    This skip-the-line ticket with an audio guide to Galata Tower was absolutely worth it! The audio guide was packed with fascinating history and fun facts. The panoramic views of Istanbul from the top were breathtaking! A must-do experience for anyone visiting the city. Highly recommended!

    We had a great view over Istanbul. The small informative descent in the tower is also great. Unfortunately, there are no toilets on site
