We enjoyed our day, despite the rain. We saw the palace, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar. Our tour guide was informative and quite knowledgeable, able to answer all our questions. The bell was delicious, and was at a Michelin rated restaurant.We were disappointed with Hagia Sophia, as non Turks weren’t allowed in the bottom part of the mosque, and we were told our entry didn’t include the museum. The tour was quite expensive, I believe the tickets to Hagia Sofia were 25 euros each, definitely not wirth the price of the ticket. At Jessy we waited until later in the afternoon to go in, because the line earlier in the day was extremely long.
