    Purchased this for skip the line entry at Hagia Sophia and Topkapi where lines were surprisingly really long. The tour guide Hal was great at Hagia Sophia and we could explore the mosque at our own pace inside. Topkapi offers free audio guides and tour covers only a part of the palace. Group size was quite large 25-30 people so we used audio headsets that didn't function very well. Recommend for Hagia Sophia, but recommend self paced tour of Topkapi - there's a lot to see there but the information museum provides is good you can manage on your own.

    All was good. Our guide Haluk was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our experience of hagia sophia but we thought he will take us to topkapi palace also. But there was another guide for the palace.

    Breathtaking architecture and design at all of these buildings full of history. Our guide Huseyin was very knowledgeable and friendly. So worth it to skip the loooong lines waiting to get into each of these locations.

    I booked Combo: Hagia Sophia Guided Tour with Topkapi Palace and Basilica Cistern Skip-the-Line Tickets. I faced issues with the support team, the agent talking to me was unpleasant, I was told that combo tour was impossible to organize in 1 day , while this was not mentioned when I bought the ticket online. They barely managed to make a plan for me to use all the tickets in one day. Finally, it was possible to see everything in 1 day, I was not accompanied by a guide on one of their tours (Basilica Cistern). You need more proper management and more information on your website.
