We visited the Basilica Cistern on September 26, 2026. It was wonderful to have the flexibility to choose our visiting time after 9:00 AM. The waiting queue was extremely long, but we managed to exchange our online reservation for paper entrance tickets through a guide standing nearby. While it was a little tricky to spot the guide at first, it was totally worth it—we got to skip the massive line and head right inside. The Basilica Cistern is truly a must-visit when you are in Istanbul!

The cruise was very reasonably priced and offered excellent value for money. We were able to enjoy stunning views of the Bosphorus while leisurely passing by many of Istanbul’s famous landmarks. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the relaxed pace made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to admire Istanbul from the water!

Esperienza bellissima! La Cisterna è davvero fantastica e la consiglio a chiunque visiti la città: ha un'atmosfera incredibile. La crociera sul Bosforo era un po' affollata, ma ne è valsa assolutamente la pena perché il giro al tramonto è stato a dir poco stupendo e regalava una vista pazzesca

Basilica cistern was really cool, underwater cave earthy vibes with water and turquoise and mirrored vibes, and then topkapi palace with endless exploration and history. I also woke up late accidentally but had the flexibility with the audio guides. Great day!

Bilet kupiony w aplikacji. Pomogło to przy szybszym wejściu. Jednak osoba, która miała pomóc podczas wejścia nie była łatwa do znalezienia. Po wyjściu nie widać było już tej osoby. Ciekawe jak inni mieli wejść mając bilet z szybkim wejściem ?

L'ingresso è stato molto caotico. Ai tornelli c'era una ragazza che parlava solo turco e che ci ha fatto perdere un sacco di tempo. Poi quando abbiamo individuato la persona giusta siamo riusciti ad entrare. Non è tanto il vostro servizio, ma il fatto che il personale di assistenza non parli inglese. In mezzo alla bolgia è difficile poi.

The site was great but not fully as advertised since we did not receive the audio guides. More information would have been appreciated.
