All three monuments are well worth a visit. However, for the price I paid, I was expecting a much more detailed audio guide, especially for the Topkapi Palace, where there is no audio guide for the harem. What's more, in November, there was no real need for a line-up of tickets, so it would have been better for me to take my tickets on the spot. On the other hand, the guide to Saint Sophia is very comprehensive.

Simple, effective and with no surprises. For St Sophie, enter directly outside TopKapi. No need to queue. Same for the cistern. The queue breaker is very pleasant. For TopKapi, it's very easy to find the place to meet the person who's letting us in. There's nothing to worry about, and it's a stone's throw from the site in a charming alley. I sincerely recommend it.

Buying tickets in advance avoids a long queue. Although there is one, it is shorter. Santa Sofia impressed me with the antiquity of its construction but it is in pretty bad shape and only the second floor can be visited. I highly recommend the cistern for its history and the work that has been done to make your visit enjoyable!

Very good to be able to enter directly for having bought the ticket online, the only point that should be taken into account is that the cistern does not offer Internet service and then the audio guide with the cell phone did not help me because it did not have data on the phone. Everything else, excellent

The process of purchasing the tickets was very easy however the description wasn't clear. We went to the museum instead of the mosque thinking that’s where had bought tickets too. Interesting but would have preferred the museum. The Basilica Cisterns was amazing!

Excellent solution for Topkapi Palace and Basilica Cistern tickets. For the palace, there is an escorted entrance up to the Harem: in our case, everything was handled well, we entered at 9:30 so we did not find too much of a line. The visit to the palace, following the audio guide's description, is very nice. The outside gardens are very impressive. For the Cistern basilica we found a bit of a line to get in (12:30): the visit went well, the light effects in the water and between the columns of the cistern are beautiful. Super recommended activity.

When we arrived at Basilica there was a really long queue... I'm very impatient so I decided to check if there is a fast track and we bought it. We skipped the line very fast, in 4 minutes we were inside basilica cistern. It was amazing! Beautiful, good audio guide. The most important fact is that a minute after we entered the rain started, so if we were in the line we wouldn't make it, so I really reccomend this fast track.

I really enjoyed the cistern although expensive it was worth it. Hagia Sophia was not worth it...especially seeing it after the Blue Mosque (which is free). The Hagia Sophia is in such a state of disrepair...which doesn't seem it should be since it's so expensive to go in.

Positive: 1. Basilica Cistern - tickets were issued online, so no problem at all to access the site (with skip-the-line option); 2. Topkapi Palace - only QR code issues online, but good organization to enter the site - guide took us through. Negative: Hagia Sophia - Firts of all there was no SKIP THE LINE, even if we have paid for this option. We were told to queue together with everybody else (45 minutes queue!). The online purchase gave us a QR code which was not good to enter the site. Therefore, we were told by the entrance people to call the agent in order to get the tickets. So after queing in a heavy rain we started to call the agent for the real tickets. That part went relatively well. Nobody answered the phone (3 times), but we got a WA message to write them which is the problem. They sent us the tickets.

Entry to both sites was very easy, thanks to HEADOUT's booking system. In particular, entry to the cathedral cistern was immediate, even though there was a long queue of visitors without tickets. The only criticism is that the explanations for obtaining the audio guides were not clear enough. We thought we'd be given a device, but the application on the phone is simple and doesn't require special headphones. Overall, a good experience

Istanbul is an amazing city. So much to experience you get sensation overload! The Cistern is breathtaking and I wouldn't miss going to experience this. Lineups are quick and efficient so don't let that dissuade you. Haigia Sofia is beautiful however please note the audio tour is confusing. The flow of walking through does not align with how each landmark is noted in audio. I would get the audio ready and simply listen to each station as you approach it.

The skip the line part was good. Starting at the harem was. Good choice. Unfortunately, the Audio guide was horrible. It was difficult to navigate, did not follow a sequence. The place itself was poorly organized. Could not tell where we were or what we were seeing throughout. We walked through harem and then saw the diamond and left. Part of this was palace itself and its lack of signage and partly your audio guide not matching what signs there were.

Great experience. Easy to use tickets. Amazing experience once I got in. Both the Hagia Sophia and Cistern are spectacular for their own reasons. Wish the app allowed you to download the audio guide ahead of time. Wifi in Hagia Sophia allowed me to access the audio guide. But the wifi in the Cistern wouldn't let me connect so I couldn't listen to the audio guide.

Nothing. The no queue thing is false, in Hagia Sophia everyone has to queue and during the whole time that the cruisers were there, the queues were more than 500 m long. Bringing two small children was unfeasible. When we were able to access with some speed, we did not have time to visit both and the cistern did not arrive on time.

The place on itself was absolutely incredible and 100% a place to visit when going to Istanbul. It was a shame the lack if organisation from the company as they took us in a rush from the meeting point to the harem entrance because they were late, despite having elder people in the group that were struggling to catch up.

Ticket instructions should be more clear to let people know there is a meetup point. We were traveling with older people and once we got to the gate we were told that we needed to go to the meetup point which was all the way back down the hill from where we had just walked from. After looking at the booking again I saw that the instructions for the meetup point were listed under another tab that was not labeled to say there were additional instructions. We then walked all the way down and our mom could not walk back up the hill again to the first meetup point and we had to call a taxi to go back to where we passed to go to the cafe meetup point. Once we got there and got in it was fine but the instructions should be more clear and on the main page once you get your booking confirmation.

Everything... BUT 1) there is a lack of precise instructions on how to make the visit to the Hagia Sophia (because in some cases access to the lower part is interdicted but you don't understand it until you leave the visit of the upper part and there it is already late, so you lose all the explanations about the lower part) and the audio guide is reportable for everyone (so you have the feeling that you have been cheated; 2) there is a lack of instructions on how to find the audio guide in the Basilica Cistena (at the entrance, which is not well signaled, there is an almost invisible little man who swipes the Q-RCODE on his cell phone ..... UNACCEPTABLE given the human flood of visitors)

The Basilica Cistern was indeed stunning and enjoyable. Glad we did that one. The audio guide for the cistern seemed a bit spare on information and could have provided more details. The Hagia Sophia experience left a fair bit to be desired. The QR code that was sent was not the entry ticket so we were turned away. To Headout's credit, and after multiple help chats, the issue was resolved, but it took about 2 1/2 hours. After skipping breakfast so that we could beat the worst of the crowds, this made for a poor start to the day. New QR codes were eventually sent, but we could not enter until

The Basilica Cistern is one of the most atmospheric and impressive places to visit in Istanbul. Walking through the forest of columns, with the dim lighting and reflections in the water, feels almost magical. The Medusa heads are especially fascinating and make the visit even more memorable. The only downside is that the entrance fee is on the expensive side compared to other monuments in the city. Still, the experience is unique, and you can really explore and appreciate the history and architecture up close — something that makes it worth the visit despite the price.

The explanations are not clear: 1. At no point does it indicate that you have to redeem the QR inside a cafeteria. Because of this, we could not go in the first group even though we had been there since 9:15 and had to wait another half hour. 2. It is not indicated to download the guide beforehand. When we did it inside the enclosure, there was hardly any coverage and we had to see the Harem without an audio guide. 3. The app has a very bad user experience, I recommend including the typical X to close the window of each tab to avoid unnecessary recharges from the beginning.

However, we had problems with the tickets for St. Sophia because the meeting point for pickup was closed and we had to ask for qrcodes to be sent to us via whatsapp. They arrived right away but what if someone does not have roaming to connect? We also had problems with the Blue Mosque and Bosphorus Cruise tickets but were not asked to give feedback

"Skip-the-line" is just another line of such fellows like you. Maybe it was mentoined in the ticket information, well put this phrase in a quote then. And yes, it's faster but I expected instant entrance for that price. We spend at least 5 minutes to find the entry point for "skip-the-line" tickets. Bad organisation and no inform tables. The cistern itself was fine though. A lot of columns with different orders and designs. But still overcrowded and noisy. I think it's not worth the price and your time.

Buying the tickets was easy and convenient. Unlike other services, the tickets from Headout were delivered electronically right away rather than requiring me to go pick up tickets at a meeting point. The Headout app on my phone worked great to show the digital tickets and download the audio guide. (Be sure to download the guide before actually entering the Cistern as there is poor Internet below ground.) As for the Basilica Cistern itself, it was absolutely amazing--well worth cost of admission.

The most important thing should be respect for people. Making an offer to improve service times, if that, on the other hand, increases wait times and inconveniences trying to correct a problem that isn't the tourist's responsibility, is already a lack of respect. They should optimize the digital delivery of tickets, and everything would work better. In my case, I spent almost two hours trying to enter Ayasofia. Fortunately, I have to thank someone on their team for sending the correct QR codes.

There was a very long queue on a hot day and these tickets got us into the Cistern in less than 5 minutes. The tour is exceptional. We did not use the audio guide and were just happy to enjoy the experience. The Cistern was cool inside despite the large number of people and the lighting variations made it very interesting. Beware of the carpet salesmen outside trying to get you back to their shop!

I don't understand why you are not given a printable version of the tickets in advance - at the same time as an audio guide, so that you can prepare for the trip in the best possible way. There was another tourist in front of me who also had problems with the audio guide (so problems seem to happen more often). It spoils the whole experience. What a pity.

If you go early in the morning, there is no line to buy a ticket or to get in. It is best to be there before 9:00. You get in line, buy and enter. And enjoy the enclosure with little public. At other times it might be worth the extra charge for advance purchase. But I do not recommend it.

I found this combination quite practical. We can access the different sites fairly quickly. It's worth noting that each of these tours is relatively expensive for what they offer. Topkapi Palace is a must-do, but far too expensive for what it offers (note that you have to pick up your ticket before going inside, at a visit checkpoint next to a cafe in front of one of the palace entrances). The queue-cutting cistern is extremely practical, but the visit is not very impressive (allow 30min). The mosque is beautiful, but its history isn't really explained, and it's not at all as impressive as the Blue Mosque opposite, which is free (but more crowded). All in all, I'm glad I did the consisted and saved time, but they're not really worth the detour. For the other two, tickets are available directly from the Apple (Saint Sophie's Mosque + Basilica).

I absolutely loved my visit to the Basilica Cistern in Istanbul. Even though there were some tourists, everything went very smoothly – the whole experience was well organized and stress-free. Walking inside was simply fantastic! What impressed me the most was the thought that this incredible underground structure was built in the 6th century. The engineering work is astonishing – nearly 10k square meters, supported by hundreds of marble columns. Seeing the famous Medusa heads in the corner and knowing they have stood there for centuries added to the sense of awe. It’s hard to believe that such a massive cistern was constructed so many centuries ago to supply water to the Great Palace and nearby buildings. The atmosphere, the cool air, the dim lighting, and the reflection of columns in the shallow water made the whole visit unforgettable.

In 2 out of 3 attractions the queue-jumper was not needed but I understand this may depend on the time/period. Outside Hagia Sofia there is the possibility, via QR code posted on billboards, to download the ticket (not queuing then) and paying €25. Later we can discuss whether it is worth there but that is another issue. I was convinced that what I downloaded was the entrance ticket for Topkapi as well, which is not the case as you have to reach a meeting point and then be taken inside by a guide. The audio guide is not the official one (free with the ticket) but you have to download it and listen by losing smartphone battery. It didn't work well for me and after a while I gave up on it. In basilica cisterna the queue-jumper worked great avoiding me a long queue under the sun. In all, by buying official tickets at the ticket counters, I think I would have saved about €50 or so.

The tickets were fine. However, there was some confusion about where to report / wait regarding the entrance guidance for the Topkapi palace. It would have been a lot easier if it was mentioned that you have to be at the kiosk (with name) with terrace. The audio guide is poor. Often the order is not correct and/or you have no idea where you are and which audio file to listen to. It would be a significant improvement if, by means of GPS reception, you could see your own position on the map and thus know which audio file to play. We stopped using the audio tour. A bad audio tour will prevent us from using this provider again next time. Kind regards, Rick Buis

Hello. The queue-cutting ticket is useless: you have to go to the Topkapi café before entering the site and wait for the 50 other visitors with you to be present at the departure of the café, to pass through security, to assemble before entering the Palace ... in short: it's quicker to go through the traditional checkouts ... especially when you're sold an audio guide that doesn't exist! The explanations given by the "guide" are more than brief: his mission is to get you through the doors of the Harem. And that's that. I put 3 stars out of 5 for the formidable beauty of the site. For the rest, you'll have to pass.

Both experiences were great and wonderful to have. The ticketing process was great. Definitely must see places. I would have loved to be able to have the audio to be provided by an individual listening devices without me having to download to my phone. It made it difficult for me to share the audio with the other 4 people in my group, 2 of them being children who don't have phones. As well as internet access being spotty.

The fast pass allowed us to do all 3 activities without a hitch, although you need to allow quite a bit of time for the palace and less for the cistern and Saint Sophia. It was really great

It happened suddenly and sometimes got fixed without explanation either. However, it was really annoying and I stopped using it after 5-6 times restarting the tour guide. The good side of the tour was your staff and smooth entry. For that I can give 5 star. He was really clear and informative.

A visit that is worthwhile. Remember that if you do not have your tickets bought in advance, you have to queue twice or divide the group in two and while some buy, others keep the entrance line. Both waits are not tedious. The QR system that are placed at the points of interest, tell you some curious facts and also, in a simple and concise way, the history of Hagia - Sofia. Notice of interest, is that you can save adding extra to your ticket, those QR and the beauty of the place, are enough for your enjoyment. If you want to expand your interest or information, you better take everything written down beforehand or make the visit with a good professional guide.

The experience in this historic setting was amazing. The one downfall was trying to download and use the purchased audio tour once we entered the cistern. It was impossible to obtain a signal and so was completely useless when walking around the cistern. Maybe more emphasis should be placed on alerting visitors of this fact and advising them to download and listen to the audio information well before entering. Maybe this is already the case but I certainly did not see any directions around this issue. The purchase of this audio tour was a waste of money as I could already find this information on line

It's really skip the line tickets. Just show and go. Everything works perfectly. But we didn't find Audio guide in the Basilica. That was sad. And the most sad is that you have an access to the second floor of Haiga Sofia. Not to the first floor as well. To estimate the space of the entire building is only possible with the access to the first floor. But if you're not a Muslim than you have just only second floor. Which is pretty good because of ancient mosaics but doesn't gives you the full picture. If you don't have your own gawn or scarf it will be provided by the property (single used) free.

Basilica Cistern, great, great! We loved it, it is a place you should not miss. Hagia Sophia you have to see it, but I personally was disappointed because I found areas neglected and very dusty; but you have to see it. In both cases the self-guide was very good. In the Topkapi, you have to go to get the tickets at a nearby bar, but the guide that accompanies you is in English only and I did not like that we were many, I could not see the first area and listen to the audio guide, it takes you directly to the harem and you lose the previous. Here I think you should improve.

The Topkapi Palace is very beautiful and the visit can be made at leisure. However, we had to wait half an hour at the ticket office before we could get in, as there is no individual accompaniment. In addition, given the number of visitors, the site lacks toillettes, which causes a lot of waiting. We didn't have an audioguide, and the guide didn't give us time to pick them up if they had to be picked up at a specific point.

Beautiful place but I thought the price was not worth. Based on other Attractions I have seen, around €20 would have been ok. Setting up the Audio Guide on my personal device was a bit cumbersome as there is no guidance at the entrance on how to do it. A Staff Member was kind enough to set up the Wifi and Download the Audio Guide. I suggest a more visible instruction for that as well as a better numerical sequence for the route.

Skip the line at Agya Sophia is unnecessary because you have to queue for security check anyway and then enter directly. The audio guide is good and easy to follow. I had problems with the audio guide for the Basilica Cisterna but since I realized before the trip that I could not access, the customer service solved the problem in time so everything worked properly.

the Topkapi Palace and in particular the Harem alone would merit a two-day visit, so many fantastic things to see. However, the entrance to the Harem was chaotic because, apart from yet another queue (after those at the palace entrance, which were interminable) the attendants were demanding an extra ticket from us. In the end we still managed to get through, also complicit in the confusion ... Too bad

We liked the possibility to skip the queue - especially in Cisterna and Hagia Sophia. In Turkey things look chaotic, but finally everything works. The entrance to Topkapi Palace was complicated to us - the neccessity of hunting the host who would bring us to the second courtayrd was contraintuitive. Fortunately, we found very helpful guy, who managed the entrance, finally.

It's useful to have someone to guide us through this maze of monuments and places to discover. Even so, we found ourselves with a group of 100 people, not easy to find our way around. But the guide is used to managing and explaining the main points. It's very practical, especially given the number of people who come to visit this place. Worth a visit

You sell a ticket with an audio guide that no one can use as you are underground. Should not sell the ticket with an audio guide you have to have the Internet to use. Should allow people to download or make it that they can use the audio off line. We assumed that there would be Internet access otherwise why would you sell the ticket??

Amazing experience - traversing to more and more inner courtyards, including the Harem's quarters. Crowds were large, so having a guide getting us in faster was very helpful (and he had a great sense of humor). Once inside, some of the rooms are relatively small and crowds remain large, so be prepared for this.

A very nice visit, a magical place! What could be improved is the audioguide because you have to wait at the entrance for someone to take your phone, you have to have earphones with you and you often have to reload all the content because it doesn't work, it blocks or there's no sound.
