Topkapi Palace tours

This was truly one of the finest tours we have ever taken, regardless of the destination. After initially experiencing some issues while booking a guide, we were relieved when the tour company, Tour Mania, contacted us via WhatsApp and confirmed that our tour was back on. Meeting Hassan early that morning turned out to be a real treat, especially when we discovered that we were the only guests on the tour. He took us into the Blue Mosque through a side entrance, helped us with tickets to Hagia Sophia, and helped us and guided us through this incredible historical landmark. We explored the courtyard of the Topkapi Palace, where Hassan was thoughtful enough to take photos with us and of our family so we could preserve these special memories. Our entire family thoroughly enjoyed this experience, and Aslan left a lasting impression on all of us. His knowledge, hospitality, and genuine warmth made our time in Istanbul even more memorable.

it was a very informative tour and the guide was. very open to questions. it was great

it was easy to find the tour group - we had a nicely managed time in a huge palace and the cistern. guide was very knowledgeable and generous in his explanation.

Our guide Mr Baris is very knowledgeable and helpful. He shared a lot about the history of the places. However, as it’s a walking tour, it is quite tiring especially for those a little older. Nonetheless a good tour to began with at Istanbul.

This pass was super convenient and saved me a lot of time. I didn’t have to queue for ticket just scan the QR code and walk in. The only attraction that required meeting up with a guide was Topkapi Palace. The main queues were for the security check and the museum section inside the palace. Overall, it made sightseeing much easier.

We had a wonderful tour of Istanbul, exploring its beautiful sites and magnificent mosques. Our guide, Batu, was well-versed on Istanbul’s history, he was professional and friendly, making the experience both enjoyable and informative. In the evening, we enjoyed a 2-hr boat ride around the Bosphorus River. We truly enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul! We were also picked up and dropped off to our hotel which was very convenient.
