Coisas para fazer em Turquia

The Basilica Cistern offered me an astonishing experience; it's hard to imagine such a magnificent ancient reservoir hidden beneath the city. The skip-the-line ticket was incredibly convenient, saving me from long waits under the scorching sun, and the entry process was smooth. With the audio guide, I learned about the history of its construction and the stories behind it. Tall stone columns are neatly arranged, and the lights reflect on the water, creating an incredibly atmospheric ambiance. The Medusa column is a classic highlight here, mysterious and very distinctive. Walking through the damp corridors, a profound sense of ancient history washes over you. The overall pace of the visit was comfortable, magical yet stunning, and full of mystery. It's an unmissable attraction when visiting Istanbul.

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.

O guia do balão de ar quente foi fantástico! Muita energia durante todo o passeio e, embora fosse minha primeira vez e eu estivesse um pouco nervoso, a empolgação e confiança dele ajudaram a acalmar os nervos. Nota 10/10, recomendo e voltaria a fazer! Experiência soberba por um bom preço em junho! O voo durou mais de 1 hora e valeu muito a pena. Obrigado, Skyway, pela experiência maravilhosa. Eu recomendo esta empresa para o seu passeio de balão de ar quente. Apenas façam!

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.

Awesome ferry ride. Was not expecting this level of awesomeness from just a simple boat ride. for those who wish to experience both Europe and Asia side, this ride is for you. But bring a jacket though as it gets very windy. Overall, POWEEEEER!

The trainers were great, very kind and helpful. my horse Sultan was a huge brown female horse, but she was kind and would walk slowly for me. although it can be a little scary for a first timer, it is worth the experience. the instructors helped us throughout the way and took for us pictures and videos. super worth it. thank you to yasin, ahmed, and majeed for all your help! it lasted more than 2 hours so super worth your money!!

We enjoyed beautiful views of the Bosphorus Strait from a wonderful location until sunset. You can get a great view of Dolmabahçe Palace, Rumeli Hisarı, and the Maiden's Tower from the sea as you pass under the bridges. Chef Ahmet served warm tea and distributed blankets. The fruit and cookie platter, along with the additional french fries and toast, were also delicious. With drink service included, this tour offers great value and is highly recommended. Please do order drinks and additional food! Thank you for the lovely magnet gift! This is my third time in Turkey, and this cruise is the best for relaxing and enjoying the music. Thank you for the excellent service, Chef Ahmet!

Conveniência: É fácil de reservar e foi muito prático de usar, pois basta mostrar o código do voucher para entrar imediatamente. Atividades incluídas: Havia várias atividades, o que foi ótimo para experimentar, mas gostaria que fossem adicionadas mais opções de passes para regiões com muitos turistas, como Capadócia e Antália. Usei três: a Basílica de Cisterna (Yerebatan), o show com jantar na caverna na Capadócia e Pamukkale. Se você escolher a opção de acesso rápido (Fast Track) para a Basílica de Cisterna, a entrada é super rápida, pois a fila normal é muito longa. E quanto ao guia de áudio, baixe-o com antecedência e ouça na acomodação; mesmo baixando, quando chegar ao local, a conexão pode cair no meio devido aos dados móveis, e de qualquer forma, há tantos turistas que fica muito agitado e é difícil se concentrar haha. Ah, e o cruzeiro gratuito foi realmente excelente! No entanto, no pacote de bebidas ilimitadas, os assentos ficam no centro, então você não pode sentar nas mesas da borda, pois eles reservam essas apenas para quem reservou com refeição inclusa. Mas, depois que o navio parte, descer para o primeiro andar e ficar em pé na parte externa é refrescante, a vista é melhor e as fotos ficam ótimas, então fiquei muito satisfeito.

An absolutely beautiful sunrise experience in Cappadocia! Watching the hot air balloons fill the sky while horse riding was truly magical and something we’ll always remember. The tour was well worth it and made for some unforgettable views and memories. A special mention to Atif from Afghanistan, who guided my horse. He was extremely friendly, helpful, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cappadocia! 🐎🎈

Buying the Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern combo ticket this time was very convenient. Purchasing in advance on Klook saved time waiting in line for tickets on-site. Both attractions are well worth visiting; the lighting and overall atmosphere of the Basilica Cistern are especially unique, and walking through it in person is even more breathtaking than the photos. The Hagia Sophia is also magnificent and great for first-time visitors to Istanbul. Advance ticket purchase is recommended!

Since it was peak season and I was traveling with my mother, I booked a fast-track ticket for convenience. I usually explore museums and palaces thoroughly with audio guides even when traveling alone, so I booked the fast-track option (including an audio guide). However, I later found out it didn't include the Harem section. To add the Harem, it would cost an additional 1040 lira, which is about 35,000 won, purchased at the internal ticket office. In hindsight, it would have been better to buy a ticket that included a guided tour from the start. The palace is so vast and has so much to see that it took us three hours just to look around on our own, and we visited on a Sunday, so there were long lines at each section. I thought it would have been more efficient if a guide had pointed out the key locations and must-see items. Also, the audio guide included with this ticket is not the official palace commentary but a much more concise version. While the official version might be better for those with a strong academic interest exploring alone, on a day like ours, when we were simply enjoying the beautiful and rare artifacts, we didn't really listen to the commentary anyway. So, it wasn't an issue. The tickets are exchanged inside the meeting point (Bistro), and at the designated time, a host personally escorts you into the palace. It was nice to arrive a little early, have a drink, and wait comfortably. The host spoke English clearly and distinctly, which made me think it would have been even better to have an English guided tour. In conclusion, even a simple guided tour is better than none, and I recommend a tour that includes the Harem section if you're going anyway. However, I have no regrets about exploring freely, and I was truly happy because Topkapi Palace was so magnificent. With its panoramic views, architecture, and the artifacts and jewels inside, it's a must-visit attraction that I highly recommend, despite the expensive admission fee!

It was smooth, exciting, with the right amount of time to spend, as well as some given free time to explore the sites. The attractions are close together, which made the rides enjoyable. I liked that it wasn't a big group. My tour guide, Rabía, is great, professional, informative, and she always checked on us. I really appreciated her. The buffet-style lunch was fresh and tasty. Just one thing was out of the itinerary written here: we had a quick stop for a complimentary Turkish food and coffee tasting session at a store, which I didn't mind because I didn't feel any pressure to shop. It was lovely that they offered you a deal after the tasting and prior to your browsing at the store. The customer service team of this tour was good as well, and the response time was reasonably quick. I do encourage you to reach out to them first about the arrangement via the contact info they provided here.
