Is Hagia Sophia a Tourist Trap? Istanbul, Turkey | Turkey Travel Vlog

In today's video, we visit Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey. Is it a tourist trap? Come along as we get accosted walking toward Hagia Sophia, not once, not twice, not even three times. It's WAY more! How many times do you think someone stopped us? Watch to the end to see how many people stop us and try to get us to go to their carpet shop or sell us something. Also, pay close attention to where we say we are from, as we throw some funny surprises in there. Let us know in the comments how you would respond in these situations.

Excellent videos guys… It’s a shame U guys got harassed by the street sellers… I never got harassed once other than tourists asking me for directions or taking their pics 😂 … that’s including Turks on a few occasions… 🤷‍♂️ I suppose it helped that I was on my own a lot of the time as my friends weren’t able to hack the heat or milage… (I had to get a minimum of 50k steps in a day :) even if it was July :) Ma I suppose it helps not looking western/european… even if I don’t look like a Turk :) Keep up the good work 👍

This scammers make Turkey look so bad in an otherwise lovely visit. The constant harrassment would be downright scary for me since I travel alone.

[@kaburgadolmas2512]

I don't understand what are you waiting for?? That area is one of the most crowded tourist areas in the world and it is normal for the sellers to be busy. I think you are exaggerating some things too much.

[@carric9962]

I say no one time and then I just ignore them and keep walking.

[@effie-Toronto]

Guys these videos should have been put out long ago they are fantastic......those guys would annoy me Jimmy very patient with them

[@Amanda_in_wonderland]

I always remember the song head, shoulders, knees & toes when having to dress modestly. It helps 😂👍🏻 beautiful mosque

[@annaburch3200]

Gah!!! Those guys make me anxious just watching. I'm glad you saved that for last and highlighted the GREAT parts of Turkey first. What a trip!!!

[@eprohoda]

how u doing?! omg~ graet edition, 🤗

[@bristolishome8049]

Wow, so many touts in that area! There is a bazaar near the blue mosque that was really expensive. The hotel we stayed at was near it and we made the mistake of walking through that bazaar to get to the blue mosque. Not worth it; was much quieter to take the side streets.

What shoes did you use Amanda? That was a lot of walking. I am trying to get good shoes for my feet. They hurt after walking for a bit.

[@tinacaven5084]

Love the video guy's. How did you keep your cool with them?
