Combo (Save 9%): Basilica Cistern Skip-the-Line Tickets + Busforus 1-Day Hop-On Hop-Off Tour of Istanbul

Cistern a masterpiece I highly recommend to go see it and get tickets at headout because you don't wait in line you go straight to the entrance you show electronic ticket and they let you through

Fantastic experience! Absolutely recommended! Best to buy tickets online to skip the line and gain easy access

I bought tickets in front of Istanbul's Basilica cistern while looking at the que that was 200 meters long. Entered in 3 minutes. Worth the money!

Incredible historical attraction.. one of my favourite. Really good having staff at start of the line to direct people into appropriate lines. Well organised

The 3€ added to the 25€ entrace price was worth every penny to me. I actually bought the ticket from their website while standing on the long queue to enter the site. I got instant confirmation of my purchase via email, and walked straight to the entrance. TIP: buy the ticket when you have WiFi and can download the app as well -- while I was able to buy and get email confirmation of the purchase without it, the link from the email to get the QR code doesn't work without it, however the attendants at the entrance were extremely helpful and got this straightened out for me.

Bus ran approx. every 45 minutes, very good and detailed description of the attractions (however, you could not hear the information about the station where you wanted to get off, otherwise you would have missed the exit), possibility to charge your cell phone on the way.

Buying the online skip the line tickets is great as no time is wasted queuing to buy tickets. There is another separate line for this ticket to get into the basilica..

Ticketing experience with Headhout went very smoothly. Walked straight into the venue definitely skipping the queues. The venue itself is awesome and is a MUST visit in Istanbul.

Bus tour as described but no food or drinks were administered, and twice I was changed the day of the tour I had booked due to events in place but they should know in advance so you don't get booked on days when the service can't be effeected, good guide on board I suggest to include Italian language as well

Ticketing experience wasn't easy online, it was asking me to download the app to retrieve the tickets, which I didn't want to do. Skipping the queue was simple.

Visiting The Cistern Basilica was one of the most beautiful cultural experiences I have ever had! It is like being immersed in a surreal world where the charm of the ancient world is combined with the magic of contemporary art. I highly recommend skip the line given the amount of tourists!

The place is incredible and there's no queue with the online ticket! The queue was huge and we went straight inside without any queue.

Thia was a great experience, tried to do it two years ago but it was closed for repairs , but managed to get to see a magnificent like temple to the engineers of the past , a must go and see , you will be amazed , book on line as the ques are long , enjoy the experience

The team need to be given better information on how to use the etickets. The young lady mentioned that we had to download all 3 tickets that were purchase individually and not be on the app as it was purchased by one person. That delayed us almost 15 minutes in trying to figure it out, when we got to the checking in location the other young lady told us it was not necessary as it was easier for her to do on the app of the person who purchased the tickets. Too much confusion, just make it easy.

I was very impressed with the woman helping me download my tickets to .pdf ready tickets. She was incredibly patient with my lack of experience. I also was astounded by the cistern.

It was really cool to be able to skip the line, as it was very hot outside and we were with a child. Inside the cisterns we were blown away by the beauty of the roman architechture and the number of turists there. There was no control on the number of persons going in. You are pushed by the crowed and cannot enjoy the experience as you're supposed to do. But that's the responsability of the turkish administration. All in all it's been an enjoyable experience.

Amazing architectural feat. Technology meets beautiful art. Just wunderful in every aspect. To avoid quenes buy tickets online. Not to be missed.

Un coupe file indispensable pour visiter la citerne basilique d'Istanbul où la file d'attente de plusieurs centaines de personnes du soir au matin peut dissuader ! Une fois à l'intérieur, la magie du site opère. Une visite à ne pas manquer.

I was searching for the hop on hop off tour bus in Istanbul. After reading several bad reviews, I was worried about wasting a day touring. I am glad I ignored the bad reviews! It was a great experience for my group. And I really liked the bus feature of the retractable roof for the top deck. It really made a difference. Even with the heavy traffic, most of the busses were on schedule. Thank you.

It is very convenient to have the skip the line ticket as we arrived at 9am and walked straight in past a long line. The cistern is well worth a visit well presented.
