The tour to the Hagia Sofia and Blue mosque and Bascillica Cistern were great. The Bosphorus ferry was a total mess.very disorganized and way too much walking. Why can't you limit the size of the group. The tour guide couldnt control such a large group. No one could hear him. No one knew they had to go to the online desk to get a cruise ticket. People were just running wildly to try to keep up with him. Very unruly. That's the reason we gave an average rating.

The tour to the Istanbul Cistern, Hagia Sofia and also to the Blue Mosque were without an audio guide. The guide was not understandable in groups of over 30 people. It would be wrong to call this a guided tour. It was not good and there was no information about the points. There were audio guides at Topkai Palace. Here the guide was easy to understand as the rooms are often narrow and cramped.

The 3 guides for Topkapi, Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet Mosque, Sunken Palace were excellent: there was helpful information and comments that are not in the guidebook and they were very helpful!

Revel in hassle-free access to the top attractions of Istanbul! This super-saver ticket is valid for three days and grants you access to each site once!

Hagia Sophia

Originally a church that was later converted into a mosque during the Ottoman Empire, and finally, a museum, enter the Hagia Sophia, the meeting point of two major religions of the world. From the beautiful galleries to Ottoman Tombs, witness the showcase of a unique history in an alluring way.

Topkapi Palace

Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985, and home to the Ottoman Sultans for over 400 years, the Topkapi Palace has several courtyards, pavilions, and gardens to explore. Get a feel of the local legends, myths, and stories about the palace. Spot the harem and exit the attraction with the feeling of understanding Istanbul better!

Basicilia Cistern

'From Russia With Love' and 'Inferno'- do any of these ring a bell? The Basicilia Cistern has always been a part of popular culture that was built during the reign of Justinian I. This structure is a paragon of 6th-century Byzantine architecture. As you enter this colossal marvel, a dim golden hue that glistens off the surface of the water will welcome you. The Medusa column bases, located in the northwest portion of the Cistern are an absolutely mesmerizing sight. Hear about the mysterious origin of the two stone heads oriented sideways from your guide.

Bosphorus Cruise

Sail along the beautiful Bosphorus Waterway for 90 mins. Board your cruise at Dentur Avrasya Kabatas, and a marine officer will welcome you at the pier. Onboard, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, and soak in the phenomenal views of the city. Spot the impressive Hagià Sophia domes, the Galata Tower that soars over the entire city, and the legendary Bosphorus Bridge, which is known to connect Europe and Asia.
