Whole day spent there, there is so much to see. The best day in Istanbul. Very beautiful, you have audio guide that explains a lot and makes you experience even better. Beautiful photo spots.

Incredible feeling of the palace, spent a few hours there looking at the details and decoration. Especially impressed by the chandeliers, dishes, patterned stoves and painted ceilings. The audio guide gives detailed information about each room and nuances, so it was doubly interesting. In addition to the main building, we walked around the complex, visited the harem and had tea in the cafeteria. I recommend a visit to all visitors to Istanbul and those interested in history. Would love to come back again when the restoration of the Crystal Stairs is finished

For the tickets everything was fine, very good organization. Of the palace I would have liked to have seen even more and especially to have been able to take pictures; I don't understand the reason for the ban, no one uses flash and at Topkapi it was allowed. The stuarts looked like guard dogs! The bathrooms then too few, long lines

Good and practical. You should just make it clear that audioguides can be picked up at the entrance, so that you don't end up in the palace with your shoes on and have to cross the park again to look for them. Otherwise no problem. Thank you.

It was a great experience. We confused with our reservation dates but everything was fixed directly by the Headout team. Mr Emir helped us directly. He was in front of the central gate and he was very helpful and friendly with us.Many thanks Emir, you make our tour the best ever. We will trust Headout again

We were a little worried after reading some negative comments about these tours. But we arrived early. I had the ticket on my phone to be scanned. We easily skipped the ticket booth queue. We did not opt for the listening devices because we didn't know where they were kept. We didn't want to fight a crowd in the ticket booth. Besides, I understand you needed your cellphone active for it to work and ours were shut down. Didn't matter because all displays had info in English. The museums, and Bosphorus views were breathtaking. I would recommend to anyone. Lots of perfect photo ops outside. Pictures of any kind not allowed inside. The chickens, rosters, and partridge roaming about were a fun distraction in the gardens.

The Museum is excellent both in terms of content and organization. I consider the ban on photographing the exhibits to be excessive. The vast majority of your visitors will not be able to come back and will probably want to keep some of the exhibits they find most interesting as a memento. I'm having trouble understanding the reason. Anyway, thank you very much for an otherwise very nice experience.

Starting at 10 am was a good choice, to avoid the crowd. The meeting point was fine, the guide arrived at 10 and we moved inside with good information.

Our guide didn't show up until 9:55. So we were in the rain over 15 minutes. The regular ticket line wasn't long. Otherwise it was a good visit.

Apart from the initial explanation of what we would see inside the palace I would like to point out the excellent service when we missed the original appointment and the staff immediately reassured us and placed us in the next group. Guidance down to the smallest detail and real congratulations for impeccable professionalism. Many kisses and greetings from Athens.

Meeting point is AFTER security checks, this was not clear from initial instructions. The need of a guide to enter the Palace is pointless, easily replaceable by a map. Attraction is definitely worth visiting despite the high cost

The palace and surrounding gardens are beautiful! The guide was a very nice and helpful guy: we had booked the entrance at 11:30 a.m. but we arrived well in advance and he allowed us to join the group preceding ours, so we enjoyed a wonderful visit, making the most of the afternoon.

It was magnificent! It started off with the palace visit. The guide had much knowledge on the historical background and audio guide was helpful inside, did not need to rush in the queue. Cruise was an amazing experience with audio guide and chargeable snacks.

I liked everything but the fact that the Guide had all the tickets in one, it was inconvenient to enter the places. They wouldn't let us into the Palace because we didn't have the tiecket. We had to talk and explain until we were allowed. It would be nice if the guide would give everyone their ticket as the app says.

The tour guide was good. But he brushed through his descriptions of the palace and what we were going to see. He a few minutes late which made us nervous whether he was going to show up. The skip the line tickets were real benefit.
