Some Love From My Guests

We were that lucky to be just the 2 of us as group and the guide contacted me after booking to share meeting point information. The meeting point was easy to be found away from all other guides and the crowd. The tour itself was great as he was highlighting details and information beyond what you could look up at Wikipedia & Co. Especially these details made it so special; also the guide brought a tablet to show some more historical backgrounds of e.g. how it was in the past. You could feel how passionate and well knowledged the guide was and for this, I only recommend to book tours with him.

We decided to take a guided tour of Hagia Sophia with a local expert to learn more about the history of this iconic place; and truly the attention, information and treatment received by Oǐulcan exceeded our expectations.
From the start, she kept communication, which made meeting and entering the place very easy. I provide us with detailed information about the entire history of Hagia Sophia in a pleasant, dynamic and not at all boring way. If you want to make your visit to this wonderful place truly to never forget, I advise you to count on Oǐulcan, you will not regret it.
