We visited the Basilica Cistern on September 26, 2026. It was wonderful to have the flexibility to choose our visiting time after 9:00 AM. The waiting queue was extremely long, but we managed to exchange our online reservation for paper entrance tickets through a guide standing nearby. While it was a little tricky to spot the guide at first, it was totally worth it—we got to skip the massive line and head right inside. The Basilica Cistern is truly a must-visit when you are in Istanbul!

A very educational guide for a full tour (palace + harem). 1.5 hours guided, followed by 1 hour of wandering around on our own; it was perfect.

The Bosphorus night cruise was an outstanding experience and without a doubt one of the best activities we did in Istanbul. The views of the illuminated skyline, historic palaces, waterfront mansions, and the Bosphorus bridges were absolutely breathtaking. The staff was attentive and professional, the entertainment was lively and engaging, and the entire evening was well organized from start to finish. The dinner was enjoyable, and the atmosphere on board made the experience truly special. I strongly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul—it is a must-do experience that offers unforgettable views, great entertainment, and excellent value for money.

After the purchase, I received an email with detailed instructions in Spanish about where they were waiting for us at a specific point. They helped us with the QR code to download the entire history of the tower. The 360-degree views of the entire city are beautiful. I had read that it was not necessary to visit, but for me, it was 100% worth it. It was a great farewell to Istanbul.

Our guide Husain was lovely, he genuinely seemed excited about what he was showing us, the highlight for me was the basilica cistern, unfortunately the Hagia Sophia was under construction.
