Combo (Save 13%): Basilica Cistern + Hagia Sophia Skip-the-Line Tickets

done off-season, it works as a line skip , probably makes more sense in high season. The "guide" drops you off at the entrance to the Harem, then it's free from there. Topkapi Palace is really big to visit completely. 3 hours minimum

Amazing experience! And with the headout tickets purchased online, a seamless and efficient entry into both the hagia sophia and cistern.

Overall it was worth it thanks to the "skip the line" at the Cistern Basilica and the escort inside the Topkapi Palace. For the St. Sophia basilica, unfortunately, the queue was for security checks (40') for which the "skip the line" option was not provided, as, moreover, indicated beforehand. Overall, the judgment is positive.

well organized and interesting audio guides for the Cistern and St Sophia. On the other hand, the audio guide is confusing for the Tokapi Palace. On the mobile app, everything is first marked courtyard no. 1. You have to understand that you have to press 1 to scroll down. What's more, the battery on our cell phones means we can't listen to the whole audio guide.

Hagia Sophia is one of the wonders of the world, for me. It has so much history and has played such a vital role for two great empires. A must for anyone interested in history.

Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The lady at the ticket line helped us get set up with our audio tours quickly and efficiently. The cistern itself was incredible

The line was so big and how I bought the tickets before it was so easy to get in without line. The place is amazing and the audio guide was excellent.

My hotel was very centrally located - less than a 5-minute walk from the major tourist attractions - and thus very nice to do everything on foot. The Hagia Sofia is enduring evidence of the vast civilization that the former Constantinople carried with it; for that reason alone it is important to visit this structure

The ticket pickup point is very far from the Topkapi Palace ticket counter - give yourselves time to get there! It is a timed entrance. We had to hurry through Topkapi in order to make it to the others. Seeing these 3 things in one day may be too much. If we had to do it over, we'd buy tickets to each venue separately and only visit Topkapi in one day.

We have never been in a cistern before, it was very interesting. We purchased an audio guide to learn about the history and Medusla. It was great.

What I didn't like is that we got the guide in Spanish and it was only available in English. The audio guides do not work well. The rest was fine.

It's all quick and easy, as long as you download the app! As for the Basilica of Saint Sophia, it's grandiose but very poorly maintained, which is a real shame. Expensive ticket for the condition. As for the basilica cistern, it's my favorite! I recommend the service.

Due to rain and storm, we could not finish 2 visits on the booked date. The day after we could use our tickets for the palace and for the cistern without problems. Very ok of course. This is as it should be with a reliable provider. A 5 star experience. We recommend this!

Nice 'Skip the Line' facilties, once we found the right place. Somewhat more specific directions, especially for Topkapi Palace I.e. Next to the main gate, would have been extremely helpful. We came in a side entrance and had to ask 5 separate people for help

The "ste Sophie, Topkapi, basilica cistern" combo is a must for anyone visiting Istanbul. Handy if you have an Internet connection, otherwise a bit complicated. Wire-cutting is relative. It's best to visit in the morning, as it's more crowded in the afternoon. For Topkapi, you have to wait for a guide (even if you're on your own) to pass the 2 controls (main entrance then harem), otherwise you'll be turned away (which is what happened to us 😉). Allow 1/2 day for the palace, it's very big and very beautiful.

It was fast, in-no-time entry, the place is a must-visit attraction of the city as it's absolutely unique. We were amazed by the architecture, engineering and atmosphere of the place and definitely recommend it!

The cistern is a treasure! We loved the haphazard placement and stacking of column sections to hold the ceiling. The brickwork was amazing, the lighting was fun as were the modern sculptures. We especially loved the column bases that were heads - one upside down and one sideways. And the Medusa sculpture and shadow perfectly projected on the wall. The skip the line process was simple and saved a tremendous amount of time standing in line. Well worth it!

Arriving and seeing that there is a very long line, but you have the electronic ticket skip the line and get in without waiting a minute is important especially when you have a few days and want to see as many things as possible. Reliable service.

The tickets for the basilica cistern and hagia sophia without queues were incredible. The system for the Topkapi Palace, bad. They could send the QR like the other 2 attractions.

The ticket cutter was very effective. Friendly staff. Concerning Saint Sophia, disappointed by the maintenance of this beautiful world heritage site at the price of admission! As for the Cistern Basilica, a very nice discovery, well presented. The audio guides were satisfactory for a first immersion.
