We visited the Basilica Cistern on September 26, 2026. It was wonderful to have the flexibility to choose our visiting time after 9:00 AM. The waiting queue was extremely long, but we managed to exchange our online reservation for paper entrance tickets through a guide standing nearby. While it was a little tricky to spot the guide at first, it was totally worth it—we got to skip the massive line and head right inside. The Basilica Cistern is truly a must-visit when you are in Istanbul!

The Bosphorus night cruise was an outstanding experience and without a doubt one of the best activities we did in Istanbul. The views of the illuminated skyline, historic palaces, waterfront mansions, and the Bosphorus bridges were absolutely breathtaking. The staff was attentive and professional, the entertainment was lively and engaging, and the entire evening was well organized from start to finish. The dinner was enjoyable, and the atmosphere on board made the experience truly special. I strongly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul—it is a must-do experience that offers unforgettable views, great entertainment, and excellent value for money.

The evening before the agreed date, I had to send an email because the tickets hadn't arrived yet. In the end, it was sorted out. We were at the Hagia Sophia at 9:00 AM. There were still very few visitors at that hour. Unfortunately, the ongoing renovation work somewhat obstructed a good view of the building. At the Basilica Cistern, we easily found the man with the little flag to get inside. It was incredibly crowded here. As for the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet), there was no queue. We went in very smoothly. We didn't need an audio guide because we had done the necessary research beforehand.

Hagia Sophia is a must-see destination, it is beautiful and full of history. The audio guides along the tour help a lot to understand how it has changed over the years.
