“Good communication and clear instructions from the provider. Our other provider for the Hagia Sophia sent very difficult and confusing instructions. Note that, even if you are there for the 9.30 am slot, the place is very crowded. And the guided large tour groups are super entitled. Happy with this provider.”

“We booked the tickets in advance to avoid any queueing - in fact there were no queues on the day we went but it was good to have the tickets in advance anyway. However, I was sent 3 e-mails with tickets attached and we struggled to know which tickets to use for which part - on two occasions they would not accept any of the tickets but knidly let us in anyway.”
