Our guide Öpücük was very good. We were impressed how smoothly she managed to navigate us in such busy places. We never felt rushed or anything. Just very informed about the places we visited. She always found the best stop and she had lots of time for extra questions. Great job!

This saved us queuing twice (1 for the ticket, 1 for the entrance). A little expensive, but when you see how long the queues are...

It was very nice experience. We were very lucky because it wasn't so crowded early in the morning and we were waiting for the personal belongings to be checked only 10 minutes.

Luckily we booked the tickets online beforehand and were there straight away in the morning. We had to wait about 20 minutes. After a short security check, we went straight into the mosque. Unfortunately, only the upper part is still open to visitors, but it was very interesting. The public toilets outside were very clean.

All beautiful, especially Cistern and St. Sophia Mosque which, however, due to earthquake ilb23 April, we could see today 24 April. Courtesy and professionalism of the Guide. Thank you

We feared bad surprises after reading some negative comments online, but in Istanbul everything went perfectly . Precise and punctual organization, directions are given to the meeting point and via app everything is very convenient and at hand. 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. Very convenient the skip-the-line ticket, considering the crowds of tourists.

We bought skip the line tickets the night before for €33.50 each. The next day, Sunday, we went along at 2pm and didn't have to queue at all. Hagia Sophia is spectacular, well worth seeing. We are not Muslim so could only see from first floor balcony which wraps all the way around but you still get a good view of it

The guide was great. Very complete explanations. At all times told us how the visit would continue, times at each site etc. the visit was with headphones and micro which is much appreciated. Very punctual.

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.

Thanks to the queue-cutting ticket, we were able to enter Saint Sophia easily. We visited the second floor, as the ground floor is a place of prayer. It's a place where Catholic and Muslim cultures meet. What to see

I loved the incredible history and very detailed audio guide that was provided. The free roaming of the upper gallery really gave time to enjoy the architecture and artwork.
