The beginning was a bit messy (hence 4 stars), we had some difficulty to find the people and there was no clear signs. More contact ahead might help to smooth the process. But once we were with the right group, everything went fine. There was just some hold up at security but you can’t help it. The tour give you a good overview of the palace and helpfull tips to visit it. After 1 hour, the left you in the harem and you are on your own. The guide was nice and interesting.
The viewing was very entertaining due to the casual and funny explanation. Nice that we were approached before Hagia Sophia by Ergin!!!
Well worth the convenience of skipping lines and guided tour. Ozzie, the guide was excellent. I would recommend this guided tour. It was exactly as advertised. Admission ticket price was additional, but that is clearly written in their tour description.
It is a scam. We thought we have purchased a ticket but when we got there we found out we have to pay additional 50 EUR per person and what we have bought was just skip the line for 24 USD. They provide no possibility to get your money back once you realize what you have paid for. Btw, there were no lines.
I think you didn't clearly read what you purchased. We don't sell tickets only; we offer tours that include tickets—either a 1-hour group or a 2-hour private tour. You can request a refund anytime on TripAdvisor. We will refund your $24 as soon as possible.

We had the privilege of touring Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace with Ergin Karakoyun and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, he combined deep historical knowledge with an engaging storytelling style that brought these magnificent landmarks to life. Ergin explained the architectural details, religious significance, and fascinating historical events connected to each site. Navigating through the crowds was seamless. We wholeheartedly recommend Ergin Karakoyun to anyone visiting Istanbul and wanting an insightful, well-organized, and truly memorable tour.
