Not worth the money if you go early and it is under construction

It is under construction, so you really can’t see much. Also when you get there early, there is no line to purchase a ticket at the door.

Dear Viator Support Team, We would like to bring to your attention a recent review left on our listing that we believe is misleading and unfairly damaging to our business. The customer stated concerns that are not related to our service. We are a small agency that specializes in online ticket sales, and we have fulfilled our service exactly as promised. The customer purchased tickets from us, and we delivered them securely one day prior to their scheduled visit. All necessary entry details and instructions were clearly communicated in advance. We did not mislead or deceive the customer in any way. The tickets were valid, delivered on time, and successfully usable. The issues mentioned in the review—such as construction inside Hagia Sophia, queues at the entrance, or ticket office conditions—are entirely beyond our control and unrelated to the service we provide. Additionally, Hagia Sophia has its own official listing on platforms such as Viator and Tripadvisor. Feedback regarding on-site conditions should be directed there so that it accurately informs future visitors. We kindly request that you review this case and consider removing or moderating the review, as it does not reflect our service and may cause unjust harm to our business despite our honest and diligent efforts. Thank you for your time and understanding. Kind regards,

M

Hahgia Sophia visit.

Interesting visit but unfortunately the Sophia is in the middle of extensive repairs so the inside views are compromised.

Operator response

We are a private business that only sells tickets and provides services that are 100% safe and reliable. We have no connection whatsoever with the construction inside Hagia Sophia. This comment should be directed to Hagia Sophia’s official account. We ask you to delet this Review from our page.

Best Experience

This was the best food tour experience ever. It was my daughter and I and our tour guide was amazing. We felt comfortable and safe the whole time. Besides the amazing food, you learn how to navigate the city along with the best places to shop & eat (and where not to). Thanks our tour guide Alli!!!!
