Easy to buy this tour with a punctual guide who met the group according to the information given via SMS the day before the visit. The information we received on site was hard to hear due to all the loud noises in the surroundings. But well worth avoiding the queues!

Probably one of the most stunning experiences in Istanbul (and a nice escape from the heat). The queues can be very long so being able to skip the queue was definitely worthwhile. The guide accompanied us in, gave an overview of their history and then left us to walk through and take photos at our leisure.
