Skip the line and enter the most important museum of Turkey and the Balkan Peninsula. Enjoy a guided tour inside and see the four courtyard museum including the Audience Hall, High Court, Historical Kitchens, and The Treasury.
It is mandatory for guests to use a headset during the tour. For this reason, be sure to bring your ID card with you when you come to the Topkapi Palace Tour. ID cards will be taken during the use of the headset and will be returned at the end of the tour.

It seemed like a disaster to me, it only lasts an hour, you can't ask the guide anything and suddenly he's gone. A scam, I don't recommend it at all.

Of several tours, the tour guide was the least energetic and did not give interesting information. Quick lines and efficient ticketing, however.

Thanks to our guide Hassan, a very knowledgeable guide, the tour is long but very informative, if you want to find out a lot of information a tour with Hassan is a must-do. A friendly guy, takes really good care of the group, willing to answer questions, we did enjoy the tour and do recommend it! The pass is good value for money if you use it to the fullest, see as much as you can each day and it is worth it.

Hi. Our guide, Hassan was great (I hope I can remember the name correctly). He explained a lot to us…was careful not to lose any visitors, kept his flag up so he could be seen easily, was gracious in answering questions and for the time allocated it was super ok. The quality of the headphones was weak…a lot of times they did not work but we gathered close to hear him and we overcame this impediment. These headphones offer a great comfort in a big crowd and they are super important. Also the support on WhatsApp was great. It was difficult for me at the beginning with the app but I became a pro user 😂

The palace is huge, full of beautiful gardens and distinctive buildings. It has a museum, a room of sacred relics, a beautiful view of the Bosphorus. Anyway, it's very worth it.

We showed up to the meeting location on time but we could not locate our tour guide. After spending 10-15 minutes trying to locate our tour guide and speaking with several other tour guides I called the phone number listed and was told by the gentleman on the line that the tour was at 11:00, not 10:00. I told him we had tickets showing 10:00 but he insisted the tour was not at 10:00. We could not have taken the 11:00 tour since we were boarding a cruise ship at noon. We never got to tour the palace and the tour operator refused a refund, very disappointing. Wait until you get to Istanbul and book a tour thru your hotel if you want a guided tour.

Guide moved too fast from meeting place to palace entry, lost in crowd, separated from group. Could not enter on first attempt. We were turned away at entry turnstiles.

Hi! I’m writing about our experience.
Let’s start: is the card usful? NO. Why? Here there is motivation by point:
1. guided tour: the service offered is not a guided tour, is meeting in a point of a city (see point 2) with a “guide” that carries you by foot into a monument and explains two information that you can read on a travel book, no more (a part some exeptions, very few). Then the guide abandons you and let you visit by yourself. It doesn’t make sense. I can read a travel book, and I can walk my self. You could think, maybe you will skip the line, no of course, even that is no.
2. Meeting point: it is necessary an internet connession to find them. So if you don’t want to buy a sim card, is impossibile to find some of that. That’s not fair, you oblige me to do a sim card, that’s not funny. Maybe instead of meeting point in the middle of the street you can meet the clients in front of the ticket office…
3. Monument: seriuosly? I can’t go and visit on my own a monument because it’s not in the hour of the guided tour timetable? For example: galata tower is open from 8 to 22, if you want to see the sunset from there YOU HAVE TO BUY A TICKEY, beacuse the pass, of course, is a NO PASS. So, i have to respect their nonsense timetable to visit principal monuments but if I do a “guided tour”, you carry me by walk, you tell me notions that i can read and then I have to visit by myself. It doesn’t make any sense.
4. Whatsapp support: I try to reach you, to explain my disappointment, you didn’t answer.
5. Transportation: it isn’t even included. I can’t say anymore.
This is a freud. Don’t do the card with them. Use the muzeumpass that is not sponsored very well, but has all attractions (only a few are excluded, like basilica cistern 10€, and harem in topkapi 10€ that is also exluded in instanbul card pass of course)
