This tour was fantastic! Walking into the Blue Mosque, I was completely awed by the intricacies of its design. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, painting a vivid picture of the past as we toured the city's iconic spots. I especially loved the visit to the Basilica Cistern, which had a magical ambiance with its ancient columns. Hagia Sophia is a marvel that you need to see to believe, and the freedom to explore it at our own pace was much appreciated. A truly enriching experience.
