Gettig this card was one of best decisions. it was delivered to our hotel, the transfer service made contact prior and the rest was easy peasy. Used on the trams, metro to get to some great places. Highly recommended if you want to see many parts of Istanbul in a short time.

To understand the history of the Ottoman Empire, you must visit Hagia Sophia. The blend of Christianity and Islam has been very well captured there. There were some renovations undergoing, which obstructed the view. experience: Great experience if you are a history lover.

An incredible place to visit. highly recommend on your trip to Istanbul. women must wear long pants/ head scarf/ conservative clothing. if you don’t have a scarf you can purchase a head covering at the counter. Klook was cheaper than the vendor selling tickets and allowed us to skip the line

The Bosphorus Cruise was truly a magical experience. Sailing between Europe and Asia while watching Istanbul unfold from the water was unforgettable. The views of historic palaces, mosques, and charming waterfront houses were breathtaking, especially as the light reflected off the strait. It was peaceful, scenic, and deeply enriching—an experience that beautifully captures the soul of Istanbul. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city.

I loved it. Rich history. Beautiful architecture. Depends on your budget but it’s money well spent if you like history. It doesn’t take long to tour around maybe 30-45min. Make sure to book with Klook in advance so you skip the long ques.

the palace was on large grounds, so would have been good if the entrance was highlighted….actually eastern side. gardens and house, smaller museums are well worth the admission. can easily spend 3+ hours and lots of walking

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bosphorus Dinner Cruise Review We had a wonderful experience on the Bosphorus dinner cruise. The dinner was delicious, and the variety of dishes really impressed us. The Turkish shows were amazing — lively, colourful, and full of great energy. The waiters were attentive and very good, making sure we were comfortable throughout the night. And of course, the views were absolutely stunning, especially seeing Istanbul lit up from the water. Overall, a beautiful night with great food, fantastic entertainment, and unforgettable views. Highly recommended!

experience: I loved the experience visiting Topkapi Palace, especially the Harem and other parts of the palace. The view of the Bosphorus was wonderful. This is a must-visit place when you are in Istanbul, to learn the history of the Sultan.

Topkapi Palace was absolutely wonderful! It’s such a huge and fascinating place to explore, with so much to learn about the Ottoman lifestyle. For me, the holy sacred relics of the Islamic prophets and the sahabah were the main highlights of the visit. Our tour guide, Ece from Tourmania, was incredibly informative and patient throughout the tour — we truly enjoyed the entire experience. Purchasing the tickets through Klook also made the visit much easier and more convenient.
