Fascinating historical tour with an increadibly knowledgeable guide - An absolutely wonderful tour! We booked the Blue mosque and Sultanahmet Sq tour last minute without knowing what to expect, but so glad we did. Sib was a gracious guide (we were the only guests on our tour) who seemed to know everyone at the various places we visited, and is an increadible resource of knowledge on the history of the Mosque and area (and included an impromptu visit to the stunning Sokollu Mehmet Pasha Mosque) as well as the stories behind the religious history (believe he has just completed a doctorate on the history of religion!). Two hours very well spent, and if you are interested in a deeper historical tour to really hear about the history of the Blue Mosque and surroundings as well as the religious culture, this is definetely the tour for you. Highly recommended!
