Guided Tour of Dolmabahce Palace & Harem with Skip-the-Line Tickets

The building is really wonderful, with a view of the sea. Breathtaking 😍 However, the guide was half an hour late because the road was busy, but this is a known thing: if a customer arrives late he loses money, if the guide makes the customer lose half an hour nothing happens.... when he arrived, he was very hasty, explained two things about the garden (which I had already read on Wikipedia) and then left, so I found his presence useful only for the purpose of queue-jumping.

Our guide, Arda, was the best. He was very prompt, efficient, provided plenty of very interesting information and answered questions.

Thank you again for great experience. Tour guide and your customer centre was very kind and helpful answering all Our questions. Dolmabahce is amazing palace and i would recommend everyone who come to Istanbul to visit. It's a must.

The palace is impressive, very beautiful. It was the best out off all seen in Istambul. But, the guide was 30 min late......

Yes, the guide didn't stay with us, so it wasn't really a guided tour. He just explained the history of the palace at the entrance and gave us access to the audio guides.

It was a really nice experience to meet Ozzi. He was polite and he told us a lot of interesting things about the history and the Palace itself. Lilianna

The skip a line option was time saver. I cannot comment that much on the guided tour but the palace visit was amazing experience.

First of all there was no line to skip. The guide was there at the meeting point before us. He gave us valuable historical background of the Palace. But once we stepped foot in the Palace he left us alone to do the tour

Excellent service from tour leader who met us on time, was very knowledgeable and sorted an issue later with our tickets. Fantastic guy and give everyone as much information as required, made sure we all gained entrance and got our audio guides then wished us well.

Arda Kurus, our guide, is a true professinal! He drove me through the past and present of the Palace, giving some hints.

The guide was interesting and nice, and the place is amazing
