Review of Istanbul’s Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, and Hagia Sophia combo ticket, with skip-the-ticket-line access and three-day flexibility.
“Taking in consideration that most attractions in Istanbul are not cheap I can say that this combo ticket was a good deal. Meeting with the guide and entrance to Top Kapi was easy and straightforward without delays. We visited all attractions the same day. Fortunately we were able to see the basilica cistern. In case we decided to visit the next day we wouldn't be able to, as it would be closed for maintenance work for 2 days something the Authorities had notified timely. This should have been made known to app customers prior to buying the tickets. This ticket combo was a very good idea.”

“We actually really enjoyed the tour, even though we had a fairly large group and the palace was crowded. The guide did an excellent job in giving us background information about the palace and the harem, and we could ask plenty of questions. She spoke great English and was thorough and kept a good pace. We then had time to explore the various rooms on our own. Tickets to the Harem are not included but very easy to get at the kiosk.”
