Only skips line to buy tickets. No tour - 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.

The entrance to the mosque is free. - Never met with the tour… ended up doing it myself. No location was given and it was free to the public. Not even sure why they ask for the ticket price.

Hagia Sophia - Didn’t get the information about meeting place soon enough to go. We cancelled within 24 hours but didn’t get reimbursed as was written in the agreement…so no surprise. They did offer the next day but we were already booked.

Hagia Sophia was beautiful but we had to do it alone. - 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.

Impostors / Cheaters - Public entry is free of charge. We booked this tickets 2 day before when entering we realized that there is no any ticked needed. This offer is only cheat/imposter !!! I hope TripAdvisor is able to return us the money.
