Istanbul Welcome Card

I tell you, this card will save you a lot of time & money. So so so recommended. Everything was flexible, and no rush on our end. Honorable mention - Buse, for being the best tour guide for us on that day. Well-knowledgeable, explained everything in detail on every places that we visit. Please get this card if you ever plan to visit Istanbul without a travel tour guide.

Highly recommend for the one who come to istanbul. The welcome card arrived to hotel on the first day of my travel and can use directly the electronic travel card inside. The four tours were good as well.

Easy and convenient to use. We had such a good experience in Istanbul. We covered all the tour offered in the package. The tourist guide also very helpful and easy to deal with. Overall, you guys should get this card when travel to Istanbul. Great value especially for those with DIY travel.

This was a smart deal, which allowed me to visit Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia (with very helpful tourist guides). Unfortunately, Basilica Cistern was closed during this time and I could not visit it. Due to covid and lockdown for locals, there were no queues at the entry points. The package also included Bosphorus Cruise tour. Thanks to Haluk, Emre & Deniz for excellent tour!

Having these cards were very convenient and it made our trips around Istanbul extremely easy too. The transport card value had just enough for us to travel for 5 days around Istanbul. The museum cards got us into the most amazing tourist attractions around the area too, slipping the crazy queues and instantly immersing ourselves in the history. The guide was also great, conversing extremely well in English and shared valuable information about each attraction. One thing to note is that museums are closed on mondays and sometimes tuesdays so plan your itinerary according to that!

I purchased Istanbul Welcome Card (Premium) a day prior my arrival to Istanbul. They delivered the card to the hotel I booked in. It was fast transaction. My first tour was I'm Hagia Sophia. My tour guide is a lady. Her name is Ezge in Turkish or Melody in English. She was so fluent in English and very accomodating. The mosaic of Jesus and 2 emperor Justine and Constantine is so heart warming. I felt the holiness and the history just by looking at them. Further, the Holy Calligraphy of Allah Mohamed Ali Hassan and more are the biggest in the world. I went to Prince Island and spent my time riding a rented biked until 4:30 PM. Next day, I visited Topkapi Palace and my guide was the bearded guy. He taught us the history and time line of each architecture how once area differs from another because each courtyard or section of the palace has different function and was develop by different Sultans leaving their own footprint or legacy. It is worth a visit. It has a lot of similarity to the forbidden city of Imperial China. I thend went on Bosphorus tour. The reception of isntabul welcome card ask me to download the app. He recomended to sit on the right seat for a better view. The boat is branded TURYOL. It is near the fish and bread boat market. Thank you Melody, bearded guy and Istanbul Welcome Card. I went on solo travel so next time I will bring my family and friends and buy the same. Your services are beyond expectations.

Definitely worth it when you’re visiting Istanbul. Easy to get around and super friendly guides! For me the Bosphorus cruise was pretty boring, but otherwise I would definitely recommend getting the premium card!

Good card to use for main sites in Istanbul.. good guides and you get 10 free tram rides ..it is the best way to travel within Sultanahmet and other places within Istanbul

Convenient and useful. We were able to get into the attractions really fast due to the fast track. Also loved the bosphorus cruise and the museums included in the package.

I saved a lot of money. It was a hassle free experience. The guide at hagia sophia was so good. Bosphorus cruise was awesome
