I went in December, there were no queues. I did not find the audio guide, neither downloadable nor in QR. Anyway you have to keep in mind that if you go from Spain it is not worth activating the data because of the cost, so if it is not downloadable or if there is no wifi available it does not work. I think it would have compensated me to buy there directly

The QR code hadn't arrived even the day before, so I called to confirm and was told that it would be sent within 20 minutes, and we were able to successfully obtain the QR code. We arrived at Dolmabahce Palace at 9am, and it wasn't very crowded yet, so we didn't really benefit from the skip-the-line ticket (the security gate wasn't very crowded at that time, but there were huge people lining up around 12:30 when we were leaving). The Bosphorus cruise was properly announced in advance, so we were able to easily find the boarding point, and we were fortunatelely able to board it in just before the cruise departed, so we were able to enjoy the cruise without waiting.

I would like to leave a review about the boat trip. The point with the geolocation that we received by email was wrong. We had to run to be on time, and take a tram 1 more stop. Please fix this, if a person is in Istanbul for the first time, he will not find the correct location. The location in the app was also wrong. This spoiled our impressions of the time spent.

The palace is very impressive. Of incredible richness and magnitude. Something to improve: the toilets, few and very dirty. They do not match the environment. There is an image of poor management by those in charge.

What a beautiful place! I feel like most people concentrate on the historical sites in Sultanahmet and they overlook this gem! We spent more time here than any other place we visited! I did not like that you can't take pictures inside, because there were a few rooms that I would like to see in pictures when my memory starts to fail me.

There was a separate QR for each of us. It would have been a lot easier if both of us had been on one QR code After opening the first QR code it was very difficult to go back and open the second. We didn't go to the palace ticket office since we already had tickets. We went straight to the palace entrance. But the audio guides had to be picked up at the ticket office. That wasn't clear in the instructions. So we didn't get the audio guides.

We were at the palace as soon as it opened and there were already a lot of people. The gardens were beautiful as well as the ceremonial halls where high-ranking guests were received and the crystal staircase. Many rooms looked a bit the same and were dark and dusty. The corridors were too narrow for the many people so that there was a queue. It was also a pity that no photos were allowed inside. It was nice to have seen it once, but I would not go there a second time.

With the online ticket, which you can download from the app with ease, you are able to quickly access the wonderful dolmabahce palace. Bring an ID with you because it is required to get the free audio guide. The visit to the palace is done independently by following a marked and predetermined route. With the same ticket you can visit the harem and the exhibition of paintings. Highly recommended!

It was not mentioned anywhere in the booking that a passport had to be submitted to get the audio guide. Because of that we didnt take it to the place, and we were not able to get the audio guide even if we payed for it. My suggestion is to mention this in the booking description so that visitors like us will not face such a situation.

Ticketing expense was very good, quick, fast forward. Audio guide was very good also. People flow while watching expositions in a Palace and Harem was at a pleasant pace and yet enough time to see everything. Unfortunately photos was not allowed to do in the Palace.

Very easy to get tickets. If you don't get an email with your tickets you can always message the seller on WhatsApp and they will send them to you as a pdf. There is a lot of walking and 3 sites to see on the palace grounds so be prepared. There's also a cafe available. Overall very good experience

As the place was very crowdy we were lucky to have our skip the line tickets. It saved us a lot of time. Information provided in the audio guide was interesting and just enough not to get bored. Unfortunately there is no audio guide available in Polish which I find surprising given the amount of tourists from Poland I saw there. The palace is impressive and really worth visiting but unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures inside.

Myself and partner were pleasantly surprised with how fantastic the evening was. From the moment we stepped onto the vessel, we were greeted with warm smiles and great hospitality. The staff were very prompt in getting us our drinks, and the three course meal was delicious; consisting of delicious traditional Turkish food all round! We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of entertainment in the form of dance shows, live music and audience interaction - the talent of these performers was outstanding! We didn't expect to have entertainment throughout, pretty much, the entire cruise. The belly dancer in particular was mesmerising; the audience were transfixed! The outside views themselves were fantastic, and it was very easy to see it all without having to get up from our seats! The experience was also such great value for money; we'd spent more money on just a one meal earlier that day (and the cruise dinner was far better!) Overall, it was definitely the best experience we had in Istanbul, and I'd say it's definitely an unmissable experience. 10/10.

I love the food and the various programmes inside the boat .I would recommend this package. They also take your photos and if we want those to take home, we can request for one for 10 euro. They have an option to request for the whole album for 90 euro. I would recommend to select the photo of your choice, which is the economically best.

Our cruise was at night and with dinner included. The cruise was very nice - I wss worried I would get seasick but the boat was steady enough. I only wish there was some information or a self guide about the places that we could see outside the window. The dinner was good with a couple of chices for the main course, although, none vegetarian ones. The one thing that was not quite okay wss the price of the beverage - a glass of wine cost 500 TRy!!! And intially we weren't advised of those. And when we asked for the bill we were told it was 400 TRY, so we had to bargain for that price to be applied - which is still a lot!! Everything else, including the program, was very nice and enjoyable!

Hagia Sophia is one of the wonders of the world, for me. It has so much history and has played such a vital role for two great empires. A must for anyone interested in history.

I went in December, there were no queues. I did not find the audio guide, neither downloadable nor in QR. Anyway you have to keep in mind that if you go from Spain it is not worth activating the data because of the cost, so if it is not downloadable or if there is no wifi available it does not work. I think it would have compensated me to buy there directly

The Palace is a marvel, too bad they don't let you take pictures to have a souvenir. By the way, I took the tickets 5 minutes before entering and very well.

With the electronic tickets we had very easy access to the palace. The tour through the audio system was excellent. We spent 4 wonderful hours in Dolmabache. Amazing cafe to relax in the palace gardens. No photos allowed inside.

The palace is very impressive. Of incredible richness and magnitude. Something to improve: the toilets, few and very dirty. They do not match the environment. There is an image of poor management by those in charge.

What a beautiful place! I feel like most people concentrate on the historical sites in Sultanahmet and they overlook this gem! We spent more time here than any other place we visited! I did not like that you can't take pictures inside, because there were a few rooms that I would like to see in pictures when my memory starts to fail me.

There was a separate QR for each of us. It would have been a lot easier if both of us had been on one QR code After opening the first QR code it was very difficult to go back and open the second. We didn't go to the palace ticket office since we already had tickets. We went straight to the palace entrance. But the audio guides had to be picked up at the ticket office. That wasn't clear in the instructions. So we didn't get the audio guides.

It was easy to order the ticket on line though I did it right before going. It saved me much time because I didn't have to stand in the line.The audio guide was also very convenient as I could move in my own tempo. The palace itself and the gardens around are very beautiful. Add the terrific view of the sea, ducks and a swan in the pond - one feels like in the paradise! I didn't feel like leaving!

We were at the palace as soon as it opened and there were already a lot of people. The gardens were beautiful as well as the ceremonial halls where high-ranking guests were received and the crystal staircase. Many rooms looked a bit the same and were dark and dusty. The corridors were too narrow for the many people so that there was a queue. It was also a pity that no photos were allowed inside. It was nice to have seen it once, but I would not go there a second time.

Are you kidding me, no photos are allowed and we got yelled at every time we tried to take a picture. Why can't we take pictures even without the use of flash light?

With the online ticket, which you can download from the app with ease, you are able to quickly access the wonderful dolmabahce palace. Bring an ID with you because it is required to get the free audio guide. The visit to the palace is done independently by following a marked and predetermined route. With the same ticket you can visit the harem and the exhibition of paintings. Highly recommended!

Great audio tour that introduced so much history and directed us to fascinating areas of the Hagia Sophia, such as the Viking graffiti. Wonderful to be able to skip such an enormous queue to get in, well worth it!

In fact, I saved a few minutes at the ticket line, although I then lost the time as it was not clear to me where I had to pick up the ticket.... So, overall, it was not helpful to me at all.

It was not mentioned anywhere in the booking that a passport had to be submitted to get the audio guide. Because of that we didnt take it to the place, and we were not able to get the audio guide even if we payed for it. My suggestion is to mention this in the booking description so that visitors like us will not face such a situation.

Just sering this fantastic monument to human creativity. It would be good to include the best stop on the T2 line to get off for your ticket "booth". We got off one stop esrly snd had a long hit upholl hike to find you.

The service itself is fine, but the guy was late to the kiosk where we had to pick up the tickets and in that waiting time we would have already entered Hagia Sophia, as there was no queue early in the morning in the middle of August. To improve the service, considering that there is no guide to explain anything to you, it would be better to have the tickets directly on the app. Another negative aspect is that the audio guide does not need to be purchased because when you enter there is a QR code to download it.

The fike-cutters are very practical for St Sophia and the Cistern Basilica, but not very efficient for Topkapi. The cruise is very pleasant and the sightseeing buses always interesting for a first visit to the city.
