Very nice visit of the Cistern. It is not very clear where to meet the guide and then we walk back to the original gate.

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.

Our cruise was at night and with dinner included. The cruise was very nice - I wss worried I would get seasick but the boat was steady enough. I only wish there was some information or a self guide about the places that we could see outside the window.
The dinner was good with a couple of chices for the main course, although, none vegetarian ones. The one thing that was not quite okay wss the price of the beverage - a glass of wine cost 500 TRy!!! And intially we weren't advised of those. And when we asked for the bill we were told it was 400 TRY, so we had to bargain for that price to be applied - which is still a lot!!
Everything else, including the program, was very nice and enjoyable!

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.

Booking was easy and secure. The event information was very clear and specific. When we arrived at the venue everything was perfect as well. The event was wonderful, well organized and unique. I would recommend using Headout for similar experiences.

The experience has been great. Arriving with the tickets already bought saves you a lot of queues, the Turkish bath is one of the best things I chose to do on this tour, the Cistern Basilica is beautiful, everything is very well done.

We were at the palace as soon as it opened and there were already a lot of people. The gardens were beautiful as well as the ceremonial halls where high-ranking guests were received and the crystal staircase. Many rooms looked a bit the same and were dark and dusty. The corridors were too narrow for the many people so that there was a queue. It was also a pity that no photos were allowed inside. It was nice to have seen it once, but I would not go there a second time.

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.

It was a serene balloon ride. Not too much rush. The pick-up and drop was flawless.
The only problem was the breakfast, it never reached our table. We were waiting for someone to serve and many people instead were taking twice

I would definitely recommend the Bosphorus cruise! It offers stunning views of Istanbul's iconic skyline, from the majestic palaces and historic fortresses to the charming waterfront neighborhoods. The guide's informative commentary adds depth to the experience, offering fascinating insights into the rich history and culture of the city. Plus, the cruise is generous with snacks, ensuring you stay refreshed as you take in the breathtaking scenery. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a local, this cruise is a must-do for anyone wanting to truly experience the beauty of Istanbul.

We enjoyed the Panoramic view of the city from this ancient tower. Ticketing was simple. Did not realize the elevator does not go all the way to the top. It is necessary to climb two flights of stairs to get from the top of the elevator too the top viewing area outside the tower. Two of our party had mobility issues and were unable to climb the stairs, So they could only enjoy the views from inside the tower through windows.
