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.

This skip-the-line ticket with an audio guide to Galata Tower was absolutely worth it! The audio guide was packed with fascinating history and fun facts. The panoramic views of Istanbul from the top were breathtaking! A must-do experience for anyone visiting the city. Highly recommended!

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.

Audio guide easy to use and well descriptive. Too bad it lacks a reserved entrance or I didn't find it, but there was only one line to enter

We loved Hagia Sophia, it is beautiful in its aesthetics, its architecture and its history.
But we had to wait in line anyway, about 25 minutes to get in.

The tour to the Santa Sofía mosque was fantastic! Well organized from the ease of buying the ticket, to downloading the ticket to the smartphone, the audio guide in Italian.....
Very well organized and the value for money unbeatable.
I recommend

This was a self-guided tour. Hagia Sophia is spectacular and the script was well paced and helpful. And we were able to avoid a very long line.

Magnificent setting!
Access to the gallery only.
Few people at the security checkpoint. However, the queue was much longer for those who had to buy their ticket.

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...

Security wait too long. No access to ground floor. Carpeted floor hides original stonework. It's a real shame the building is less beautiful than before and not worth the price charged.

The queue was not particularly long
The monument is spectacular and tells in every detail the historical events it has gone through

Too many queues outside the museum, with queue-cutting tickets, no regularization of visitor flows
No access to the ground floor since the museum became a mosque
Very disappointing for the exorbitant price. Other camitales

Jamia is a mix of Christianity and Islam. The ticket price is high for a 45-minute visit. The queues are too big for a ticket, on 2.may it was expected to be from two sets of tickets per ticket without a queue.

We showed up then of opening of the site and did not queue by entering through the door used for the skip line. The guide to hear via the phone proved to be very helpful. Too bad we could not access the ground floor
