Mi visita con Headout al Palacio de Topkapi fue una experiencia excelente. Todo estuvo muy bien organizado desde el principio: la reserva fue sencilla y clara, y al llegar no tuvimos ningún problema. Pudimos entrar sin complicaciones y aprovechar al máximo el tiempo. El lugar es impresionante, pero gracias a la buena organización pudimos disfrutarlo con calma y sin estrés. Sin duda, una experiencia muy recomendable.

Absolutely stunning place, the guide (his name was Suat I believe) was professional, knowledgeable and he was speaking in a very interesting manner. He took good care of the group on an extremely crowded day. Sometimes the signal of the receiver was not so great, but overall it was a great experience and it was worth to buy 'skip the line' option. Thank you!

Hal was our guide at Topkapi and he was excellent. He was very informative and engaging and gave us lots of interesting facts and anecdotes about Topkapi, its history and the lives of those who lived there. He made the whole tour very memorable.

It was very good, and almost everything was perfect. The only thing was that the guide was very quick in Harem, and we were really interested in looking at the different rooms, and most of the time were running to find where he was. Totally udnerstand that people can start taking pictures and it can continue forever, which was not the case for. us, but a bit more time to actually be able to look at rooms would be much better. Like to be able to listen to the story that was being told and the room where he was

The group was too big which meant the audio kept cutting out if you weren't at the front of the group with the guide. Guide was not as good as I expected. Just going through the motions and not that interesting.
