I went in December, there were no queues. I did not find the audio guide, neither downloadable nor in QR. Anyway you have to keep in mind that if you go from Spain it is not worth activating the data because of the cost, so if it is not downloadable or if there is no wifi available it does not work. I think it would have compensated me to buy there directly

The QR code hadn't arrived even the day before, so I called to confirm and was told that it would be sent within 20 minutes, and we were able to successfully obtain the QR code. We arrived at Dolmabahce Palace at 9am, and it wasn't very crowded yet, so we didn't really benefit from the skip-the-line ticket (the security gate wasn't very crowded at that time, but there were huge people lining up around 12:30 when we were leaving). The Bosphorus cruise was properly announced in advance, so we were able to easily find the boarding point, and we were fortunatelely able to board it in just before the cruise departed, so we were able to enjoy the cruise without waiting.

The Palace is a marvel, too bad they don't let you take pictures to have a souvenir. By the way, I took the tickets 5 minutes before entering and very well.

With the electronic tickets we had very easy access to the palace. The tour through the audio system was excellent. We spent 4 wonderful hours in Dolmabache. Amazing cafe to relax in the palace gardens. No photos allowed inside.

I would like to leave a review about the boat trip. The point with the geolocation that we received by email was wrong. We had to run to be on time, and take a tram 1 more stop. Please fix this, if a person is in Istanbul for the first time, he will not find the correct location. The location in the app was also wrong. This spoiled our impressions of the time spent.

The palace is very impressive. Of incredible richness and magnitude. Something to improve: the toilets, few and very dirty. They do not match the environment. There is an image of poor management by those in charge.

What a beautiful place! I feel like most people concentrate on the historical sites in Sultanahmet and they overlook this gem! We spent more time here than any other place we visited! I did not like that you can't take pictures inside, because there were a few rooms that I would like to see in pictures when my memory starts to fail me.

Had an amazing time at Dolmabahche Saray. Bought the tickets super easy an hour before the visit, skipped the like and simply entered. The audio system was fun and helped me to learn a lot about the palace. Thanks a lot, it was great!

There was a separate QR for each of us. It would have been a lot easier if both of us had been on one QR code After opening the first QR code it was very difficult to go back and open the second. We didn't go to the palace ticket office since we already had tickets. We went straight to the palace entrance. But the audio guides had to be picked up at the ticket office. That wasn't clear in the instructions. So we didn't get the audio guides.

It was easy to order the ticket on line though I did it right before going. It saved me much time because I didn't have to stand in the line.The audio guide was also very convenient as I could move in my own tempo. The palace itself and the gardens around are very beautiful. Add the terrific view of the sea, ducks and a swan in the pond - one feels like in the paradise! I didn't feel like leaving!

We were at the palace as soon as it opened and there were already a lot of people. The gardens were beautiful as well as the ceremonial halls where high-ranking guests were received and the crystal staircase. Many rooms looked a bit the same and were dark and dusty. The corridors were too narrow for the many people so that there was a queue. It was also a pity that no photos were allowed inside. It was nice to have seen it once, but I would not go there a second time.

Really wonderful and amazing. Very good explanation in my language. You can't miss the Dolmabache Palace when you are in Turkey.

It's very convenient, you don't have to wait in lines. Thanks to the audio guide, I walk slowly, you don't rush to walk along the group

We had no inconvenience or waiting time. We were able to do the tours at our own pace without any schedule pressure. It is much better than taking a tour.

Are you kidding me, no photos are allowed and we got yelled at every time we tried to take a picture. Why can't we take pictures even without the use of flash light?

With the online ticket, which you can download from the app with ease, you are able to quickly access the wonderful dolmabahce palace. Bring an ID with you because it is required to get the free audio guide. The visit to the palace is done independently by following a marked and predetermined route. With the same ticket you can visit the harem and the exhibition of paintings. Highly recommended!
