Discover the best things to do in Istanbul

Hagia Sophia is a beautiful place to visit - we visited in the late afternoon when the queues are small. Make sure to message the provider to get the actual entry QR code before you get to the entrance

We really enjoyed our combo tour. It was well organised and Hal our guide made sure we kept together as a group. His description of what we were seeing was clear and informative. The ostrich egg story was very interesting. Small group made it manageable. Recommend to all

It was a wonderful ceremony; I was completely immersed in a very spiritual atmosphere. The chants, the dancing, and everything else that goes into the ritual were beautiful. All of us in the audience were spellbound by the artists’ mastery.

This tour is truly magnificent—you can't pass it up without stopping by! The entire exterior is surrounded by trees, and the interiors hold unforgettable memories!

One of the attractions that alone makes the trip to Istanbul worthwhile. Wonderful atmosphere, lighting, and staff! I recommend going in the evening, as it’s much less crowded.

The crew was courteous and helpful, the boat was comfortable and reserved exclusively for us, and the transfer was punctual and courteous. A wonderful experience.

Visited Dolmabahçe Palace and honestly, it lived up to the hype. The place is unreal, the detail, the size, the chandelier… everything feels next level. Booking tickets online was straightforward and saved time. We walked straight in with no hassle, other than queing for scurity check-in, ehich was pretty quick despite the queue being long. The audio guide was actually worth using, eveb though one of then did pkay up a little, but it added proper context to what you’re seeing. We even managed to take so many photos inside, which made it even better because it’s one of those places you want to remember properly. The Bosphorus views from inside the palace are stunning, and the whole experience just feels grand from start to finish. Only thing, it can get busy, so timing matters. Overall, definitely worth it if you’re in Istanbul. Not just another tourist spot, this one actually delivers.

The process is too complicated for the Topkapi Palace Museum: meeting at a café that’s not exactly close by, waiting for the group to assemble, etc. Admission tickets like those for Hagia Sophia would be preferable. Five rides on the transit pass aren’t enough. Ten rides would be more appropriate given the number of days and visits. Finally, regarding the Bosphorus cruise, it’s very convenient that you can change your time slot, but it would be helpful if this were indicated from the start
