Skip the ticket line at Hagia Sophia, with optional museum, AR tech, and 23-language audio. Great value for time-crunched visits.

“Need improvement and update on information of how the ticket will be sent. The description in GYG is one day before the visitation. In realization, it's on the day of the visitation. Maybe update the information. Also the place to pickup the ticket is the Hagia Sophia Experience museum. You should update that as well.”

“El pase llegó a tiempo, mucho antes de nuestro check-in. Nos encantó la presentación del mismo. Ahí se ve la seriedad y el compromiso de la empresa. El contacto con la empresa es rápido y son oportunos. La descripción de sus servicios es clara. El asesor que tuvimos por Whatsapp llamado Nelson, fue también muy oportuno y formal. Resolvió todas nuestras dudas. Este pase vale la pena si vamos a estar los 3 días completos en Estambul, pues de lo contrario quedan cosas pendientes. La verdad el HOP ON-HOP OFF BUS no nos gustó del todo. Primero la atención de la mujer encargada de imprimir los boletos fue un poco…”

“A memorable day. We were picked up from our hotel punctually, by a local guide who shared information about Kusadasi itself and the countryside we drove through. He was extremely knowledgable and imparted information in a clear way. He told us that he talked too much but I would disagree - we learned lots and he really added to our experience. A good trip to Ephesus and the Virgin Mary House.”
