Advertised as 'guaranteed skip the line' in special offers, but it wasn't. The only reason we booked was to skip. The guide was nice and apologized for mix up. Info on trip advisor is outdated probably since Hagia Sofia became a mosque again. It is open to all with free admission so there literally is no skip the line for this reason. Now we know.

No information was given to idefntify the guide, meeting place was empty and not by the mosque entrance (guide didn't give ANY information on where to meet them). I walked around for more than 30 minutes asking every person with a flag and no one knew about Guliver's tours. I tried phoning multiple times - no answer. I tried sending multiple messages via tripadvisor - no answer to any of them. Travelled far for such a dissapointing and aweful experience with Gulliver's tours. Don't waste your time with them. Tripadvisor refused a refund without giving a reason.

It was a very enjoyable tour that we learned the amazing history of Hagia Sophia. Our guide was very knowledgeable and polite, he answered all our questions. If you are going to visit Hagia Sophia, I strongly recommend you to join this tour.
