Reviews: Istanbul: Basilica Cistern Fast-Track Entry and Audio Guide
Guest User2025-08-23
The guide didn't show up, and I didn't receive instructions to meet him; we had to do it independently. The price to do it without a guide is expensive. The audio guide did work and was practical.
Reviews: Istanbul Old City: Basilica Cistern - Blue Mosque - Grand Bazaar
Guest User2025-05-19
We met our guide Dimples at the Foodie Cafe and we went early and had lunch, which was delicious. Would highly recommend the lamb burger as it could feed 2, very tasty! My sister walks slow, and since it was just us and another 2 ladies, it made it nice as we could keep up. It was 3 hours but it went fast. The grand Bazaar was closed as it was Sunday, but there was another great smaller Bazaar very close to the Blue Mosque, which was easy and convenient. We had a perfect day, and at the end, we could look around and shop without feeling rushed.
