Très bien. Inutile pour topkapi il n'y avait personne à 12h30 on a fait plus de queue avec le groupe que si on avait acheté les billets sur place. Notez que le billet ne donne pas l'entrée au harem que l'on doit régler sur place une quinzaine d'euros par personne et je pense que c'est le billet qui vaut le plus le coût/coup. Pour la basilique citerne cela vaut vraiment le coup de prendre le billet en avance, mais pas non plus pour sainte Sophie. Je pense que ces visites sont devenues si chères qu'elles sont décevantes (sauf le harem qui n'est pas inclus)

This is an excellent tour especially as these sites are extremely popular. Although there was some queuing getting into the Basilica Cistern was very easy as was the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The guide ; Buse?, was very knowledgeable pointing out the best things to see and best photo opportunities. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this 3 hour tour.

Buse was a fantastic guide. Not only was she knowledgeable about the history of the locations, she was able to prepare us for how the tour part would go ("In the next room they will hurry you along, so look up to the left to see..."). The Basilica Cistern was an option on the tour that was definitely worth seeing.

I loved everything about this tour! The guide was very helpful and informative. We waited 20 minutes for Blue Mosque, 10 minutes for Hagia Sophia, and 5 minutes for the Basilica Cistern. I would happily do this tour again as I feel there is so much more to see than just the first pass through. 11/10

The whole tour was special, covering three of Istanbul's most incredible historical sights. Our guide, Ece, was great - friendly, knowledgeable and fun, with a gentle sense of humour. We learned a lot and had a great experience in world class historical venues.

La entrada fue inmediata, mientras otros hacían una larga fila para conseguir boletos yo ya admiraba lo espectacular de la Basílica cisterna, yendo en tour mi hora de visita no era segura por lo que esto me ayudó a ahorrar tiempo y disfrutar del lugar.

Sorbanállás nélkül , egyértelmű vezzetéssel juthattunk be, a Palotába, ami sokkal konfortosabbá tette a látogatást, és kedvezményt biztosítottak a Hárem látogatására.

We had been told the tour started at 9.45 and that we should arrive 15 minutes beforehand - but in fact nothing happened until 10am so we were waiting around for 30 minutes. We really enjoyed the Blue Mosque and the guide (whose name we were not given) was informative and interesting (although rather unsmiling). However when we moved on to Hagia Sophia, the ear pieces through which he was communicating kept cutting off, so we missed half the information he was giving, and most of the time he was too far ahead in the crowd for us to let him know. This was very frustrating. Hagia Sophia was a bit disappointing as so much of it was covered up by hoardings on the outside and scaffolding etc on the inside (not the guide's our tour company's fault, of course). Overall the tour was well-paced and we were glad we'd done it - but not as enjoyable as we'd hoped.

Después de haber comprado las entradas con uds. a Santa Sofíay la Cisterna, imaginé que el procedimiento para Topkapi era el mismo. Así que, depués de llegar a la entrada del palacio, tocó ir al punto de reunión, este se encuentra lejos y en una subida increíble. Lo de la autoguia es un incordio, en teoría debíamos retirarla de forma gratuita a la entrada, pero éramos un grupo tan grande que fue imposible ... me parece un mal servicio! El palacio es espectacular pero el tema de las entradas no funcionó correctamente.

Explore Istanbul’s top landmarks with seamless access, expert guides, and the flexibility to choose your own adventure through the city’s rich history.

Getting started

Your journey begins in Sultanahmet, where the city's top attractions are all just a short walk away from each other. While each site is within walking distance from one another, please note that there will be mandatory security checks at each entrance, even for those with skip-the-line tickets. These checks ensure safety and can take up to 60 minutes during peak hours. Once inside, a licensed expert guide will be ready to take you through the rich history of these incredible sites.

A fusion of Byzantine & Ottoman grandeur

With its towering dome and intricate mosaics, Hagia Sophia is a breathtaking masterpiece that seamlessly blends Byzantine and Ottoman architecture. Its rich history as a cathedral, mosque, and now museum offers visitors a captivating journey through Istanbul's layered past.

Istanbul's majestic mosque of blue tiles

Just a short walk from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque stands as one of Istanbul’s most impressive landmarks. Adorned with thousands of blue Iznik tiles, it captivates visitors with its serene atmosphere, grand dome, and six towering minarets, making it a must-see for any visitor to the city.

Glimpse into Ottoman royalty

A few minutes away, Topkapi Palace offers a fascinating journey into the life of the Ottoman sultans. Explore the opulent rooms, lush courtyards, and treasure-filled chambers, including the sacred relics and royal collections that offer a peek into centuries of imperial history.

The hidden underground treasure

Just around the corner from the palace, the Basilica Cistern invites you to step beneath the city into a quiet, cool, and mysterious space. With its towering columns rising from the reflective waters, it’s a stunning underground marvel that once provided water to the Byzantine palace, now a peaceful escape from the bustling city above.

Tailor your journey

This tour lets you choose the sites that interest you most—one, two, or all four. Whether you're fascinated by Ottoman history, Hagia Sophia’s mosaics, or Istanbul's mosques, you’ll have the freedom to explore at your own pace with expert commentary along the way.

What to bring

Wear comfortable, sturdy footwear with good traction, as some areas, especially the Basilica Cistern, may be wet or slippery.

Dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered; women should bring a scarf or shawl to cover their heads when visiting Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.

Bring a small bag for your shoes when entering the Blue Mosque, as shoes must be removed before entry.

Wired earphones or headphones are recommended for the audio guide app, as Bluetooth may not work effectively in underground areas.

Bring cash for small purchases, such as scarves or body covers at mosque entrances, and for nearby cafés or souvenirs.

Consider bringing a light jacket or sweater, as the Basilica Cistern remains cool and damp even in summer (June to August).

What’s not allowed

Large bags, backpacks, food, and drinks are prohibited inside the sites.

Flash photography, tripods, and selfie sticks are not allowed within the landmarks.

Shoes must be removed before entering the Blue Mosque and cannot be worn indoors.

Modest clothing is required at Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque; attire that exposes shoulders or knees is not permitted.

Some areas in Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque may be closed to visitors during prayer times.

Accessibility

The tour is not fully wheelchair accessible. Most sites have uneven flooring, steps, or cobblestone paths that make independent access challenging or unsafe for wheelchair users.

Additional information

All visitors must pass through mandatory security checks at each site, even with skip-the-line tickets. Wait times can be up to 60 minutes during peak hours (June to August).

Scarves and body covers are available for purchase at the entrance of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia for approximately €1 to €3, if needed.

Hagia Sophia is closed to tourists on Fridays from 12pm to 2:30pm for Friday prayer; plan your visit accordingly.

The ground floor of Hagia Sophia is reserved for prayers, while the Upper Gallery is open to visitors (when accessible).
