Ting at lave i 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.

Fantastisk oplevelse! Vores turguide var utrolig venlig, vidende og tog sig rigtig godt af os under hele turen. Kan varmt anbefales!

Vores guide var en dejlig dame, som delte masser af interessant information om de steder, vi så. Hun var meget imødekommende og ventede for at sikre, at alle fik set og hørt hende.

Det at besøge Hagia Sophia var højdepunktet på denne rejse. Det ærgerlige var, at både ydre og indre var under ombygning. Alligevel var det rigtig dejligt at kunne mærke den historiske tyngde i denne kulturarv, hvor alt fra vægmalerier og graffitier, brugt fra dens tid som ortodoks kirke til moské, er bevaret som dengang. Der er en mobil guide på japansk, men da det var AI-stemme, var der mange sætninger, hvor det japanske ikke kunne forstås, så jeg nød det ved at gætte mig meget frem. Talehastigheden var også langsom, så da jeg selv satte den til 1,5x hastighed, lød den lige som en normal hastighed. Men jeg tænkte alligevel, at man ikke kan tale om at turiste i Istanbul uden at se Hagia Sophia. Det var godt, jeg tog af sted.

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.
