Esperienza bellissima! La Cisterna è davvero fantastica e la consiglio a chiunque visiti la città: ha un'atmosfera incredibile. La crociera sul Bosforo era un po' affollata, ma ne è valsa assolutamente la pena perché il giro al tramonto è stato a dir poco stupendo e regalava una vista pazzesca

Basilica cistern was really cool, underwater cave earthy vibes with water and turquoise and mirrored vibes, and then topkapi palace with endless exploration and history. I also woke up late accidentally but had the flexibility with the audio guides. Great day!

Excellent Istanbul Experience – Highly Recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We booked the Basilica Cistern Skip-the-Line Ticket + Bosphorus Sightseeing Cruise through Headout, and overall it was a fantastic experience. The skip-the-line access to the Basilica Cistern was extremely convenient and saved us a lot of time, especially with the crowds. The cistern itself was beautiful and fascinating, with its unique architecture and atmosphere. The Bosphorus cruise was another highlight. The views of Istanbul’s European and Asian sides, historic landmarks, and the beautiful coastline were absolutely stunning. It was a relaxing way to see the city from a different perspective. The booking process through Headout was smooth and hassle-free, and having multiple major attractions included in one experience made planning our Istanbul sightseeing much easier. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul for the first time! A great combination of history, sightseeing and breathtaking views. 🇹🇷❤️

Siamo andati alla basilica cisterna il 10 agosto prenotando con i biglietti salta fila. Entrati subito il mattino alle 9.30, poca gente così da rendere questa magnifica esperienza ancora più piacevole. Consiglio assolutamente così da non perdere tempo in coda.

Primero la facilidad para comprar la entrada para luego recibir en mi correo las indicaciones de ingreso, el día del tour localice al joven operador y en minutos estaba dentro de la Basílica Cisterna disfrutando de su belleza.
