The skip the line ticket for the Bascilica Cistern was definitely worth it! We basically walked right in past a long line of people waiting to buy tickets on site. I would recommend taking a screenshot of the ticket barcodes in case your WiFi is iffy. The cistern itself was beautiful and the audio guide gave us plenty of interesting facts about its history.

Very cool to see Roman history so well preserved. A must see when visiting Istanbul. Entrance is easy to miss. Not mobility friendly. Watch out for people that say they work there and are overly helpful. They will direct you to a carpet shop after your visit and try to hard sell you.

Accesso alla Basilica velocissimo grazie al biglietto salta la fila fatto von Headout. La fila era lunghissima, ma mio siamo entrati su una corsia laterale dedicata a prenotazioni on Line. Grazie Headout, grazie !!

We entered quickly, the line for previously bought tickets is much shorter than the regular line, so it's worth it. The place is very interesting to see. I recommend visiting.

We really appreciated not having to wait in line at all, and it was very easy to buy the tickets ahead of time! I will definitely use Headout again in the future.

The entry was quite simple. The cistern is spectacular. But we didn't use the audio guide! We didn't have the possibility to download it before enter and inside it was impossible to connect to wifi or mobile data.

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.

La gestión con Headout es tremendamente mala. No hay manera de contactar tras habernos enviado erróneamente las entradas que no funcionaban. La torre de galata es mentira que te saltas la cola. Solo hay una! Así que por ese lado, las ventajas que ofrece no son ni verdaderas. El palacio, solo merece la pena el Harem para tener el acceso, pero tampoco está bien explicado cómo hacerlo. Te envían a una ubicación y ya. Mi valoración es muy negativa con esta empresa y NO LA RECOMIENDO

Erst nach langer Wartezeit und der tollen Unterstützung des Personals in der Hagia Sofia bekam ich vom support team den ausstehende Code fūr den Eintritt dieser bemerkenswerten Moschee. Ich hatte die Kombitickts schon 2 Tage vorher online gebucht. Da ich nur 1 Tag in Istanbul zur Verfügung hatte,war das sehr ärgerlich. Den Code für den versunkenen Palast erhielt ich rechtzeitig. Beide Sehenswürdigkeiten waren großartig und der Besuch hat sich trotz Verzögerung gelohnt FC es

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.

Ensure your device has Android version 10 or later to use the audio guide.

Arrive early in the morning or visit in the evening to avoid crowds from cruise ship tours.

Bosphorus cruise

The cruise departs near tram line no. 1 and the funicular, just steps from Dolmabahce Palace. Look for the Istanbul Welcome Card ticket window behind the red petrol station.

The Bosphorus cruise boats depart every hour. Arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes early to avoid rushing and settle in comfortably.

Ensure your device has Android 10 or later and download the audio guide before arriving at the Bosphorus pier to save time.

For the best views, head to the upper deck for an unobstructed look at Istanbul’s landmarks.

Early mornings or late afternoons provide the best lighting for photos along the Bosphorus.
