First of all imagine you are entering 1500 years old one of the oldest and once the biggest Cathedral in the world built by Byzantines that housed for Christians and Muslims for years.From many aspects its unique in the world..Today became a serving mosque again.(Still having the Byzantines mosaics )With one shot you will see a church and a mosque and learn both of it! Firstly you will discover the deep history of Hagiasophia from the beginning till today and see the remnants of the older churches in the garden.
While entering main praying area we ll take off our shoes walk into to the prayer carpet covered area and see the beautiful inner details (islamic calligraphies , additions and Byzantine mosaics.)There are a lot of small but very important symbols and details left from church.The Coronation Area of Byzantine Emperors ,and famous wishing column can be added to this.When the tour finished you can stay longer inside if you like to.
Other things to note
You don’t need to buy ticket its free of charge for visiting.
For the woman visitor There is a covering procedure thats why its recommended to bring your own scarf for covering your hair or you can buy a new one at the entrance for 5 TL scarf for your hair. Or fully body cover for 20 Tl .

I am a professional licensed tour guide working in Istanbul for 10 years. I studied at Aegean University at Tourist Guide department in Turkey for 4 years.I specialized at museums and historical sites of Istanbul. What makes me different from others is “You are not my customers you are my guests in Istanbul” Feel the privilege of having a tour guide while you are walking through ancients sites of istanbul without feeling a stranger ! And learn all the hidden beauties of the places you walk by with their stories.

It means (Holy-Wisdom in Greek)It's the masterpiece of Byzantine art and architecture with its enormous size and wonderful mosaics.After serving as a church about 900 of years was converted into a mosque by the Ottomans in 1453.From 1935 to 2020 It served as a museum.

this is the third time I am with Osman. last trip last year at Hagya Sophia the Christian murals were covered and the scaffolding that had been there for as long as I could remember was gone. so this is the second time I booked with Osman for that particular tour. it as amazing to be back and while Osman last time knew what was hidden and could describe it, now he could show me and tell the history that would only make sense when you can actually see the murals. Osman is very relatable, takes questions on a stride, is engaged and passionate about the topics and you get some personal view of a turk that came to Istanbul and fell in love with it. Also he seems to be naturally social and seems to know "everyone", which feels very reassuring and at the same time I have never ended up somewhere that wants to sell me things. He's now my go-to guide and friend in Istanbul.

We had a very nice time with Osman. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and speaks English well. He was very accommodating and made schedule changes for us. We ended up booking three tours with him, first the Hagia Sophia, then the Blue Mosque/Basilica Cistern/Grand Bazaar, then later in the week we returned for the Topkapi Palace tour. He took us to a delicious authentic coffee shop (best coffee we had the whole time), and showed us how to navigate the tram. Would recommend any of his tours for first time visitors to Istanbul!

Osman is a wonderful guide. He has a deep knowledge of the Haiga Sofia, it’s history, artistry, construction, and the cultures that have influenced this ancient structure. We were ver fortunate to have this experience and learn as much as we did.
