The qr codes from the sent tickets were expired. I had to buy the new tickets, and spent 60€ for 2 ((((
30€ was way overpriced for this venue. Plus the 2€ for the 10-15 min ferry ride. Took a ferry to Prince Islands which is over an over boat ride and it was less than 3€. Don't waste time on this tour
By the way the QR codes of my tickets were never available on the application. I feel defrauded by you in good faith on this occasion
there some really good views for this experience nice cafe inside however, it could use more informative and engaging panels with the history, as i felt the value of this price point just to visit the tower was not worth it. Another way to make this a more enjoyable experience is to reduce the price slightly.

There is no separate line for skip the line until you get past the first Q so you simply walk to the front of the line where rep checks your bar code and directs you to a separate line. Inside was beautiful but I wish they would reduce the number of people at any given time to make it more peaceful and intimate.
The cistern is truly beautiful. The price of the ticket was very fair, and the skip the line feature was extremely helpful. Thank you!
The whole experience was WOW! The skip the line ticket was totally worth it. And the Basilica is so beautiful, different from everything I've seen. I loved it!
It was really easy to book the tickets. The app is very friendly and helpfull. We stay in line on the online row for about 10 minutes. The Basilica was very impressive , overall a great experience. You are doing so well so we decided to make a second reservation through the app.
Easy online booking. The queue cutter worked really well, saving us at least 30 minutes waiting time (in mid-season)! A lot of people inside, but the visit and site were sublime 🤩

The place is impressive (perhaps the most beautiful cistern in the world), but access is a bit slow. In the end, carrying a pre-paid ticket hardly saves you any time.

Incredible place. I wish i could be there alone.
It was beautiful. So easy to get through as we'd bought our tickets in advance. Really lovely to walk around, absolutely stunning and really interesting
Skip the queue was still busy and guess what you still had to queue but it moved quite quickly. We did visit on Saturday so it's what we excepted.
Overpriced for what it is. Interesting experience and amazing that they were developed. Very easy walk as there are metal grills underfoot everywhere.
I had no problems in particular, the online booking and admission went very well and everything is handled very well, the attraction is exactly what it is supposed to be and is apparently maintained well. Nothing to recriminate. THE PRICE IS MEANINGLESS! I am not even going to mention the amount of places that exist in the world that cost less than half as much and have a cultural heritage to offer incomparable with tanks you had lost memory of for centuries. If the price were fair, no one would feel mocked by losing confidence in the whole country.
The audio guide was included in the price at the ticket office but via app was not received and the ticket office staff blamed the app

The tour is very good. But the traffic is horrible and sometimes the narration of the sites goes ahead of the route. You have to "reset" the narration and follow the route.

The cistern itself was an amazing piece if engineering considering its age. I had been there the previous day without a booked ticket and decided the queue was too long and I would not be able to enter in time. I had booked the ticket and went early the next morning andf went straight in, although the queue to pay was not very long.
Hello, I bought 3 tickets via Headout. For 2 of them (Cistern Basilica and St Sophia Basilica), no problems. The tickets worked properly and we didn't waste any time at the entrance. For the ticket to the Palis de Topkapi, we lost 1 hour because of the voucher to be redeemed and because of the wait for the group. Between 9 and 10 a.m., there was no wait at the ticket offices to buy the ticket, nor at the entrance to the Palace. We would have been better off not buying a "coupe-file" ticket. Sincerely, H .Gay

Loved visiting here and was worth it, however it was a bit confusing to know which was skip the line queue since there were no signs of "online booking only". It would be great if it was clear because we waited in the first line until we found out there was a different queue for those who booked online (which was longer btw)
