Combo (Save 8%): Basilica Cistern Tickets + Istanbul Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Head out tickets definitely helped to move in quicker... The Cistern is superb. It does have stairs and no lift. Once down there it's all flat and imposing and amazing. Been to Istanbul 3 times not sure why I haven't been in here but it sure was worth it!!!

Visiting the Basilica Cistern is like stepping into a level of Assassin's Creed, where history and mystery meet in a subterranean labyrinth. Just as the game brings ancient cities to life, the cistern offers a palpable sense of Istanbul's storied past. It's a must-see for anyone who wants to dive deep into the city's heritage, much like a gamer loves to explore every corner of a meticulously crafted virtual world.

Basilika Cistern was fascinating. The skip the line ticket was super, we really didn't have to go through the long queue.

The cistern experience was absolutely superb and a bonus was the sculpture art installations set among the marble columns. A must visit when you visit Istanbul.

Me and my wife had a wonderful experience at Basilica Cistern Istanbul. It's our first time using Headout - everything was just perfect - from the reservation and information provided to the skipping the line. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed it very much. A tremendous experience and fascination with this facility, it made an incredible impression on me. The engineering solutions for those times are overwhelmingly impressive. Regarding the entrance to the site after purchasing a ticket through the application, it occurred smoothly without any problems. I recommend visiting this magnificent historical facility.🙂

I loved the otherworldliness of the Cistern. The lights and the contemporary art was a lovely addition. The skip the queue line was so quick and easy. Our guide was able to get in for free and explain everything to us too. A great experience!

Very fast entry and the auto guide is easy to set up and operate and provides interesting information as you walk through the Cistern.

I loved cutting the line with online tickets! The atmosphere in the cistern was super awesome, the vibe fit it perfectly - a mystical place created by ancient civilizations. Loved it!

It was great not to have stood in the hot sun in the que. The only thing I can suggest is a better system with security communication as I got stopped at the end with no entry as they didnt believe I was scanned for the ticket. However, it was sorted and I walked straight in. Well done!

The experience was unique. I would simply say that it is a fascinating experience and I would recommend it to everyone. I am impressed

Attractive building, changing lights every time adds to the aesthetic impression. Tickets are easy to get, using fast track facilities, fast and smooth payment.

Very fast entrance no vaiting in the line, excelance organizaid. Badilica Cisterna was one of my favorite place in Istanbul, something like this you cant see eniwhere alse. For sure we are comming back

Our skip-the-line tickets to the Basilica Cistern in Istanbul were great. They saved us from waiting in a fairly lengthy line and gave us access to a very cool and interesting site.

Getting out tickets was quick and easy, as was getting into the attraction. The attraction was so beautiful, but was strangely ruined by the amount of people pouring down into the walkways. It was hard to see or experience the reverence of the Cistern with the amount of people crowding nearby in groups and in the tight spaces. I would recommend that there are special times for the big tour groups only, and different times for individuals so the big clusters of groups don't push into the individuals who are trying to experience the place more peacefully. I would like to return to see this place when it's more peaceful and less crowded. Thank you for the good work, it's an incredible exhibit of history and culture.

I bought tickets in front of Istanbul's Basilica cistern while looking at the que that was 200 meters long. Entered in 3 minutes. Worth the money!

Ticketing experience wasn't easy online, it was asking me to download the app to retrieve the tickets, which I didn't want to do. Skipping the queue was simple.

Thia was a great experience, tried to do it two years ago but it was closed for repairs , but managed to get to see a magnificent like temple to the engineers of the past , a must go and see , you will be amazed , book on line as the ques are long , enjoy the experience

It took me only 15min from buying the online ticket outside the Basilica Cistern, to me entering it!! Very happy about it! I downloaded the app.

Maravillosa experiencia conocer Turquia y todas las mezquitas, lugares historios, ciudades. Tanto por ver y conocer. Maravilloso pais! Volvere!
