The pre-loaded audio was excellent and saved me around £8 extra buying earphones from the kiosk. The description leading up to the tower was great to listen to whilst in the queue. I would have liked the audio to tell me which window to look out of to see each of the historical sites below. Just saying "look north" meant nothing to me. So I had to walk around trying to find them.

Great experience and amazing view at sunset. Easy to get into the tower with the pre-booked tickets which was great as the queue to buy tickets on the day was very long. Maybe on the more expensive side of what I would pay for this but you get an incredible view of the whole city. Definately go at sunrise/sunset if you can.

When we booked the tickets we could skip the queue, but going at 9 am, we did not have that problem, besides being able to enjoy the views without many people and be there for a while walking around and discovering its history explained in the different levels of the tower.

This ginormous tower has been watching the city for over 6 centuries from this exact location and has become one of the most well-known symbols of the city. From the terrace, see one of the most - if not the most beautiful view of this stunning city, all of the historical peninsula, the Topkapı Palace, Hagia Sophia, the Bosphorus Strait, the Bosphorus Bridge, the Marmara Sea, both European and Asian sides of Istanbul, Golden Horn and even the Prince Islands. Spend as much time as you want to take the most incredible pictures of Istanbul.
