Istanbul Super Combo: Topkapi Palace + Hagia Sophia + Basilica Cistern Skip-the-Line Tickets with Audio Guide

I was very uncomfortable that I could.not open the tickets.from email ortho app. Luckily, someone responded to my email quickly when I told them I was at the venue and not allowed in. I would use again, but have the actual tickets emailed to me.

It was a beautiful place, but it was too crowded and the worst part was I had trouble accessing the ticket because I didn't realize I had two so I didn't have good WiFi for a while so we had to wait to enter while they fixed it

Unfortunately, I misread the offer and, unlike the official ticket, this one did not include a visit to St. Irene, calculating that the ticket is more expensive than the official entrance ticket anyway! The cost of the ticket is, regardless, overpriced compared to what is offered, but this is a criticism for all the tourist attractions offered, apart from the Basilica Cisterna which is worth them all!

Simple, quick and efficient booking. Very useful to be able to avoid the queue to visit Topkapi Palace, which is well worth the detour.

We made a combined booking with Fastlane. For Hagia Sophia and Cisterna Basilica, the tickets we sent were immediately our valid tickets. Worked perfectly. Both sights were very beautiful and interesting. At Hagia Sophia, as a non-Muslim you "only" get to the first level and can look down into the whole mosque. Also very impressive, but not really explained beforehand. At the Topkapi Palace there was only one reservation in the mailing, which is easy to overlook, and we only noticed in front of gate 2 (where you need real tickets). We then had to go back to an agency outside Gate 1 so that we could finally get in with a tour lady. It worked but with a certain loss of time. The palace itself was huge and very beautiful. Be sure to book a ticket with harem access (as we had), this part is the highlight of the palace. All in all, a great day with lots of wonderful impressions.

ticket and skip-the-line was working. overall both venues very crowded but thats obviously due to the holiday week. We where diappointed that the Museum of Hagia Sofia was NOT included in an already expensive ticket. We thought this was part of knowing more about the place but where turned away at the door.

We showed up 30 minutes ahead of an appointed time and greeter tried to get us to pay more and go immediately with a guide instead of waiting 30 minutes. We said no, we would wait. He didn't tell us we had to get a vocher from the kiosk for our online ticket and we only found out when we got to the palace gate with the guide and she started collecting them. She had to work hold everyone up and had to make numerous telephone calls in order to verify our online tickets. She did a good job. Second, it was a crazy day with Eid. There were many many people. The skip the line line was so long and people just buying tickets were cutting in line and the palace was not stopping them.

Nosotros compramos el combo Santa Sofía basílica cisterna y palacio Topkapi tanto para la basílica cisterna como para Santa Sofía no es necesario hacer nada más que llevar tu entrada impresa para el palacio de Topkapi. Justo en la entrada hay un café donde unos chicos te acompañan porque para entrar en Topkapi, necesitas ir en grupo si llegas pronto a Topkapi maravilloso si no se pone muchísima gente la verdad es que ha funcionado perfecto

Entrance to Hagia Sophia and Cistern Basilica, no problems. In palace, guide only in English, instructions to find the meeting point very confusing. You need to have internet for access.

Found the ticket collection place easily..the tickets are quite expensive re entry into Hagia Sophia even with a ticket we had to wait in line and could not skip the queue.

ticketing was not a good part. It took a while to find the office, signage at the entrance needs to be clearer. We had to surrender the audio at the harem entrance although we'd paid for audio guide. But then the visit was splendid, the treasures, the fabrics, the table ware were just marvelous. Very fine buildings and gardens. We liked the section with memorabilia of the Prophet with the reading of the Holy Quran going as we toured the rooms.

I recommend visiting it but I think the price is a bit high because there are many more mosques and monuments to visit, but you can not leave stambul without visiting it.

We really liked the Basilica Cistern and recommend visiting it. Hagia Sophia is beautiful, but the problem for foreigners is that if you are not a Muslim or a Turkish citizen, you cannot enter the first floor😕

Having bought the tickets in advance, we didn't wait in line at all. We walked right past dozens of people. The tour was magnificent!!! Not very long but very beautiful to see. Definitely worth a visit to Basilica Cisterne!!!! I highly recommend it!!!!

I went to queue at the gate of Topkapi palace to be told that I needed a printed ticket to enter and could not use the QR code of my online réservation mail. I had de go back to Topkapi café to request for the assistance of a guide to skip the queue. The guide was very professional and very helpful

A large palace with several courtyards, I think it deserves to be visited several times or over a whole day. Generally speaking, I found the entrance fees for monuments in Istanbul to be very high (Topkapi Palace, Galata Tower, Basilica Cistern and Sofia Mosque (which we didn't visit because of the 50-60€ entrance fee...). Maybe it's due to the current inflation in Turkey. In any case, my friends and I were quite shocked by the prices. Having lived in Paris for years, even the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Château de Versailles are much cheaper. For example, the price of unlimited access for 1 year to the Versailles estate + queue-cutting access to the château and other advantages is equivalent to the price of a single entry to the Topkapi Palace... hence my surprise.

I think it's a rip-off. What you pay does not complement what it is. It is a money grab for the tourist.

Very easy to get tickets, fabulous building.

Worked out well. Great palace! Only the audio guide is not so functional.

Fantastic skip-the-lane experience. I could save lots of time.
