Private Führung durch die Basilika-Zisterne mit Zugang ohne Anstehen

Hasan was very knowledgeable. This was a fun tour! He had all kinds of trivia and facts regarding the Basilica Cistern

Hasan is extremely knowledgeable and a great story-teller. I would recommend him for a private tour. It’s so nice to converse and to be able to ask questions.

Hidden gem, did a great job explaining and sharing the cistern histories. Professional and pleasant.

Hasan was incredibly knowledgeable about the cisterns and delivered a wonderful and complete experience. The location is fascinating and he did it justice. He was a fantastic person and went out of his way to be helpful.

Hassan Review We had three different guides for touring Istanbul. Hassan was far and away the best. He provided great historic information about Basilica Cistern, as well as impressive details about the design and construction of the site. He had a knack for finding great photo ops and was also quite charming. We highly recommend him!

Great tour of Hagia Sophia !!! Lots of history and attention to details ! We had a great time! Thank you Hasan! Best tour guide !

Absolutely fantastic, skip the line was also great! Learnt alot from our guide, Hasan. He was very informative!

Hasan was brilliant. We went to the Hagia Sofia Mosque with him as our guide. He was knowledgeable, personable and made it fun, educational and interesting. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He was simply great.

Fantastic tour led by Hassan Alicia. Aya Sofia was built in the year 400 AD. Hassan knows an incredible amount about the history, religion and culture around the Aya Sofia. And he's got a lot of humor, too. Look him up. Highly recommended!

The Basilica Cistern was one of the most mesmerizing places we visited in Istanbul, and having Hassan as our private guide made it even more incredible. His storytelling, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the site’s history truly brought the space to life. From skipping the long lines to pointing out hidden details — like the Medusa heads and the engineering marvels of the cistern — Hassan made the entire experience seamless, informative, and engaging. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it shows in the way he shares the history with passion and clarity. We can’t recommend this tour — and Hassan — highly enough. If you’re visiting Istanbul, don’t miss this!
