When booking the tour with van for Day-1, if your hotel is located in Sultanahmet you will be steps from the museums, so the van will not be used as much. On Day-2 and Day-3 we suggest you to book a van as transfers are required between sights.
Annual closing dates of museums and bazaars; New Year, Ramadan Festival, Sacrifice Eid/Festival
Since Hagia Sophia is not a museum anymore tour guides don't have skip-the-line priority so you may need to wait in the security line. To avoid queues we suggest departing at 8:30am or 9:00am.
