Our guide was a very good girl and explained the history and interesting details of the three tour stops. The combo blue mosque,santa sofia and basilica cisterna with the line-jumpers allows you to optimize your time and in about 3 hours have a good smattering of the three attractions. The only thing that could be improved is the acoustics because at times listening to the guide in the earpiece in crowded places and with a group of about 20 people becomes a bit scattershot and unclear so sometimes you miss pieces of explanation.

When I come to Istanbul, the first thing I want to do is to visit Aya Sofia. It is a beautiful, majestic cathedral with its own history. I once went to the Azan (call to prayer), the sensations were unbelievable. Earlier tourists were allowed on the first floor, this time we watched the beauty from the second floor). The queues are always long, especially on weekends, but the security system is well established, so people pass quickly.

The trip was quite nice. We didn't have to stay in a line, so we got quickly to the inside of Hahia Sophia. We spent about 30 minutes inside. Audioguides are available only after scanning QR code - it's better to be prepared with ful battery of your phone. The mosque is really beautiful and worth visiting. I recommend this tour especially that lines to the tickets kiosk can be really long.

Headout is great to use for buying tickets to ensure you skip the line, which made our experience less time consuming or rushed with waiting in line, even if there was not a big line. However, unfortunately, Hagia Sofia is not as impressive to visit as it once was, as since last year, it has been converted into a practicising mosque, so you can only go on the upper balcony.

November 1st. Beautiful weather about 65. Many people but easy to get around and lines are 15-20 minutes before 11a. Just amazing. I don't think skip the line did anything. Maybe in high season. Can get through it in 2h max.

We were extremely limited on time in Istanbul, but were determined to see Hagia Sophia. We had a flight to catch at 1:40 at IST.... we took the street train to Hagia Sophia, and had our tickets ready to go at 9am. The skip the line was worth every penny (I'm not even sure how much extra if any it was). We were able to walk right in, no wait. Come prepared and dressed appropriately- women in modest clothing (no tank tops, and you need a scarf) and men must wear pants. I got a kick out of my scarf actually matching the ceiling plaster patterns. The full walk through was very informative and the audio tour corresponded with the stops also numbered in the mosque. All in all, it took about an hour and I don't feel it was rushed or we were shortchanged on seeing anything in it. I do wish we had more time to see the museum close by though!

Visiting Hagia Sophia with skip-the-line tickets was an incredible experience. The entry process was seamless and saved us so much time compared to the long lines outside. Stepping inside was absolutely breathtaking—seeing the massive dome, the blend of Christian mosaics and Islamic calligraphy, and the scale of the architecture made it feel like walking through multiple layers of history at once. The atmosphere was powerful, especially with the natural light streaming in, and it really gave me chills thinking about all the centuries of people who have stood in the same spot. The crowds were large, but moving smoothly, and having the tickets ready made the entire visit stress-free and enjoyable. Truly one of the highlights of our trip and a place I’ll never forget.

Definintely helps, but there is some abiguity about what "skip the line" actually means. This service does not offer a fast track entrance into the Hagia Sophia, it just menas you dont have to queue to purchase tickets in a separate place and then join the queue for entrance. Having said that I would suggest that you do try and find time to visit this building - regardless of the queues to get in in, which in fairness did move reasonably quickly. It is a beautiful place. I should also say that it may be my mistake that I did not see what "skip the line" actually meant, so I am highlighting here not as a criticism, but just in case anyone else makes a similar assumption.

Getting the ticket was very easy from the web site. This allowed easy access without to much queuing. Took about 5 minutes from getting through the entrance to being inside the Hagia Sophia. Inside was everything I had expected with the sense of history hitting you as you first walk onto the balcony looking down on the main mosque floor bellow. This must have been a wonderful site all those centuries ago, and still is. I thoughrouly enjoyed my experience and would recommend to anyone interested in history.

The tickets were an efficient way to skip the line. They were better on this site than that provided onsite as a way to skip the line as we were able to get just the attraction we wanted, not an additional attraction - which was needed on other options. The process was easy and efficient and led to an experience that met and surpased our needs of this wonderful site.

We were looking forward to seeing this well known church turned into mosque and the monument was even more impressive than expected. However, the skip the line tickets we had booked did not help with skipping the line.

The guide was very knowledgeable but sometimes too much information given for too long standing in one spot. We were able to skip queue for Cistern and Hagia Sophia but not Blue Mosque so spent a long time in the queue. Good to have the half hour break before the last site. My husband lost his headset in the Blue Mosque and we were unable to go back looking for it and we thought 50€ replacement cost exorbitant. Surely an occasional loss is factored into costs and insurance

Hagia Sophia is amazing and well worth a visit, even though the tickets are a bit pricey. We went in the afternoon, a couple of hours before closing time, so we were definitely glad to be able to skip the line and devote more time to the visit. One small thing to improve: after the purchase, I've received multiple Headout mails with attachments, so I got a bit mixed about which one to show at the entrance, luckily I was able to use the wifi there (I had no internet on my phone - very common problem among EU tourists) and I was helped by Hagia Sophia staff to retrieve the correct e-mail with the actual tickets. One e-mail with all attachments would be preferable!

We were a group of four and we loved the tour. The skip-the-line option really saved us time. The tour guide’s explanations were amazing—clear and interesting. She took the time to answer all our questions and gave us plenty of time to take pictures. They provided us with an ear device so we could hear her more clearly, which was very convenient compared to other guides who speak loudly.

St. Sophia for history and architecture is unique. The headout service was great with the qrcode sent right away and later the pdfs of the tickets.

Visiting Haja Sophia was a truly exciting and unforgettable experience. The building is immediately striking in its majesty: the imposing dome, golden mosaics, and Islamic calligraphy coexist in a harmony unique in the world. It is impossible not to feel the weight of history as you walk inside - from Byzantine basilica to Ottoman mosque to museum and mosque again, every nook and cranny tells of centuries of culture and religious transformation. The atmosphere is solemn, yet welcoming, and the sense of spirituality one feels is universal, regardless of one's faith. The organization is good, the entrance well managed, and the staff courteous. I definitely recommend visiting it, perhaps early in the morning to avoid the crowds. An architectural masterpiece that leaves you breathless

It was really nice that we got to visit during one of the prayer times and saw a glimpse of what it means, with the full explanation from our guide. Be warned: you need to walk a lot, as is to be expecteeld, but I totally recommend this tour

I loved that we skipped the line. I already knew lines would be long for some of the sites and that alone made the tour worth it. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and anticipated most of our questions. There was only one criticism; the headsets used to communicate. They were uncomfortable and fell in and out of reception easily. Mostly because of the restrictions of the city, but also, I think, because of the quality of the headset. But other that that, The tour was worth the price.

It's an impressive site that still impresses me with its beauty. You can enter for free if you pray, but the security guards ask you to recite the Koran. My relatives have used this entrance. For my part, I found that the paying queue without a queue cutter was interminable. Under a blazing sun, I went to your site and took my ticket in less than 2 minutes. I then ran out as we were approaching closing time for the morning. Inside, I let my feelings carry me from one point of view to another. Everything is gigantic, and the experience gave me a great deal of peace despite the crowds. My relatives who had gone to pray were down below, and the rest of us visitors were up above. The quietude of the prayers was preserved.

The tour ran like clockwork. Our guide, Michael, was in the expected place and knowledgeably took the group to each of the three historic locations, explained their context and interesting and historical details. We were allowed our own time in each location before meeting back at an agreed place for the next stop on the tour. No real queues in the 4th week of June on a 1pm booking, but great to skip lines on this tour where possible. Apparently the rules have changes in the Hagia Sophia allowing guides to take visitors around the 2nd level which meant that Michael could explain the Christian and Muslim iconography in this exceptional 6th century building. Ticketing through Headout was easy and predictable.

At the Hagia Sophia, nothing was lent out here but you had to buy something to cover yourself and the rest of the group had to wait.

The sites are splindid, except for the blue mosque, which is not... blue. The pictures you find on the web and the ones you utuilize suggest that the interior is blue. But it is not! Moreover, the guiga gives time to the group after its speigation when you have now exited the attraction, while inside it is easy to lose it because it runs quickly to the exit. One does not even have time to take a photograph....

The guide Ali, was incredibly knowledgeable - his guiding added real depth to each of the three sights and he was able to take care of us well, preparing us for any practical arrangements e.g. dress codes, queuing, meeting places, toilets etc.. these details are important! The Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Hagia Sophia were fascinating and beautiful places to visit and worth doing with a guide lest you miss key details. I'd do the trip all over again if given the opportunity and the wonderful guide.

Pleasant tour, our guide, Ali (I unfortunately do not remember his full name), was a nice guy, knowledgeable and very helpful. We had a great time with him, the explanation given was just the right length, neither too short nor too long, and the time flew by.

The only thing I liked was skipping the queues. I do not recommend the visit at all. It is the only mosque where they charge admission and you can't go in! You can only access the second floor.

Buying tickets in advance meant I didn't have to queue on the spot (but early in the morning the queue is moderate...) Negative point: the timetables provided by Headout are both contradictory and inutally worrying: in fact you can turn up at any time at the entrance with the QR code and... that's it (there's no guide provided anyway -- except your smartphone as long as it can access the network).

I was very disappointed. It is not a museum anymore, it is just a mosque now. Hagia Sophia was wonderful museum before, a unique combination of historical and cultural heritage. Now it is just a money machine for foolish foreigners, you can not see anything because the usual visitors paying to see nothing. Before I used to love going back. I will wait to turn to museum again before visit it again.

I expected to visit the mosque completely and not seen from the 1 second floor terrace. My wife who was going back there after 27 years at Santa sofia was disappointed, she said she would not have bought tickets if this was specified before buying tickets. I can understand that the faithful pray from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. But can you make a walkway for foreigners as well because surely seen from below it has another value. Thank you

I finally got to visit the great Hagia Sophia. While getting to explore the upper level was a blessing, I don't understand why the lower level is off limits. Even the Blue Mosque is open to non-Muslims. If I had gotten to explore the lower level, my visit would have been perfect. This is not Headout's fault, but something that is on my mind.

This was SO SEAMLESS. And I only wanted to do 2 very specific things in Istanbul on my last day and they had a combo ticket for it. The audio guide was easy to use and just what I wanted, a last day at my own pace.

This is the third time I've visited the Hagia Sophia, the first time as a mosque. It's a shame that you can't see the dome from the center, i.e. from the first floor. But the visit is definitely worth it. Booking tickets in advance was an advantage, even if the crowds weren't that big in the morning.

The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we had a great tour. One tourist didn't see us at the meeting point half way through and yelled at the guide saying he hadn't shown up, but the guide did show up, he was there and so were the other tourists in the group, just this one man didn't see us and walked away. It wasn't the guide's fault, he waited for the man to come back but then had to carry on with the tour for the rest of us.

The Cistern Basilica is of course absolutely unique and well worth a visit. However, it has nothing to do with Headout and everyone has a skip the line ticket. In this respect, it's nothing special. Hence the average rating - you don't benefit from a skip the line ticket

It's not that I had problems, I just wasn't enthusiastic about the experience. Although the guide was nice and I think he knew about art history, he was not very enthusiastic and conveyed it that way. Regarding "skipping the queues" it is not true at all. You only skip the one at the cistern. I think you get more out of it if you are very interested in art, which is the point of view from which it was approached.
