Dolmabahçe Palace & Harem Skip-the-Line Tickets with Audio Guide

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.

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.

As the place was very crowdy we were lucky to have our skip the line tickets. It saved us a lot of time. Information provided in the audio guide was interesting and just enough not to get bored. Unfortunately there is no audio guide available in Polish which I find surprising given the amount of tourists from Poland I saw there. The palace is impressive and really worth visiting but unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures inside.

I was very angry with myself for not visiting Dolmabahce Palace before, it was very impressive... It was very beautiful, I was very emotional to see the room where Mustafa Kemal Pasa died. The palace is very beautiful in general, the location of the palace is very good ... who knows what lives, what tears, what happiness were lived ... I would definitely recommend those who have not been to Dolmabahce Palace to go ...

The audio tour was amazing ! Everything was in order ! Not crowded as I expected! It was a bit of hot but I understand the weather conditions . Cafe not so expensive and wc clean . In general it worths a visit!

The place ,the grandeur of the all space , the well care of the objects...all are of Aplus! We ate a veryy good sweet in the yard,near Harem . We recommend strongly to all tourists to visit such a wonder !

Incredible feeling of the palace, spent a few hours there looking at the details and decoration. Especially impressed by the chandeliers, dishes, patterned stoves and painted ceilings. The audio guide gives detailed information about each room and nuances, so it was doubly interesting. In addition to the main building, we walked around the complex, visited the harem and had tea in the cafeteria. I recommend a visit to all visitors to Istanbul and those interested in history. Would love to come back again when the restoration of the Crystal Stairs is finished

It was a great experience. We confused with our reservation dates but everything was fixed directly by the Headout team. Mr Emir helped us directly. He was in front of the central gate and he was very helpful and friendly with us.Many thanks Emir, you make our tour the best ever. We will trust Headout again

We were a little worried after reading some negative comments about these tours. But we arrived early. I had the ticket on my phone to be scanned. We easily skipped the ticket booth queue. We did not opt for the listening devices because we didn't know where they were kept. We didn't want to fight a crowd in the ticket booth. Besides, I understand you needed your cellphone active for it to work and ours were shut down. Didn't matter because all displays had info in English. The museums, and Bosphorus views were breathtaking. I would recommend to anyone. Lots of perfect photo ops outside. Pictures of any kind not allowed inside. The chickens, rosters, and partridge roaming about were a fun distraction in the gardens.

Nice experience, the building is very beautiful, picked a nice day to take nice pictures. Thanks again, all ok
