Topkafe Palace - Amazing experience! Learnt so many new things about Turkish History and the Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W) section is really inspiring. Beautiful and well kept place.

Outstanding tour - A must see Istanbul highlight. The Harem and it’s place in Ottoman history is a really interesting tour. Don’t miss the Relics Room. Artefacts of people you read about at junior school. World class collection. Relics of John the Baptist and Mohammed and David’s sword amongst many more. Truly fascinating - whether you have a faith or not! Book a fast-track entry, or you’ll be waiting hours in a queue!

Pros and cons of this tour - It was ok. The tour guide was fine, for hos short time with us. It was a BIG group of people. No tea offerred to us at the cafe. You don't get to keep your admissions ticket, once you get onto the Harem part of the museum. . lMy wifi wasn't able to pick up the tour there, brcsuse it daid it didn't recognize my phone number.

Not Sure It's Worth It. - This review is about the Skip The Line ticket and not the Topkapi Palace which is worth visiting - see my separate review. The email I received said to meet at the Topkapi Cafe so we made our way to the entrance, went through airport style security and lingered by the cafe nearest the entrance. Despite asking a great many people with lanyards, no one was able to help. Finally a cafe worker told us that the Topkapi Cafe was outside the palace walls. We found the meeting place next to the Hagia Sofia and got our tickets. We then had to join a long queue to get back through security and walk back up to the palace entrance. We then joined the Skip The Line queue which, although long, was fast moving. I would caution anyone thinking about a Skip The Line ticket that you do in fact have to join two long queues.

Poo - Not worth the money, it’s just to skip the line which is not there as there are ticket kiosks where you can buy in no time, plus she just left us without any instructions

No queue skipping, just confusion & many queues - This is not a ticket to skip the queue. It is a ticket to join 4 queues only to discover it’s a private tour assembling at a cafe outside the palace. 40 mins later, in the heat of July, being sent from one queue to another, our tour began. Didn’t need this

Guide too hard to find - Topiaki Palace was wonderful, however too difficult to find my guide so finished up laying another (cheaper) entry and did it solo.

I wouldn't recommend this, scammers and charges you extra money. Disappointed - Disappointed. Definitely running a scam. I paid online to Trip advisor and followed the instructions, when I arrived at topkapi I had to find the provider all over the place. They are located at topkapi Cafe at the main entrance. Even though I had a skip the line tickets they charged me another 10 euros in order to be a part of the group.

There is a confusion between the voucher and the actual ticket. You need to go to a redeeming point which made us lose. - The best the palace The worst the ticket process. I would not recommend the voucher Ok that is all I have to sY, PLEASE ALLOW MW TO SUBMIT

Don’t bother. - Don’t bother. Just a ticket in. Very rushed. No one told me I had to download an information app. The app doesn’t work inside most of the site because of bad internet. Poor guides coped with pressure from a huge group of people trying to get the information. Just get there at 9. Buy a ticket and get the free audio guide on site. You will need 4+ hours. Huge site and so much to see and long queues for major parts. Don’t booked anything afterwards. Well worth the visit.
