Not such a smooth entry, because I had no wifi /data so couldn't show my ticket.... very helpful women on the gate sorted it out. I'd also downloaded the audioguide which again didn't work for me until they helped .... But my oh my, it really was BREATHTAKING, totally awesome!!! (I found the audioguide a little distracting, so wanted to walk around without it, but once I'd reached the end of the circuit, it was hard to go against the flow and start again) Feb visit - still quite busy! An amazing place, incredible atmosphere, I'm in awe of the brick/tile vaulting. Medusa heads are superb. Modern art installations are a nice touch. Later, I watched videos from the film 'Inferno' - which incldes a copy of the cistern for their set!

the cruise was very beautiful, the service was the best. me and my wife came ro Istanbul to have a chance to dedicate time exploring a beautiful city: this cruise was the perfect opportunity. with much room to let all the passenger sit comfortably we could enjoy the view of the city in relax. the explanation of the historical monument was interesting and gave us a very good insight about the past of this beautiful land. even though there were waves, the captain skill made the trip very smooth and we felt cradled by the sea. definitely an experience I'd do again, I very much suggest doing it for everyone

Reservar o ingresso sem fila foi a melhor decisão. Chegamos e entramos rapidamente, evitando uma fila enorme do lado de fora. A Cisterna da Basílica superou totalmente minhas expectativas. O ambiente é quase cinematográfico: luzes refletindo na água, fileiras de colunas antigas e uma atmosfera misteriosa que faz você imaginar a história de quase 1.500 anos daquele lugar. As cabeças de Medusa são um detalhe fascinante e único. Foi, sem dúvida, uma das experiências mais memoráveis da minha viagem a Istambul. Recomendo muito para quem visita a cidade. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

La facilidad de sacar la entrada por la web, el ceso más rápido, el audio guía desde mi celular, para empezar. Las chicas que están en el ingreso son realmente maravillosas, son muy resolutivas Al ingresar la forma de iluminación de l cistern hace que se destaque la obra. El camino marcado por encima del agua, permite admirar toda la estructura, si bien había mucha gente, se podía mirar y detenerse libremente. Es una experiencia muy interesante para comprender también un poco de historia y detenerse arquitectura.

It was a really amazing and educational tour with wonderful information about the usage of Basilica Cistern over the years. As a greek visitor it had an extra depth beacause many things from hour histroy were displayed there and believed by the people of 7 centuries ago. I definitely suggest the audio tour and everything to do with it.
