We made a combined booking with Fastlane. For Hagia Sophia and Cisterna Basilica, the tickets we sent were immediately our valid tickets. Worked perfectly. Both sights were very beautiful and interesting. At Hagia Sophia, as a non-Muslim you "only" get to the first level and can look down into the whole mosque. Also very impressive, but not really explained beforehand.
At the Topkapi Palace there was only one reservation in the mailing, which is easy to overlook, and we only noticed in front of gate 2 (where you need real tickets). We then had to go back to an agency outside Gate 1 so that we could finally get in with a tour lady. It worked but with a certain loss of time.
The palace itself was huge and very beautiful. Be sure to book a ticket with harem access (as we had), this part is the highlight of the palace.
All in all, a great day with lots of wonderful impressions.

I recommend visiting it but I think the price is a bit high because there are many more mosques and monuments to visit, but you can not leave stambul without visiting it.

Amazing structure under the city and made enjoyable with art sculptures. Audio tour could be improved with more stop areas and facts.

As there is no free WiFi and tourists do not have mobile data at their disposal. Such sights should offer free WiFi.

It was great to have the skip the line option, we save time on that. There was not guide so we pay extra for nothing. Audio guide is ok... the audios wew too long and security keep asking you to move, so you can not hear and understand everything

skip the line was a saver. We didn't have much time but purchasing the combo skip the line was perfectly timed. Enjoyed the ease of access and had plenty of time for other activities

You can buy tickets at the kiosk cheaper (i.e. 25€ for Hagia Sophia), but you need to wait 20-30 minutes in the queue. With this (Headout) online ticket you can go directly to... other queue for people with tickets. It's going prety fast thou. General experience is OK, but there should be option to download audio guide to your device, because now you need internert connection to use it. You can try to load audio guide when you have internet access, like in a caffee or in a hotel, but probably page will expire and yo need to load it again, so you need internet. Therefor I couldn't use audio guide in Topkapia palace.

The queue jumping at the basilica cistern was' great, for hagia sophia there is a queue to be counted for the entrance but still it was' worth it
Recommended!!!

Easy to book. Very clear instructions from the guide in Topkapi, which helps not to miss the Harem and the incredible collections.
Jump the queue ticket saved us waiting hours to enter.
The experience in Topkapi, Hagia Sophia and Balisica were totally different and absolutely awesome.

Thr queue was way to long so booking online was great.
We did have help to do the online booking by one of the ladies working there.
The cistern was amazing. The history of Istanbul is one to behold. Loved it

In the Cistern the fast access worked perfectly. In Hagia Sophia we had to wait in a long queue for the security check, you can't skip it. In Topkapi everything worked quite well but the group was too big and you could not hear the guide, you would need a microphone. Otherwise, the audio guides are ok but if you don't have internet, you have to download them with wifi, before going to the monuments, you would have to indicate it in the App.

Basilica and hagia sofia experiences great. topkapi guide was completely disorganised. too many clients to shepherd through. couldn't see him, not explained to us that we needed a paper ticket too. too many crammed into the harem as we had all arrived together. we left topkapi palace quickly without looking around as we were so angry and irritated about the situation

Quick access to enter without having to line up for long and in huge crowds. Self paced and tailored to my own interests. Informative
