Hagia Sophia was great. It is a must. However, I would not use this tour because it was not really a tour or a skip a line tour. It only skip the line to buy the tickets. We got inside Hagia Sophia with no tour guide. He just stays with us in line until it is time to get in the mosque.

We never could find the tour group so had to tour on our own. I was very disappointed with not being able to find the tour group. That should have been easier.

The tour was very informative and definitely worth it, if only because you can skip the queue.
The guide was also very nice and everything went perfectly at the meeting point! 👍

Never met with the tour… ended up doing it myself. No location was given and it was free to the public. Not even sure why they ask for the ticket price.

Didn’t get the information about meeting place soon enough to go. We cancelled within 24 hours but didn’t get reimbursed as was written in the agreement…so no surprise. They did offer the next day but we were already booked.

Public entry is free of charge. We booked this tickets 2 day before when entering we realized that there is no any ticked needed. This offer is only cheat/imposter !!! I hope TripAdvisor is able to return us the money.
