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.

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.

Simple efficace et sans aucune surprise. Pour St Sophie entrée directement juste à la sortie de TopKapi. Aucune queue à faire. Idem pour la citerne. Le coupe file est hyper agréable. Pour TopKapi le lieu de rencontre avec celui qui nous fait entrer est très facile à trouver. Aucune inquiétude à avoir et c'est à deux pas du site dans une ruelle charmante. Sincèrement je recommande.

It was amazing, the audioguide as well as the views were amazing. It was raining, and going straight in, without waiting any line was a blessing. The basilica is also a really centric place, so you can easily move to any other historic building. 100% recommended

La cisterna è bellissima e bisogna assolutamente visitarla. Santa Sofia un po' deludente. Per l'ingresso a Santa Sofia abbiamo avuto seri problemi con il voucher inviato dalla compagnia perché non era quello richiesto all'ingresso. Dopo mezz'ora di discussione all'ingresso abbiamo capito di dover richiedere l'emissione di un nuovo voucher, poi arrivato, che ci ha permesso di entrare. Fare attenzione a questo aspetto. Nessun problema, invece per l'ingresso alla cisterna
