Visiting Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern, and Topkapi Palace with a combo ticket was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff at each site were incredibly helpful and attentive, making the visit smooth and enjoyable. Each place is stunning in its own way, and together they tell an extraordinary story of Istanbul’s layered history. The architecture, atmosphere, and historical depth were absolutely breathtaking—these landmarks truly bring history to life. A must-do experience when visiting the city.

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

Ich war Sprachlos ab dem Momnet als ich die Cysterne betreten habe. Einfach unglaublich was damals schon geleistet wurde. Der Besuch stand ganz oben auf meiner Bucketlist und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht.

È stata una rappresentazione del Sema. 4 Musicisti e 4 Dervisci rotanti. Per chi non ha mai assistito ad un Sema è un buon approccio anche perché c'è una breve presentazione che anticipa la cerimonia.

A compra dos ingressos foi muito fácil. Mas não tinha áudio guia em português. Mas dentro da Basílica, há QR codes com áudio guia em Português-BR

Bellissimi monumenti e ben tenuti, peccato la troppa folla e l'audio guida con il proprio cellulare. Ma bella esperienza

Whirling Dervish

Step into a serene 550-year-old cultural venue in the heart of Sultanahmet to witness the mesmerizing Mevlevi Sema ceremony, performed by the Whirling Dervishes. This spiritual performance, recognized by UNESCO, is rooted in the teachings of Rumi and offers a deeply moving insight into Sufi mysticism. As the dervishes whirl in flowing white robes, accompanied by traditional instruments like the ney (reed flute) and kudüm (drum), feel a sense of stillness and connection. The meditative atmosphere invites you to reflect on the themes of unity, love, and devotion that define this centuries-old practice.

Basilica Cistern

Discover one of Istanbul’s most intriguing historical sites with fast-track access to the Basilica Cistern, a subterranean marvel built in the 6th century during Emperor Justinian’s reign. Skip the long queues and step straight into this atmospheric structure, supported by hundreds of ancient columns and mysterious Medusa heads that capture the imagination.The included audio guide app, available in multiple languages, provides fascinating insights into the cistern’s engineering feats and its vital role in the ancient city’s water supply system. Explore at your own pace as you walk over wooden platforms suspended above still waters, soaking in the dimly lit, almost cinematic ambience.
