Beautiful site loved story behind it - Must visit sites very historical and beautiful place. Go early in the morning less tourist. No need for guide. All infos are in internet.

A must see place - A must see , the Mosque was opened for Muslim prayer since 2020 ... so you can visit it for free along with the famous soltan Ahmed Mosque.

Beautiful mosque - Beautiful Mosque, with lots of history and beauty. Never forget that it is necessary to respect Muslim religion and customs, and that this is a place for prayers, open to the public. Knowing so much history and beauty makes a difference.

Basic, Hagia Sophia - A magnificent external monument which has been restored and internally steeped in history. You could use a little renovation in some places. In short, a bargain monument.

WE LOVET IT - what a beautiful historic place it was breathtaking experience we still can not believe 1500 years ago no technology like today some one make this church or now a mosque. definitely must see place. we loved it.

holy sophia mosque - Majestic, paying for "non-Muslims", free for Muslims, worth seeing, this building steeped in history.. The price of the tour is quite expensive, like many tours in Istanbul.

Book ahead to skip line, brilliant for history and art afficionados - Brilliant site to visit for history buffs and art lovers. Book ahead to skip the long lines - inside are lovely examples of architecture and Byzantine era mosaics

Overpriced, overrated. - The mosque is worth a one-time visit from the cultural and historical perspective, but the entry fee is very expensive (25 e) for what it offers. Overcrowded and most important: you are not allowed to visit the ground floor level (only if you are Turkish or muslim), only the balcony level.

Big expectations and disappointment… - Inside there are very beautiful mosaics. But since it was converted into a mosque, some are no longer visible (hidden by sheets: ridiculous) and especially level 1 and ground floor are no longer accessible, so it is impossible to see the library, the Mirhab etc.... Basically you queue for 2 hours (at least) to stay there for 30 minutes. I had high expectations and am therefore disappointed.

There Are Better Mosques in Istanbul - Very expensive for such a short tour. Only Muslims and Turkish are allowed on the first floor, supposedly because they were praying. Not the case. I didn’t realize there would not be full access for all. I wouldn’t recommend this tour. Go to the Blue Mosque. It is free, although I gladly would give a donation.
