Easy way into Topkapi - Super quick entry, no stress at all, we were inside Topkapi before we even knew it. Really smooth experience and totally worth it.

ITP recommended - The pass is very handy and flexibele, we changed our itenary a couple of times. It saved us a lot of money and time. Would recommend!

Beautiful - Very beautiful palace and very large, with beautiful garden. We can see all the old facilities, all very well preserved, where we can appreciate the beauty and detail of the architecture of the time. And place very large and requires time.

Very confusing everything about meeting the guide. The place is worth visiting - Strictly speaking, you don't need more than an audio guide. It doesn't make much sense to be made to meet a guide if he ultimately just drops you off at the entrance. Everything lends itself to confusion. The place is worth visiting, it is very large and you have to walk a lot. There's plenty to see. The best are the balconies to the Bosphorus and the jewel museum.

Good tour but not sure of the value - The tour was good in that it covered a lot of detail of some of the palace. The group was about 16 or so people and it was difficult to always hear the guide in amongst all the other tour groups. Very crowded. After the first three half of the palace we were to conduct our own tour of the second half, which was much more relaxing. Even after downloading the apps prior to the tour we could not get the self guided audio guide to work without wifi or connection. Not sure whether this was our issue or that of the app.

Experience can be better - Very friendly and accommodating guide. Didn’t like the fact that the company kept name and contact details of the guide “a secret” right till the last moment. I prefer to know who I am meeting and communicate with them ahead of time. For the information we received and process, the tour was too expensive. Guide left us at the Harem to go on our own while in fact most of the inside of harem is where you need the additional history and narrative.

Our only complaint! - Me and my husband just arrived from an amazing trip! Starting on 13/08 in London, then from 15 to 26/08 on a cruise through the British Islands + Belgium + France by CIA Norwegian and from 27 to 31/08 last stretch in Turkey. Searching before the trip well in advance I found the Istanbul Tourist Pass website, which was simply sensational in terms of service, time and cost benefit, when it comes to tourist attractions. We bought a pass for 5 days that already at the second Attraction, if we were paying avulso, probably would have given the full value of the pass! The fact that it is digital (easy to use) and especially the ability to "jump huge files", saved us time, enabling us to visit more sights. The Tb outsourced tours were impeccable, with excellent service and no delays. I only have one complaint: the visit to Topkapi Palace (one of the highlights of the tour for us) left a lot to be desired and somehow broke my heart, because I ended up missing the "harem session" :( unfortunately this tour is mandatory with Guide, which for us makes it difficult (Guide only in English, we understand but we are not fluent) and we already have the habit of researching everything about the place in advance to enjoy and see as much as possible, when the place is giant, as was the case. It happens, that it was not clear that this Guide visit was TOTALLY mandatory only with the guide and only the entrance to the palace. On the day it rained and it stopped all the time and at some point, because of the rain, we ended up separating from the group and continuing with the walk separately. Even because the Guide himself said we would have free time, so in our understanding, we were already inside the palace. And let’s say by the way: we’ve seen almost every person entering the palace on their own! When we arrived at the harem, the police said we needed the code and as the Guide was with our code we were prevented from entering! I immediately informed the Istanbul Tourist Pass service, which they could not solve. This tour was done on the last day of the trip. Result: we could not see the most important part of Topkapi Palace! We were very sad, because if this was very clear on the site, we would have left this tour at the top of the schedule, so that if some unexpected occurred, as it actually happened, we could have a chance to visit the next day. Still super recommend the Istanbul Tourist Pass and when I can go back to Istanbul, I will definitely buy again. We visit: Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia, Dolmanbaçi Palace, Bazares Grand and Egyptian, Cisterns, Taksim Square, cruise with dinner by the Bosphorus and Set of Turkish historical series shootings. For these tours we give 5 stars, perfect!

overpriced - after making the Turkish pass to the insane amount of 165 euros... visited in about three hours. Turkey has become a bit of a tourist trap. All very expensive, some visits to Istanbul are not included in the Turkish Pass. Consider well whether to go to the palace... nice yes but too expensive if done individually. For me it's not worth the price

Impressive palace with poor guide - We couldn’t understand our English-speaking guide very well. His accent was too strong. After an hour of showing the palace layout he left us to explore the palace in detail.

Horrible - I really do not recommend. I took one for Tokapi palace temple. You need to take the tickets to a meeting point. They were saying that an audi…Plus
