    If you have not much time, this give you a great overview of each site and freedom to explore at your pace.

    This was perfect for a couple of days in Istanbul. You don’t have to rush, because there’s several different times you can go see the different sights, which is especially helpful if you fly in late or have an early departure. Really enjoyed the knowledgeable guides and being able to skip the long lines. I was traveling with my dad and this is perfect, because I didn’t want him doing too much walking so it was great that we could split up the sights over two days.

    We had a good experience with the guides and did not have to wait in line anywhere, was very convenient. Guides were very helpful and knowledgeable.

    Muy bien organizado, las personas que nos atendieron lo hicieron muy bien, las explicaciones en un inglés perfecto (teniendo en cuenta que los turcos con los que he coincidido hablan este idioma bastante mal) si, me gustó y estoy contento de haber comprado esta excursión.

    The tours were informative and allowed alone time to explore and photograph on our own. Mehmet & Ogulcan were very knowledgeable and Guldeniz was bubbly and brought a sense of freshness and excitement to the experience. It was unfortunate that the Basilica Cisterns were closed however the team found a suitable replacement to view and get a sense of what the water collection systems were like in that time period. I will definitely look up this tour again with my wife when I return and by that time Guldeniz will be leading the group.

    Leider waren die Zysternen nicht zu besuchen, wir haben in der letzten Minute davon erfahren.
    Bonus: die Guides waren sehr bemüht, hoch Lob an Can!

    This was quite a disappointment. It cost £40 per person for 3 places (Hagia Sophia, Topkapi and Basilica cistern). The last was closed, has been for over a year but there was no mention of that while booking. Instead we were taken to another smaller one and given a 15min talk which was not very informative. The guide wasn’t impressive.
    Topkapi palace was the same. It’s cheaper to buy the entry ticket and get an audio guide. You will come out better informed.
    The free walking tours are much better with superb guides. Even after a handsome tip they turn out much cheaper and superior

    Everything was great! The guides were very knowledgeable. Memorable experience! We were able to choose our times to meet the guides and it worked out well

    Our guide Emre was patient, kind, inclusive and very knowledgeable. He made history interesting. …………….

  11. XoseAnton_A

    La enorme cantidad de gente en Topkapi, que no deja ver nada. Tienen que poner un tope maximización de visitantes.

  12. M_H

    Terribly terrible experience. Being tourist in the city, process of redeeming tickets is very very complicated. Wandered around to find the redemption place. Instructions are not clear. Meant to be VIP, turned out to be just routine. No audio guides provided. Try and make the process simple for tourists please. Best option os to turn up and get the ticket at the gate. No big lines. Such a waste of money.

  13. VivekanP

    Waiting for an hour on d meeting point for hagia Sophia tour but no one came to pick because d timing printed on viator ticket was wrong.

  14. AnnaFrankowska

    One has to wait in long lines to enter the Hagia Sophia and the Palace (the skip the line only works at the cisterns). The guides were not great (could not understand their English/spoke too softly), I think getting audio guides is a better idea. I would not recommend getting this pass.

  15. KokThye_S

    Similar tours provided by independent operators. Meeting places scattered all from make shift stands, small coffee shops, etc.
    For first time visitors in search of where your tour guides are waiting in a sprawling area and jam pack with tourists is a challenge. Have to ask two kind hearted English speaking Turkish visitors to assist to look for their booth where they operate.
    It will help greatly, if Viator ask Tour Operator to provide location picture of where they are located. Shop keepers, , police, etc can point right direction.
    I almost gave up after wondering helplessly

  16. Caroline_O

    Two parts of trip were good. No guide there for pick up of haggis Sophia tickets so unable to enter.

  17. Carlos_L

    Hagia Sofia – free entrance. No need for the combo. You need to wait in the line among general public.
    Blue Mosque – free entrance. You need to wait in the line. No added value with VIP Combo
    Cisterne – good value for money (15€ ticket included) and escaped from the general line
    Topaki Palace – Good value for money. No line escape. No lines at all.
    General evaluation: the pass has the same cost of the tickets and you get a 10 min guide explantion in each spot.

  18. Dalshad_S

    We had VIP Istanbul Combo Ticket, everything was perfect except for the lack of communication on the day of the visit, despite too many calls and texts

  19. MARIALUISA_L

    No se presentó nadie a la excursión …nos quedamos sin hacerla…una vergüenza… espero que nos devuelvan el dinero

  20. Nohara_T

    Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. We got to skip the very long lines for the Topkapi Palace and the Basilica Cistern which was a great time saver! Overall it was a great experience!
