Ting å gjøre i Tophane

Vi kunne nyte den vakre utsikten over Bosporosstredet fra en fantastisk beliggenhet mens solen gikk ned. Fra sjøsiden kunne vi se Dolmabahçe-palasset, Rumeli Hisarı og Jomfrutårnet tydelig mens vi passerte broen. Kokk Ahmet serverte varm te og delte ut tepper til oss. Frukt- og kjekstallerkenen, samt de ekstra pommes fritesene og toasten, var også veldig deilige. Drikkeservice var inkludert, og dette er en tur jeg absolutt vil anbefale på grunn av den gode verdien for pengene. Bestill gjerne drikke og ekstra mat! Tusen takk for den fine magnetgaven! Dette er min tredje gang i Tyrkia, men dette cruiset var det beste, da vi kunne slappe av og nyte musikken i fred. Takk for utmerket service, kokk Ahmet!

Visiting Hagia Sophia was the main purpose of this trip. It was a shame that both the exterior and interior were under renovation. Nevertheless, it was truly wonderful to experience the profound historical significance of this cultural heritage site, with its frescoes and even graffiti from when it was used as a mosque after being an Orthodox church, all preserved as they were. Although there's a mobile Japanese audio guide, I had to infer a lot because many parts of the AI voice's Japanese were incomprehensible. The speaking speed was also slow, so I set it to 1.5x speed, which made it sound normal. Still, I believe you can't talk about sightseeing in Istanbul without seeing Hagia Sophia. I'm glad I went.

Fantastisk fergetur. Hadde ikke forventet dette nivået av fantastiskhet fra bare en enkel båttur. For de som ønsker å oppleve både Europa- og Asia-siden, er denne turen noe for deg. Men ta med en jakke, for det blir veldig vindfullt. Alt i alt, POWEEEEER!

Balena and the entire crew of golden city tour did a fantastic job off arranging and guiding the tour. They served us well, taken good care of us. Multiple spot coverage with little bit of history and facts put across really well. Great recommendations and hospitality!

Opplevelsen min i Cisterna Basilica var helt fantastisk. Det er vanskelig å forestille seg et så storslått, gammelt vannreservoar gjemt under byen. Køfri billett var veldig praktisk, da vi slapp å vente lenge i den brennende solen, og inngangsprosessen var smidig. Med en lydguide kunne vi lære om bygningens historie og historiene bak den. De høye søylene sto på rekke og rad, og lysene reflekterte i vannet, noe som skapte en utrolig atmosfære. Medusa-søylen er en klassisk attraksjon her, mystisk og veldig særegen. Mens vi gikk langs de fuktige gangene, ble vi overveldet av en følelse av gammel og tung historie. Den generelle turen var behagelig, fantastisk og imponerende, full av mystikk, og er en attraksjon man ikke må gå glipp av når man besøker Istanbul.

The palace is definitely worth visiting and I recommend it to everyone. It was very easy to book the tickets on Klook, but you need to keep in mind that the skip the line allows you to skip the ticket line only, not the first security check line. When I went, for the ticket office the line was very short, just a few people, while the security line was very long, all the way to the street. 📸 If you want to take a photo with the sea gates, do not stop at the first one if there is a huge line, you can walk along the iron fence and you’ll find four more sea gates. I saw many people lining up for the first gate, but the other ones had 1-2 people taking photos.

We first met at a pub and then headed to Topkapi Palace together, which was a fun and unique way to start the tour! 😆 It was raining, so walking around and exploring the palace was a little difficult, but somehow that made the experience even more memorable and fun. ☔️🇹🇷 We joined the 3 PM tour, but it felt a little rushed toward the end. If you want to explore Topkapi Palace more comfortably and have enough time to see everything, I’d definitely recommend choosing an earlier tour!

It was a wonderful experience. The boat offers drinks and snacks, along with an audio guide throughout the journey. The vessel is large, clean, and new with a great atmosphere and beautiful views. You can enjoy the scenery and learn about the history of various locations situated along the Bosphorus Strait. Service: Excellent Safety: Excellent Itinerary: Excellent Sights along the way: Excellent Value for money: Outstanding

The food is very good and the experience of the cruise is very nice. Everything was nice. The server hasan was excellent, and every show on this cruise was fantastic. When the belly dancer performed, she was a showstopper; she stole the show. The entire cruise was incredibly amazing. The cruise journey started with a welcome drink and food. Once the ship left the dockyard, dinner was served, which was amazing. The service from the guy named Hassan was excellent. Then the show started. Oh my God, the cruise shows were all very, very good. Everything was good. The belly dancer, when she entered, was a showstopper. She will steal your heart, 110%. Her moves and dance were incredible. Everything was so good, and the service was top-notch. You will spend your three hours beautifully.
