Mga bagay na dapat gawin sa Dolmabahçe Palace

The palace is definitely worth visiting and I recommend it to everyone. It was very easy to book the tickets on Klook, but you need to keep in mind that the skip the line allows you to skip the ticket line only, not the first security check line. When I went, for the ticket office the line was very short, just a few people, while the security line was very long, all the way to the street. 📸 If you want to take a photo with the sea gates, do not stop at the first one if there is a huge line, you can walk along the iron fence and you’ll find four more sea gates. I saw many people lining up for the first gate, but the other ones had 1-2 people taking photos.

Napakasarap ng pagkain at napakaganda ng karanasan sa cruise. Maganda ang lahat. Napakahusay ng server na si Hasan, at kamangha-mangha ang bawat palabas sa cruise na ito. Noong sumayaw ang belly dancer, talagang agaw-pansin siya at siya ang bida sa palabas. Sadyang kamangha-mangha ang buong cruise. Nagsimula ang biyahe sa cruise sa isang inuming pambati at pagkain. Pagkaalis ng barko sa pantalan, inihain ang hapunan na napakasarap. Napakahusay ng serbisyo mula sa lalaking nagngangalang Hassan. Pagkatapos ay nagsimula na ang palabas. Diyos ko, napakaganda ng lahat ng palabas sa cruise. Maganda ang lahat. Ang belly dancer, nang pumasok siya, ay talagang agaw-pansin. Mabibihag niya ang iyong puso, 110 porsyento. Hindi kapani-paniwala ang kanyang mga galaw at sayaw. Napakaganda ng lahat, at nangunguna ang serbisyo. Magiging maganda at sulit ang paglalaan mo ng tatlong oras dito.

Buying the Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern combo ticket this time was very convenient. Purchasing in advance on Klook saved time waiting in line for tickets on-site. Both attractions are well worth visiting; the lighting and overall atmosphere of the Basilica Cistern are especially unique, and walking through it in person is even more breathtaking than the photos. The Hagia Sophia is also magnificent and great for first-time visitors to Istanbul. Advance ticket purchase is recommended!

Nasiyahan kami sa magandang tanawin ng Bosphorus Strait sa isang magandang lokasyon hanggang sa paglubog ng araw. Kitang-kita mula sa dagat ang Dolmabahçe Palace, Rumeli Hisarı, at Maiden's Tower habang dumadaan sa tulay. Si Chef Ahmet ay naghanda ng mainit na tsaa at nagbigay ng kumot. Napakasarap din ng fruit at cookie platter, pati na rin ang idinagdag naming french fries at toast. May kasama ring inumin, kaya't ito ay isang tour na may magandang halaga at lubos kong irerekomenda. Mangyaring mag-order ng inumin o karagdagang pagkain! Maraming salamat din sa magandang magnet na regalo! Ito na ang ikatlong beses ko sa Turkey, ngunit ang cruise na ito ay ang pinakamahusay dahil nakapag-relax ako at nakinig sa musika. Salamat sa mahusay na serbisyo, Chef Ahmet!

It was a wonderful experience. The boat offers drinks and snacks, along with an audio guide throughout the journey. The vessel is large, clean, and new with a great atmosphere and beautiful views. You can enjoy the scenery and learn about the history of various locations situated along the Bosphorus Strait. Service: Excellent Safety: Excellent Itinerary: Excellent Sights along the way: Excellent Value for money: Outstanding

Balena and the entire crew of golden city tour did a fantastic job off arranging and guiding the tour. They served us well, taken good care of us. Multiple spot coverage with little bit of history and facts put across really well. Great recommendations and hospitality!

A Bosphorus cruise is a must-do activity when visiting Istanbul, Turkey, as the scenery along the Istanbul coastline is incredibly beautiful. Due to time constraints, I only opted for the short tour, but if I ever have the chance, I definitely want to experience a dinner cruise.

Since it was peak season and I was traveling with my mother, I booked a fast-track ticket for convenience. I usually explore museums and palaces thoroughly with audio guides even when traveling alone, so I booked the fast-track option (including an audio guide). However, I later found out it didn't include the Harem section. To add the Harem, it would cost an additional 1040 lira, which is about 35,000 won, purchased at the internal ticket office. In hindsight, it would have been better to buy a ticket that included a guided tour from the start. The palace is so vast and has so much to see that it took us three hours just to look around on our own, and we visited on a Sunday, so there were long lines at each section. I thought it would have been more efficient if a guide had pointed out the key locations and must-see items. Also, the audio guide included with this ticket is not the official palace commentary but a much more concise version. While the official version might be better for those with a strong academic interest exploring alone, on a day like ours, when we were simply enjoying the beautiful and rare artifacts, we didn't really listen to the commentary anyway. So, it wasn't an issue. The tickets are exchanged inside the meeting point (Bistro), and at the designated time, a host personally escorts you into the palace. It was nice to arrive a little early, have a drink, and wait comfortably. The host spoke English clearly and distinctly, which made me think it would have been even better to have an English guided tour. In conclusion, even a simple guided tour is better than none, and I recommend a tour that includes the Harem section if you're going anyway. However, I have no regrets about exploring freely, and I was truly happy because Topkapi Palace was so magnificent. With its panoramic views, architecture, and the artifacts and jewels inside, it's a must-visit attraction that I highly recommend, despite the expensive admission fee!

What an excellent cruise tour by viatime, we all have a memorable time and experience, food was nice and host was very courteous. thankyou Viatime
