The guide did not show up and texted me he would send me tickets to go on our own. THEN he failed to send tickets and said he didn’t know why the system was not working. This was my first negative experience with Viator

I was dissatisfied since I was expecting a tour and it was not. It was only skip a line to buy the tickets. You still have to wait in line to get in the Hagia Sophia Mosque and also there was no tour. The title should be change to reflect what we are buying and be clear on the ecxpectations.

The guide (sorry didn't get your name) was very engaging and knowledgeable, the Hagia Sophia was beautiful. Unfortunately experience all felt rushed due to not meeting contact person, not the actual guide until 10.20 when entrance time was 10.00am. We were at meeting point at 09.45am.

Hagia Sophia was great. It is a must. However, I would not use this tour because it was not really a tour or a skip a line tour. It only skip the line to buy the tickets. We got inside Hagia Sophia with no tour guide. He just stays with us in line until it is time to get in the mosque.

We never could find the tour group so had to tour on our own. I was very disappointed with not being able to find the tour group. That should have been easier.

The tour was very informative and definitely worth it, if only because you can skip the queue.
The guide was also very nice and everything went perfectly at the meeting point! 👍
