Galata Tower Tickets

We had Buraq as our guide and he was amazing. He is a very knowledgable and energetic person who goes into the details of history while also speaking about contemporary events. We had a lovely experience. I would recommend this trip with a guide. Without a guide, the experience is just spaghetti without sauce.

We bought the tickets online stanfing near the Galata tower and instantly proceeded to the entry point. Fast & convenient, no need for currency exchange

The pre-loaded audio was excellent and saved me around £8 extra buying earphones from the kiosk. The description leading up to the tower was great to listen to whilst in the queue. I would have liked the audio to tell me which window to look out of to see each of the historical sites below. Just saying "look north" meant nothing to me. So I had to walk around trying to find them.

I'm impressed how easy it was to find pick up points, how welcoming were all the guides and how exiting were the stories they told us.

The Welcome Card we took from Headout was most helpful. The guided tours were really good. Our guide, Mr. Hakan was really nice and would explain everything in details and answer all our questions. The card had free rides on all public transport and also entries to a lot of places so we didn't have to stand in queues anywhere. It also included, hop on hop off Bosphorus Cruise. I highly recommend to buy this card before visiting Istanbul.
