The Welcome Card we took from Headout was most helpful. The guided tours were really good. Our guide, Mr. Hakan was really nice and would explain everything in details and answer all our questions. The card had free rides on all public transport and also entries to a lot of places so we didn't have to stand in queues anywhere. It also included, hop on hop off Bosphorus Cruise. I highly recommend to buy this card before visiting Istanbul.
