Blue Mosque tickets & tours

All beautiful, especially Cistern and St. Sophia Mosque which, however, due to earthquake ilb23 April, we could see today 24 April. Courtesy and professionalism of the Guide. Thank you

Ali was an awesome tour guide! Great experience 👍👍

Everything, the guide's experience, cordiality, friendliness.

Booking a tour was the best thing we did, our guide Ali was great and made the whole tour much more relevant and interesting. Skip the Line tickets make a huge difference and I would highly recommend them.

The tour ran like clockwork. Our guide, Michael, was in the expected place and knowledgeably took the group to each of the three historic locations, explained their context and interesting and historical details. We were allowed our own time in each location before meeting back at an agreed place for the next stop on the tour. No real queues in the 4th week of June on a 1pm booking, but great to skip lines on this tour where possible. Apparently the rules have changes in the Hagia Sophia allowing guides to take visitors around the 2nd level which meant that Michael could explain the Christian and Muslim iconography in this exceptional 6th century building. Ticketing through Headout was easy and predictable.

Our guided tour was great. Our tour guide was a local woman who was very knowledgeable. Made seeing the 3 sights easy. Would recommend!

The tour was well organized, the guide was concerned about the group and very professional. I recommend the combined ticket for those who only have a short time in Istanbul and want to maximize their time.

Thanks to Ali, very professional and kind. Made us feel comfortable with detailed information of each site. Ancora Imparo...he knows, Michela and Roberto

Our guide (Matar?) was super informative. His delivery was relaxed, belying the fact that he has undoubtedly given the same dozens of times prior to our group. He allowed adequate time at each location for us to walk around before moving on to the next site. I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone interested in knowing about the history of istanbul.

The guide Ali, was incredibly knowledgeable - his guiding added real depth to each of the three sights and he was able to take care of us well, preparing us for any practical arrangements e.g. dress codes, queuing, meeting places, toilets etc.. these details are important! The Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Hagia Sophia were fascinating and beautiful places to visit and worth doing with a guide lest you miss key details. I'd do the trip all over again if given the opportunity and the wonderful guide.

Wonderful places not to be missed! The guide was able to pick us things not described in normal guidebooks!I recommend doing it in the morning to find fewer people!

Our guide, Ali, was amazing. So full of cool information but was very proactive for our group in getting us through shortcuts and making sure we were always prepared for thr next thing. Highly recommend!

Murat was an awesome guide. He was easy to understand, led us through all 3 sites at the perfect pace and gave us a wonderful history lesson. Highly recommend this tour!

The guide was nice enough, and knew a lot, as much as I could tell. His microphone connection to our earpieces failed, so that was a major problem. He also needs to say "ladies and gentlemen " less often, it waslike a distracting nervous tic. He must have inserted it 50-70 times in the 3 site talks.

Tour guide very helpful and provided lots of information. Answered everybody's questions. Provided useful information about other places to visit.

Ticketing was easy. Loved the whole experience. Our guide Halek had incredible knowledge and was very friendly. I highly recommend doing this tour, there wee lots of people going 9n their own waiting in long l8nescand nit learning about what they were experiencing so to me to pay for that was well worth it

Nice, interesting tours. The guide takes time to tell the story and even takes photos for those who wish.

The guide was exceptional. His comments, humor and knowledge fascinated me. He even went half an hour over schedule. My expectations were exceeded.

The really nice guide But we still have to queue to get in The group is huge, not great For 100€ knowing that the Blue Mosque is free, I don't think it's worth it at all.

Great guide with plenty of information you can not find in a book or online. Skip the line tickets worked fantastic. Enough time for breaks and toilet.

Guide was knowledgeable and took the time to explain key features throughout the tour. Responded to group questions with great insights.

Great experience! A group not so large that you can't ask questions to the guide and no one got lost despite big crowds. Incredidbly knowledgeable guide who provided a very detailed and interesting tour. A great start to our trip to Istanbul to get a base understanding of Old Town and its history.

I had a great time thanks to the guid who was brilliant, very informative and was able to pass on the information in easy way so you understood , he also had a good sense of humour . The things we saw were fascinating and interesting even though I have travelled a lot over the years.

A very entertaining guide, who ensured that the tour was very exciting, entertaining and entertaining with his great specialist knowledge and many anecdotes! Not having to queue is a great luxury, as the other queues would have taken hours.

The Guide was excellent! Thank you Ms Buse Kiss!

Our tour guide Buse was amazing. She was very informative and answered everyone's questions with a detailed answer. She definitely made our experience better than if we would have gone without a guide. I definitely recommend doing the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia tour with her.

Great spots to visit, the guide was great, giod details and good english. Plenty of time to visit, no rushing. Just enjoy

Our guide Öpücük was very good. We were impressed how smoothly she managed to navigate us in such busy places. We never felt rushed or anything. Just very informed about the places we visited. She always found the best stop and she had lots of time for extra questions. Great job!

It's worth visiting the Blue Mosque with a guide. We learned a lot. The guide was very friendly, not tiring at all and very knowledgeable.

It was well planned. Hussein our guide was great, knowledgeable and friendly. The pace and presentation was very good and clear.

All beautiful, especially Cistern and St. Sophia Mosque which, however, due to earthquake ilb23 April, we could see today 24 April. Courtesy and professionalism of the Guide. Thank you

We feared bad surprises after reading some negative comments online, but in Istanbul everything went perfectly . Precise and punctual organization, directions are given to the meeting point and via app everything is very convenient and at hand. Pleasant tour, our guide, Ali (I unfortunately do not remember his full name), was a nice guy, knowledgeable and very helpful. We had a great time with him, the explanation given was just the right length, neither too short nor too long, and the time flew by. Very convenient the skip-the-line ticket, considering the crowds of tourists.

The guide's maturity and knowledge made the visit even richer. We learned details about the mosque that we wouldn't have been able to explore otherwise.

Ali was an awesome tour guide! Great experience 👍👍

The guides were well informed, personable and interesting. Very glad I signed up for this service.

The tour is well designed and the guide is fantastic

Everything, the guide's experience, cordiality, friendliness.

I really liked my tour guide Ali. He gave me a lot of information and answered all my questions.

Hal was an enthusiastic and good-humored guide who gave many good stories

Booking a tour was the best thing we did, our guide Ali was great and made the whole tour much more relevant and interesting. Skip the Line tickets make a huge difference and I would highly recommend them.

No lines, beautiful and quick tour among Istanbul's major architectural landmarks. Too bad we did not have the possibility of the guide in Italian.

The guide was very knowledgeable and gave one of the best tours I've ever been on. She really explained the history of the Mosque in a fantastic way.

Great visit with a funny, energetic and welcoming host. We waited a while to enter the blue mosque, but this was due to a visiting dignatory and couldn't be helped. Thank you - we enjoyed the whole visit.

It was a disaster from the start with us being told the 1455 tour started at 1400pm and we were too late, arriving at 1404. We were sitting outside the design Cafe, where directed to wait from 1340. The guide was informative, once we were able to join a tour.

The guide's explanations in very good English. The guide's help in contacting the Bosphorus cruise company. The large informative panels on the Muslim religion in English and the booklets in several languages.

Great tour with Ali. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. His English was perfect and the time passed quickly. Really recommend him and the tour to get the best of your visit to both main mosques.

Buse, also known as. "Mrs. Kisses" was a really awesome tour guide. It never got boring with her interesting background info. She also paced the tour really well, allowing for just enough time to get refreshments and breaks between the sights without it ever getting boring. Plus, she also stuck around afterwards to provide us with some insider info on further spots to visit all across Istanbul. Highly recommended!

Great tour guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour took us to the best bits of Istanbul quickly with minimal hanging around.

It was very easy to find the guide and get checked in. The guide was very knowledgeable and helped us to really understand the history!

You are told so often to please be on time. The event started 45 minutes late and we were there 30 minutes earlier as recommended. But we enjoyed the tour. I only ticked 2 to be able to send the review.

Our guide, Ali, was amazing. So full of cool information but was very proactive for our group in getting us through shortcuts and making sure we were always prepared for thr next thing. Highly recommend!

Our guide was very informative and we enjoyed it all. The only negative is the meeting place needs to have a big flag with Headout on it. Would make it easier to find. We were waiting at the DSign cafe and the guides were at the side of the building partially hidden from view...

Murat was our guide yesterday. He was so knowledgeable and explained things from all kinds of perspectives, history and culture. My husband and I arrived not knowing much about the places we saw. We came home having much more understanding of its history. It was very interesting and made us want to learn more.

Murat was an awesome guide. He was easy to understand, led us through all 3 sites at the perfect pace and gave us a wonderful history lesson. Highly recommend this tour!

Both the Hagia Sophia and the sunken palace were beautiful! It is very worthwhile. And especially for the Hagia Sophia, it's worth buying tickets online in advance to avoid the queue at the ticket office. It's also worth it for the Basilica Cistern, as there are 2 different queues here and the one for the e-tickets was quicker in our case.

The architecture of the basilica cistern is amazingly beautiful, very well lit and with a well organized traffic. It has generously met my expectations. But the number of visitors per shift or hour should be reduced.

Tickets were easy to book, great instructions and saved a lot if time by not queuing. In terms of the sites they were really good to see and understand the history behind it. Great addition to our Istanbul trip.

It's worth visiting the Blue Mosque with a guide. We learned a lot. The guide was very friendly, not tiring at all and very knowledgeable.

Easy to book. Very clear instructions from the guide in Topkapi, which helps not to miss the Harem and the incredible collections. Jump the queue ticket saved us waiting hours to enter. The experience in Topkapi, Hagia Sophia and Balisica were totally different and absolutely awesome.

We made a combined booking with Fastlane. For Hagia Sophia and Cisterna Basilica, the tickets we sent were immediately our valid tickets. Worked perfectly. Both sights were very beautiful and interesting. At Hagia Sophia, as a non-Muslim you "only" get to the first level and can look down into the whole mosque. Also very impressive, but not really explained beforehand. At the Topkapi Palace there was only one reservation in the mailing, which is easy to overlook, and we only noticed in front of gate 2 (where you need real tickets). We then had to go back to an agency outside Gate 1 so that we could finally get in with a tour lady. It worked but with a certain loss of time. The palace itself was huge and very beautiful. Be sure to book a ticket with harem access (as we had), this part is the highlight of the palace. All in all, a great day with lots of wonderful impressions.

Made such a difference avoiding the long queues and getting there relatively early was the wa right call

Simplicity in the directions provided, all ok

The guides were well informed, personable and interesting. Very glad I signed up for this service.

It was a good idea to book without queues, since there were a lot of tourists.

There was no line to enter the cistern as we arrived early which made our experience easy and seamless.

Fantastic location, so different from everything else in Istanbul. Skip the line tickets are excellent, we got straight in. Make sure you have downloaded the tickets before arriving so you have a code for them to scan.

Skip the line worked. The lighting at Hagia Sophia was very distracting to take photos. Basilica Cistern was great. Audio guide did not work at Hagia Sophia (was it free for everyone?) so I did not even bother trying at the Cistern.

We were greeted in a separate queue with entry without delay. We were helped very clearly by the staff to download and use the audio in our language. We loved the experience

The mosque was expansive and beautiful. This coupled with a knowledgeable guide who shared details about the mosque but also explained how it functioned. I truly enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about the history of the mosque and more insights into the Muslim faith.

In none of the three places we had to wait in line, we were able to enter directly without any problems. In the Topkapi Palace, once inside, there were many people and there were queues for the treasure and the relics.

The queue was cut at the Citerne and the reception staff were very helpful, sharing the connection with us so that we could collect our tickets. But it was more complicated at Topkapi, where you had to collect your ticket from a hut outside the site, which wasn't properly explained. And there's no real queue cutter.

We went yesterday around 4pm to the Cistern. The entrance line was very long and we were able to enter in minutes through the online tickets entrance. We downloaded the audio guide prior entrance in our phones and were able to follow all detailed explanations throughout the visit.

Beautiful place worth seeing, we could not connect them to audioguide because once you enter there is no coverage, no one warns you about it.

We had misread the instructions and entered the palace. We were directed to the ticket office and the clerk told us where to find our guide. Once there, he accompanied us to join a group who were already going through the entrances, so we didn't have to wait 30 minutes for the next departure (very nice of him). The fast pass allowed us to do all 3 activities without a hitch, although you need to allow quite a bit of time for the palace and less for the cistern and Saint Sophia. It was really great

Well, the security queue was fast. We had a problem with downloading one of the ticket QR code PDFs but the Hagia Sofia staff resolved it quickly.

Everything was well organized, but the guidebook is very poorly done and the queue for the treasure is unacceptable for wire-cut tickets.

For me these venues are a musr see whrb you are in Istanbul, but as for mostly every over crowded tourist spot in the world I don't really enjoy them.

Everything went very well. We didn't have to wait in line and they gave us the correct information about the guided tour in the chosen language. The place is beautiful and safe. It is definitely worth visiting.

It was really nice good price experience. Will recommend your services to my friends and wil use your services further. Good luck!
