Skip the ticket line at Hagia Sophia, with optional museum, AR tech, and 23-language audio. Great value for time-crunched visits.

“Need improvement and update on information of how the ticket will be sent. The description in GYG is one day before the visitation. In realization, it's on the day of the visitation. Maybe update the information. Also the place to pickup the ticket is the Hagia Sophia Experience museum. You should update that as well.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,929 reviews · 3 hours · from $68

Skip the lines at the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, and Hagia Sophia, then enjoy a Bosphorus cruise ticket with an expert guide.

“Our lovely tour guide, Buse, was friendly, great at explaining things, and kept us all engaged. We had enough free time at each stop, so we were able to explore the spaces ourselves, and stop for a drink, which we appreciated. The tour is also great value for money, as you get the price of the entrance tickets included. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this tour if you’re wanting to see the sights, whilst learning about them.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,882 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $31Top rated

7-hour pub crawl from Sultanahmet to Taksim with a party bus, games, free drinks, and club stops near Blue Mosque. Meet 9pm.

“Not a great pub crawl. The “free shots” at all locations are just juice with maybe a drop of alcohol in it. The party bus was 3 separate vans. They force you to take all these pictures where they make all the girls go in the front to make it seem a certain way as an advertisement. When we got to the first club, I asked one of the girls leading the group how will I know when we leave to go to the next spot she said “trust me you’ll know” well I didn’t bc everyone left and I was the only person still there until I noticed my…”

“Topkapi Palace was amazing. You need at least half a day to visit it. The audio guide (in Romanian) was like a story that made me look forward to the next room. Hagia Sophia ... a combination of Christian and Muslim religions. I was very impressed by this! To find in a mosque a huge mosaic representing Jesus with the Virgin Mary and Saint John. Basilica Cistern ... A place full of mystery and history. ALL THE PLACES ARE FANTASTIC AND THE GOOD PART WAS THAT I HAD 3 DAYS TO VISIT THEM!”
