via WhatsApp and confirmed that our tour was back on. Meeting Hassan early that morning turned out to be a real treat, especially when we discovered that we were the only guests on the tour. He took us into the Blue Mosque through a side entrance, helped us with tickets to Hagia Sophia, and helped us and guided us through this incredible historical landmark. We explored the courtyard of the Topkapi Palace, where Hassan was thoughtful enough to take photos with us and of our family so we could preserve these special memories. Our entire family thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and Aslan left a lasting impression on all of us. His knowledge, hospitality, and genuine warmth made our time in Istanbul even more memorable.

Forken was a great tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind. He took the time to offer suggestions getting around and places to see.

Omar was an excellent tour guide. he told us about the history of all the guided sites we went to. he is very attentive to our needs.

We had a wonderful tour of Istanbul, exploring its beautiful sites and magnificent mosques. Our guide, Batu, was well-versed on Istanbul’s history, he was professional and friendly, making the experience both enjoyable and informative. In the evening, we enjoyed a 2-hr boat ride around the Bosphorus River. We truly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul! We were also picked up and dropped off to our hotel which was very convenient.
