Things to do in Istanbul

we started the trip on time. budget friendly tour for individuals, family and big group. staffs are very friendly, helpful and happy people. once the tour starts they will provide you with the code to set-up the audio guide making the experience more in sync while navigating the two sides of Turkey (asian and european side). it was a smooth sail and overall a very nice way to relax and enjoy the beauty of Istanbul. will definitely come back and avail the same tour package. highly recommend the sea and land agency. big thumbs up 👍👍👍

When with small group..trip was fun..visited all the places as stated in the itinerary.

Incredible experience, and much better price on Klook! Our first night in Istanbul was made so much more special as a result of this dinner cruise. Fantastic service with attentive, friendly waiters who made sure our drinks were replenished all night. Delicious food, a great introduction to Turkish cuisine. The scenery was great, but the performances were superb! We were constantly entertained by the dancers and musicians. This was a fantastic way to celebrate a special event, but we would highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul.

An unforgettable Bosphorus sunset experience! The Bosphorus Sunset Tour in Istanbul was an absolute highlight of my trip. Watching the city transform as the sun slowly dipped behind the skyline was nothing short of magical. The blend of soft golden light reflecting off the water, the silhouettes of centuries-old palaces, and the call to prayer echoing across the strait created an atmosphere I’ll never forget. The boat was comfortable and beautifully maintained, with plenty of space to enjoy the views from all angles. The crew were friendly, professional,and there is an audio guide available, from the Dolmabahçe Palace to the Maiden’s Tower and the impressive bridges connecting Europe and Asia. One of my favorite moments was cruising past the waterfront mansions and watching the city lights begin to shimmer as night approached. It felt peaceful, romantic, and incredibly scenic. It’s the perfect way to experience the city’s beauty, history, and charm all at once. Highly recommended! ⸻

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

it was worth every penny!!!!! it was magical!!!! i lost words in every corner of the palace and i spent 4.5 hours there 😆😍i'm a solo traveler and glad that I purchased the ticket with audioguided & Harem section included through Klook. thanks!!!

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!
