On this tour we are going to just skip the ticket line to visit 1500 hundred year old Hagia Sophia from 6.th century A.D by Roman Empire . It was the cathedral of Constantinople for nearly thousand years .as of 2024 January, it is used as a mosque and partly as museum
Headscarves and long dresses ( to cover legs )are required for women and long trousers for men.
By the way Tickets are not included In this tour -it is in addition . I will get your tickets in advance then you can pay me .
ATTENTION! we can only skip the ticket line . For bag controls we may wait a bit to get inside . ( it is something quite rare as long as there is no cruise ship )

The Tour Guide that you should definitely take ! We were family of four and we met Fuat through a reference. Fuat gave us a magnificent tour of Hagia Sophia and then he also gave us a tour of Topkapı palace and blue mosque.we were very pleased with his explanation . I would recommend him to everyone

Hagia Sophia should be at the top the list of things you should visit in istanbul ! As a result of a fantastic tour we understood better where we were thanks to Fuat .He explained to us everything we needed to learn one by one .Fuat explained all the details to us in very calm and nice pace .we did not have to wait in line at all which made us happier .we have joined tours many times before but you should definitely join the Hagia Sophia tours with Fuat !

Our guide let us in without waiting in line and gave detailed information about Hagia Sophia .We couldn’t skip the queue without him .The ticket queue can take more then an hour but thanks to him we didn’t line up . There is a lot of information about the ottoman and Roman Empires inside . I don’t recommend without a guide . Take Fuat to learn about it !

The tour operator gave incorrect location in the post. The google link in the ticket sent us in a wild goose chase. No one knew of this operator at the meeting point. Complete fraud. Once again We bought the tickets at the counter with the help of local guides (very helpful). The tour operator called us ONLY ONCE WE HAD BOUGHT THE TICKETS AND WERE ALREADY INSIDE. Anyways, we love Istanbul. The local people are a GEM. This tour operator is a fraud.. Doesn't matter, apart from this, we had a great time at Istanbul for 4 days. Private yatch cruise, Bhosphorus dining, city walks, Grand Bazar, Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Istikalal (there is just some good vibes there that made us visit 8 times in 4 days). GOOD we didnt buy any more packages from VIATOR, instead relied on our hotel concierge for all local tours

Our guide was excellent. We were able to skip the queue with him. Inside this incredible mosque, he gave us a fascinating history of the mosque and, therefore, Istanbul. Having this guide meant we understood the Hagia Sophia so much more. It was a very worthwhile experience that I recommend to others.

Great introduction of Hagia Sophia with Fuat ! It was our first time in istanbul and Fuat made our trip more enjoyable. We looked for Hagia Sophia guided tours , then we found him ! we are happy to have met him to learn about such a great place of worship 1500 hundred year old . If it wasn’t him we would not understand the historical difference between ottoman and Roman Empires on Hagia Sophia . Highly recommend to join a private Hagia Sophia guided tour with Fuat !!! You won’t regret it !

Fuat was a truly great guide ! He had excellent knowledge about Hagia Sophia as an expert . The first thing that scared us was the ticket queue. But Fuat let us in without waiting in line and we learnt so much about the city Thanks again .

They canceled it because the weather at the last minute (the day was sunny with 20 degrees, perfect weather). When I contacted the tour supplier they told me that Viator continued selling the tour that day although the supplier had already said to Viator it was sold out. We lost the day and we couldn't see the monument, it made us upset.

Mr Fuat is excellent . He speaks good English and keeps everyone entertained. He made sure that everyone saw most of things in one day
