Overview
Your Hagia Sophia entry ticket and audio guide will be sent to you by email. You may enter Hagia Sophia at any time during the day and enjoy a self-guided visit using the audio guide. Please note that Hagia Sophia does not allow guided tours inside; therefore, only the audio guide is provided, not a live guide.
For the Blue Mosque part of the tour, please arrive at the designated meeting point at the scheduled time. Our guide will take you inside, explain the history and architecture, and answer your questions. The meeting point is under the trees across from "Roots & Roasted Cafe"and the Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum at the Hippodrome in Sultanahmet.
We can only skip the ticket line for Hagia Sophia. For both Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, entrance queues must be waited for due to security and capacity control. Your Hagia Sophia ticket can be used at any convenient time during the day.

During your visit, you will discover fascinating highlights such as the stunning blend of Byzantine and Ottoman architecture, the massive 1,500-year-old dome, and the famous Deesis mosaic. You will also have the chance to see the “Weeping Column,” believed by many to have healing properties, and learn about the incredible engineering that allowed Hagia Sophia to stand through earthquakes, empires, and centuries of change.
With your audio guide, you can enjoy a deeper, more immersive understanding of one of the world’s most iconic landmarks.
