We booked last minute and were still able to see everything we wanted to. Ticketing was straightforward. The Topkapi Palace tour was what we hoped for: descriptive, informative, and quick so we could go exploring on our own. Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cisterns were amazing to witness. Thank you for helping to make this a good experience.

It's worth choosing this ticket, we got in very quickly. A man was waiting for us at a booth to show us our ticket and a few minutes later we were on our way in with the team. We were taken to the Hare after which we were free to explore. You were in Topkapi as long as you wanted. It's a very nice place. Just like in Suleiman, the locations were the same. It's a beautiful place. The only thing that bothered me was that there were not many windows open in the Harem, so it was dark inside and you couldn't get good shots. But I enjoyed every minute of it, I really wanted to go there. If you can, you should go too. You can really be the Sultan of Hürrem here.

Awesome experience. We went to Hagia Sofia at about 11 am . The line with online tickets was also long but with our tickets we got to get in very fast and smooth . At basilica , again the line was more then one hour wait , but with our skip the line tickets , we went inside in like 5 mins , the gate keeper stopped everyone and let us go in first, as they were skip the line tickets. Very smooth process of booking and having the app on phone was very helpful and fast.

Everything went smooth, from entrance to finish! A little bit complicated until I discovered how to download the audio guide.

It was worth seeing it. Luckily we had bought a skip the line ticket so we didn't have to queue. The space inside was overwhelming and the colour gradations on the artworks beautiful.

I loved the harem and the beauty of the mosaics, as well as the gardens and the presentation of costumes and crockery!

The Topkapi Palace is extraordinary, for a history buff it's something breathtaking, and the fact that we had a guide and didn't have to stand in queues (which are indeed endless) was a big plus. Without the app, the palace visit would probably have taken us all day. Thank you so much, it is a very helpful app! I will use it in other locations.

No problem with getting tickets where we really did avoid the queue. It had not worked previously at the Hagia Sofia so we were really happy to just walk in and out without any problems. Our audio didn't work but we read all the information inside, which was helpful.

A fairy-tale atmosphere, special architecture enhanced by works of art that subtly reveal themselves, enhancing the magic of the place

Despite the long queue, we got in straight away with the fast track tickets without queuing! It worked out great and Basilica Cisterna is absolutely worth a visit 🙏🏼

Magnificent experience. This Palace is incredible in terms of its size and richness. I highly recommend a visit. The gardens are bucolic 😍. It was very well organized, and the audio guide was very useful for getting all the information you needed.

The palace is spectacular, no doubt you have to go to see it if you go to Istanbul, yes, it is very big so visiting it takes time. We got the tickets online with Headout and it was perfect, you exchange them at the Topkapi Café and from there they take you in a group to the entrance where everyone makes the visit at their own pace.

The incredible history behind the dome is spectacular. The narration highlighting each section / segment is enlightening. The mosaic on the wall is beyond words to explain. All I could wish is for the government to maintain this piece of history for generations to come.

Self-guided tour, but with a guide for quick access, the grandeur of this palace and its position on the banks of the Bosphorus.

In my opinion, this is the must-see place in Istanbul.
It's an incredible place, with the most amazing lighting effects.
A word of advice: try to get there as early as possible to take some incredible photos and avoid the crowds.

Skipping the line was definitely worth while. Guide told us enough to guide ourselves successfully round once he'd taken us through all the gates. I prefer then to go at own pace so would not have wanted a guide once within the palace. Go as early as you can. Crowds lining up for different rooms later on.
