    Die Gruppe war mit etwa 40 Personen zu groß. Die Sprachqualität der bereitgestellten Audio Guides war sehr schlecht. Man konnte nur wenig verstehen, ständige Störgeräusche machten das Zuhören sehr anstrengend. Die Wartezeit an der Sicherheitskontrolle betrug auch noch einige Zeit, sodass wir erst eine Stunde nach dem offiziellen Start in die Hagia Sophia eintreten konnten. Der Guide war sehr freundlich.

    Organisatorisch top, darüber hinaus informativ. Dem Thema entsprechend allerdings etwas „trocken“.

    La basilica di Santa Sofia era stupenda, invio del ticket per entrare è stata poco soddisfacente le istruzioni non erano in italiano.

    Guide nur in Englisch. Your mobile guide hatten wir installiert, ließ sich auch abhören. Man konnte dem durch die App vorgegebenen Weg bedingt durch die vielen Touristen nicht so schnell folgen, wie die App dies vorgab. Wünschenswert wäre eine App, die eine Info zu dem Ort abrufbar macht, an dem man sich gerade befindet. Dann ist man unabhängig von den Touristenströmen und kann sich an einem Ort auch mal etwas länger aufhalten
