    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 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.

    Access was really quick and easy, thanks to the advance reservation made through Headout. Unfortunately, some structural elements inside have been secured with metal supports. It’s a real shame, but we hope it will be restored to its former state for the public.

    Although there was a lot of construction going on and we almost didn't go because of it, we were very glad we did go and especially glad we got skip the line tickets. Very beautiful and worth it.

    The palace was amazing and it was very easy to purchase our tickets ahead of time. Although I accidentally purchased tickets for the wrong day, the staff were able to figure it out so we could visit the palace anyway.

    Visiting Dolmabahçe Palace was a wonderful experience, with its majestic grandeur, numerous rooms, enormous and beautifully furnished halls, and sumptuous reception rooms. The gardens are well-maintained, and the view of the Bosphorus is breathtaking—the perfect spot for taking truly stunning photos. In short, it’s a must-see; the price is admittedly a bit high, but it’s well worth it.

    We were able to enter the Palace without waiting in line, thanks to clear directions, which made the visit much more comfortable, and we received a discount on admission to the Harem.

    The Cistern was very well organized. Entry was quick and seamless. It was not crowded at all during the night shift. The Cistern was also absolutely spectacular and well worth the cost of entry. Headout made it easy to purchase night shift tickets will in advance.
