Suzanne
Good way to explore Istanbul, we paid £300 for two of us, we went to the main attraction points - Haggia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, Galata Tower with the pass , the best bit is it allows you to jump all the big queue to go into these attraction points, it saves a lot of time and energy! Tour guides for each attraction point was friendly and knowledgeable! Highly recommended if you are visiting Istanbul.

Very happy that we made the decision to purchase this pass. So hear it’s been the first day and we have already enjoyed the Prince’s Lunch Cruise and the Galata Towers. We have more activities planned for the next 2 days and we are looking forward to it. Will be recommending others to Use this tour pass.

We took the Istanbul pass for three days and as a result we had very busy programme. Everything worked perfectly, when we hesitated who to expect or where to go, customer service was always available via WhatsApp, and responded quickly. Great value for the price paid.

The palace was amazingly memorable, the architecture, the history behind it and the fact to watch some of valuable belongings of great Muslim leaders and some who were not, gave us the opportunity to know and read more about them. I booked the 45 min guided tour and honestly would not recommend. We had our guide Ekim from Istanbul Tourist Pass® storytelling selected stories of Othman Empire mainly focused on their final era wherein corruption and 'ruthless justice' was deployed and it came to collapse. Ottoman Empire with different Sultans had its major historical achievement, but definitely we recognize it had its flaws and eventually collapsed. It was bit surprising to see a Turk being sarcastic of the Ottoman Empire -their own history- and judging that era based on its final era only. The audio device given was just a toy although it was mentioned in the tour's description that an audio guide will be provided throughout the hosted entry to discover that it is just a toy.

This pass let's you travel Istanbul in a more enriched way since it offers a lot of guided tours. You are given a certain amount of credits and through the app you choose the activities you wish to experience. The app is very simple and accessible. - We did the Bosphorus cruise night, it was incredible, with great food, drinks, music and, of course, the staff was kind. One downside of this was that we had to wait 1h inside the cruise at the port since a big group didn't get on time (we think it was due to traffic). It's not their fault but still a nuisance. In the end, the cruise was so fun that we mainly forgot about that aspect. -We also went to Topkapı palace, where we met the wonderful Ekim, she was a great tour guide since she made lots of jokes while sharing her knowledge! - With the pass, we went to Galata Tower with another great tour guide, Fatih. He was interactive with the group and helping us with any questions we had, like tips on going around in Istanbul and places he recommends in Türkiye. - We went to the 2nd floor of Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, which both included an audio guide. - We visited two more palaces, Dolmabahçe and Beylerbeyi, we recommend visiting both!! So intriguing and included the audio guide as well. All of these contributed for a smoother trip, but please keep in mind, the pass enables you to skip ticket lines, not the entrance line. We were fortunate to not encounter many people entering in neither of the places we went, so it was quick either way!
