Hagia Sophia Private Tour - 30 Minutes Or 1 Hour

So much interesting history to this place and our guide did such a great job tying it all together. We highly recommend him to our friends.

Ergin was a great guide for our full day private tour for two people. With over 20 years experience, Ergin told the stories to our places of interest and the history and life in Turkey with passion, deep knowledge, enthusiasm and humour. We were allowed time to ourselves to browse the Grand Bizzare and Ergin knows all the ways to best co-ordinate and optimise our day with the least amount of time spent in lines. A great day. Ergin was also very generous in helping us with recommendations to other aspects of our days spent in Turkey. Highly recommended.

Great place. I got Elgrin as a guide and he was great. Informative and funny. I actually tracked him down another for a different tour.

Ergin Karakoyun was fantastic! Knowledgeable, friendly, and well-organized. He shared fascinating insights about each site and kept the tour engaging. Their passion for the culture was contagious. Excellent time management and great sense of humor. Highly recommend. What’s amazing thing is, he can speak Chinese very well.

The guide he was so helpful and so friendly explain everything in detailed and the most thing that he is do friendly ……………………………………………

Great tour guide we enjoyed he explained the history beautifully with some jokes . He is the best best tour guide in mosque

Very knowledgeable and enjoyable to listen to. Great sense of humour. Extremely good English and personable. Will us him again.

It was a very interesting tour of the Hagia Sophia. Tour guide was very friendly and informative. Would definitely recommend.

A knowledgeable and friendly guide, who provides the historical context, as well as deep history of the building itself. You can skip the line, which is a big benefit, and enjoy this private tour. 100% recommend!

It is a rectification, in hindsight I have to confess he tried very hard. Even if you had questions. Even if you had questions that did not concern him for example good restaurants . He is very affable and very net . I'm also very sorry that I just gave him these five stars. I really hope I've upset him too much. I'm very careful with reviews. I don't like to give five stars. Because who is perfect??. Yes, but I think I can give it this five stars, even if it's retrospective. I'm looking forward to seeing him again. And may invite him back for coffee. Thank you 🙏, sorry.

This visit to Hagia Sophia was really great, the guide was particularly professional, logical, it didn't sound boring at all, and with a sense of humor, it was hard to keep listening. Not only did he answer your questions with great patience, he also made the complex history easy to understand in a vivid way, making the whole trip easy and rewarding. It's really highly recommended.

I applied for a Fast Track ticket on Bookingcom but did not receive a QR code. Ergin Karakoyun, our guide on the day, was very experienced and very good

Super tour interesting details very entertaining , great that we were led past the waiting line and did not have to queue

Ergin gave us a great time. We had a lot of fun. In addition to one or two jokes, he showed us a lot and explained excitingly

Great experience. Very well guided tour. 45 minutes of detailed, exciting information. Everything was there, from the angel light, mosaics, religious history, to the far-reaching history to half the Dane “Halvden”. Thanks for the time.

Reşit Gultekin English guide for Ayasfya it was great!!!! Thank you Efendi!!! We appreciated your company and your valuable information about the mosque and the palace.

Everything went well. Hit on time at agreed meeting point. The fast track tickets, which are not included in the price of the tour, were also sold to us by the guide. He told us a lot of details about Hagia Sophia's exciting history and architecture, and made it very exciting for us. We can recommend the guide.

For the second time, we had the opportunity to experience a great, warm and professional tour of historic Istanbul with Ergin with our guests. An all-round impressive experience – highly recommended!

The guide was very good. He told interesting stories and the tour was never boring. He has responded to all our wishes. It was a great experience.

We got a wonderful experience and recommend the guide who is Ergin without a doubt an extraordinary person and a great tour guide

Very good guide with wit and good background knowledge. We were very quick without waiting in the mosque and also did not have to accept waiting times when buying tickets.

Extremely interesting & fun guided tour of Hagia Sophia. Genialer Guide. Historical background well explained and very good stories told about everything.

Excellent tour. Guide very polite and friendly and with full knowledge. And you don't get in line. It's worth it! We recommend.
