Super easy process, highly recommend a skip the line ticket. saved us so much time and easy to use. This was a beautiful place to visit. We went first thing when it opened and it wasn’t crowded though started to pick up as we were leaving, best to go early

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.

This was a must see! I didn’t realise how big the palace grounds would be. not only is this a great places to visit to learn about history but it has incredible views over the city as well. We chose the unguided option which was great as there was a guide who helped us fast track security and get access to the Harem, then we were able to explore alone. Save a few hours for this as there is so much to see!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

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.
