Our guide Daphne was awesome! She knew her history of the Palace, she had a Gsoh to, loved the 1 hour tour with her😊

We enjoyed both the Skip-the-Line-Tickets and touring the ancient Basilica Cistern.
Basillica Cistern is a must-visit place for anyone who visits Istanbul.

We made a combined booking with Fastlane. For Hagia Sophia and Cisterna Basilica, the tickets we sent were immediately our valid tickets. Worked perfectly. Both sights were very beautiful and interesting. At Hagia Sophia, as a non-Muslim you "only" get to the first level and can look down into the whole mosque. Also very impressive, but not really explained beforehand.
At the Topkapi Palace there was only one reservation in the mailing, which is easy to overlook, and we only noticed in front of gate 2 (where you need real tickets). We then had to go back to an agency outside Gate 1 so that we could finally get in with a tour lady. It worked but with a certain loss of time.
The palace itself was huge and very beautiful. Be sure to book a ticket with harem access (as we had), this part is the highlight of the palace.
All in all, a great day with lots of wonderful impressions.

The guide was very knowledgeable and nice. We didn't have to stay in line and that was a relief as there were hundreds of people waiting.
I would definitely recommend and do it again.

Our guide, Mehmet, was exceptional—both insightful and incredibly knowledgeable. His deep understanding of the history, culture, and local stories made the entire experience unforgettable. What stood out even more was his excellent English, which made the tour engaging and easy to follow. We noticed other tour groups struggling due to language barriers, but Mehmet’s clear communication and thoughtful explanations ensured that we didn’t miss a single detail. His professionalism and passion for sharing his knowledge truly set him apart and made our tour one to remember.

Ali is a pleasant and generous guide. We regretted not having individual headphones to hear him better.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a good humor. We had a good time and the Harem part of the tour was definitely worth it. We had no problems with the ticket and we received clear information about the meeting point. I recommend booking this tour.

The guide offers us a lot of information.
Unfortunately, my audio headset doesn’t work.
It was a nice experience.
