    That was nice. The employee on the quay who welcomed us was very friendly and helpful. Also the service on board. We only have bad memories of the chairs on the outside deck. Very hard and uncomfortable...

    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.

    First, the ease of managing the reservation; second, the friendliness of the staff; and the show itself, which with its music and dervishes encourages you to delve deeper into this experience and seek more information about its meaning.
