The jewels and rooms of the palace are worth seeing. Well maintained gardens. On the downside, there should be a limitation of capacity by time slots because the palace was overcrowded and you could not enjoy the visit calmly and quietly.

Topkapi Palace is beautiful full of history and pageantry. Too bad part of it was closed for construction but it was still fascinating to visit. It was very easy to book with Headout and I liked the organization on the spot. Very accurate and punctual.

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.

Enormously crowded despite the wire-cut b illet. Once inside, only a few quick explanations from the guide, and only in English (we didn't understand everything!). The audio guide didn't work properly, and it didn't seem to us that the stages corresponded to the visit. In short, we were rather disappointed, given the price of admission.

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 Palace was interesting except it was so crowded I left after an hour. Finding the tour guide was tricky and no instruction to go inside and get a ticket. I lost the guide a few times which was frustrating. He should've kept the group closer together so it wasn't so confusing. It was ok just would've been helpful to understand the process.

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.
