Istanbul is an amazing city. So much to experience you get sensation overload! The Cistern is breathtaking and I wouldn't miss going to experience this. Lineups are quick and efficient so don't let that dissuade you. Haigia Sofia is beautiful however please note the audio tour is confusing. The flow of walking through does not align with how each landmark is noted in audio. I would get the audio ready and simply listen to each station as you approach it.

When we arrived at Basilica there was a really long queue... I'm very impatient so I decided to check if there is a fast track and we bought it. We skipped the line very fast, in 4 minutes we were inside basilica cistern. It was amazing! Beautiful, good audio guide. The most important fact is that a minute after we entered the rain started, so if we were in the line we wouldn't make it, so I really reccomend this fast track.

Départ à l heure 90 minutes de croisière respectées Gentillesse du personnel qui nous a laissé passer sans problème, alors que j avais un problème de connexion internet et je ne pouvais pas lui fournir les e-billets Possibilité de descendre côté Galata au retour, ce qui nous a permis de visiter le marché aux poissons et d y manger Seul bémol, j avais payer pour 3 audio guides, je n ai rien eu, dommage

Walk through the quiet underground of the Basilica Cistern and see ancient columns and Greek mythology’s infamous Medusa heads.

Enjoy a relaxing 90-minute cruise along the Bosphorus strait with views of the Dolmabahce palace, Ortakoy Mosque, Galata Tower, and the Bosphorus bridges.

Skip entry lines at both landmarks, and use the 5+ language audio guide to learn interesting facts and stories as you explore.

It was amazing, the audioguide as well as the views were amazing. It was raining, and going straight in, without waiting any line was a blessing. The basilica is also a really centric place, so you can easily move to any other historic building. 100% recommended

La cisterna è bellissima e bisogna assolutamente visitarla. Santa Sofia un po' deludente. Per l'ingresso a Santa Sofia abbiamo avuto seri problemi con il voucher inviato dalla compagnia perché non era quello richiesto all'ingresso. Dopo mezz'ora di discussione all'ingresso abbiamo capito di dover richiedere l'emissione di un nuovo voucher, poi arrivato, che ci ha permesso di entrare. Fare attenzione a questo aspetto. Nessun problema, invece per l'ingresso alla cisterna

Ces trois monuments valent vraiment la peine d'être visités. Cependant, pour le prix payé, je m'attendais à un audioguide nettement plus détaillé, en particulier pour le palais Topkapi, où il n'y a aucun audioguide pour le harem. De plus, en novembre, il n'y avait pas vraiment la nécessité de billets coupe-file, nous aurions mieux fair de prendre mes billets sur place. Le guide de Sainte Sophie est par contre très complet.

Cover the undergrounds and the waters of Istanbul with a single combo ticket that grants you skip-the-line access at both locations, and multilingual audio guides.

Getting started

Have your tickets ready—either printed or on your device—and make sure to download the audio guides in advance. Wear a light jacket, comfortable shoes, and bring water bottles as both experiences involve walking around.

Basilica Cistern

Spend some time walking into Istanbul’s underground world with skip-the-line entry amidst its stone columns, reused from Roman temples. Look out for the iconic Medusa heads tucked away at the far end and learn their mythological significance from your audio guide.

Bosphorus sightseeing cruise

Explore the highlights between Europe and Asia on a 90-minute cruise along the Bosphorus Strait. Skip the lines at the pier, meet your marine officer, and head straight to the upper deck for the best views of Istanbul’s iconic landmarks—including Dolmabahce Palace, Ortakoy Mosque, Galata Tower, and the Bosphorus bridges.
