What to expect on a Hagia Sophia guided tour?
It is fascinating to delve deeper into the history of the Hagia Sophia and its transformation from the Hagia Sophia Church to the Hagia Sophia Mosque. You may explore it on your own, but a Hagia Sophia guided tour will help you to understand the historicity and cultural impact of the site. An experienced tour guide will share facts, anecdotes, and stories about Hagia Sophia's history and tell you how it came to influence Hagia Sophia's architecture, making for a more informative experience.
When you book a Hagia Sophia guided tour, an English-speaking guide will greet you at the entrance. You can roam around the Hagia Sophia Mosque for a whole hour. The guide will acquaint you with the rules and show you where to remove shoes and headscarves from. After that, the guide will show you around the mosaics, marble columns, and wishing columns of the long-gone Byzantine era. With the guided tour, you only have to pay for the tour guide and not for entering the mosque.
