Private Guided Hagia Sophia Tour with Skip the Line Access

Hassan was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. We toured the Hagia Sophia and basilica cistern. Learned a lot and laughed a lot.

Wow. We were fortunate enough to have come across Hasan. Despite not having booked in advance, we were given an informative, interesting, and entertaining tour of the Hagia Sophia. Eager to answer all our questions, and a giving informative answers, we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Well humoured, friendly, and kind, Hasan was a highlight of our trip to Istanbul.

Hasan gave us a brilliant tour around Hagia Sophia. He was very knowledgeable on the history and brought it to life with all his quotes and short stories. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to visit. It was an added bonus that he enabled us to jump to long queues with his guide pass.

We met Hassan outside Hagia Sophia and he gave us a great tour. Tremendous historical knowledge and easy to talk to. We hired him separately for a tour of Topalki Palace and that was excellent as well. I would hire Hassan for any Istanbul tour

We found Hasan by chance and what a great stroke of luck! We had a very informative tour of the Hagia Sophia. He took us around and explained everything with humour and detail. He had a spare scarf for me and even found a stormtrooper for the boys in the marble. Due to having a guide as good as Hasan we all enjoyed the historic sight and learnt a lot. Thanks Hasan!

Hassan is both an excellent guide and a superb example of a person who build bridges between different nationalities and religious faiths, at a time when these skills are much needed. He speaks excellent English and has a great sense of humour. Highly recommended.

We had 2 days in Istanbul while on a cruise and had a rough idea of what we wanted to see. While looking at the large queues to get into the Hagia Sophia (around 45 mins) we were approached by Hasan. He offered a skip the line tour and we took him up on the offer. Best decision we made. Hasan was very friendly, spoke excellent English and gave us a very informative tour of the mosque. We would definitely not have had the same experience doing this on our own. I would highly recommend Hasan as a tour guide and if we get the chance to visit beautiful Istanbul again will definitely book other tours with him. Thanks Hasan

We met with Hasan by coincidence, but the positive tone was set immediately. We, a family of four, decided to engage him for the whole day. First of all, Hasan made sure that we managed to see several attractions within limited time. But at the same time we did not feel like missing out on anything. Rather the opposite. His knowlegde made the tours really interesting and worthwhile. He also made room for lunch and pausees. At last he gave us several good recommandations for the rest of the stay. By best recommandatons to Hasan.

Hasan is an extremely kind, precise, and professionally impeccable person. We learned a lot of information from him, and it was one of the best experiences of our vacation. We chose a one-hour program at the Hagia Sophia. Important: Hasan speaks excellent English! Thank you for the experience!

The tour was incredible! Our guide bought the tickets in advance and advised us to get to the Hagia Sophia early. We were almost first in line to enter, and there were no crowds inside. The guide was immensely knowledgeable and shared information in a way that made everything very interesting. His English was impeccable. After visiting the Hagia Sophia, we went to the Basilica Cistern—what a great experience! A tour of Galata and the Taksim district followed, rounding off an amazing day. Thank you for a day we’ll never forget. Your tour was truly unforgettable!
