Σόνια Παλαιοθοδώρου

Me with my friends had a very nice and interesting tour in Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern on Friday 25/10. For visitors who really want to learn something more than the touristic surface of the city, I think this tour is a very good choice. Especially Arda, our guide, was helpful and contributed very much on this. He fully answered in all the questions and gave us "food for thought". Informations that make you wanna search and learn more about history. He is the kind of guides, that any tour agency must have! Friendly and full of knowledge. Thanks Arda!

Melisa Canel

Amazing tour! the guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the Sultanahmet Cami, Basilica Cistern and Hagia Sofia. They are an amazing guide and I would recommend them to anyone.

Ahmed Mustafa

I had an amazing experience with MegaPass in Istanbul. Their staff was extremely professional and organized. Cansin (one of the employees) was especially helpful with making sure we didn’t miss anything and making it a pleasant experience for us. It was great to skip the lines which were long and we got to see all the historic places (Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern among others). Highly recommend for anyone visiting Istanbul.

Alejandro Yanes

Talha was very profesional and very quickly to help us out, going even the extra mile so we could get our tickets with extra time to get familiar with the process, excellent costumer service

Анна Базовкина

Проживаю в Стамбуле и из года в год пользуюсь услугами туроператора MegaPass . По моему мнению - они лучшие! Классные туры, супер профессиональные гиды, очень интересные небанальные программы развлечений для туристов. Плюс полная гарантия соответствия цена - качество. Все мои гости по приезду в Стамбул ходят на экскурсии MegaPass и все всегда в восторге. Harikasınız !!

great guide

Ken Davis

Had an excellent tour of the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and the Hagia Sophia. Our tour guide Buse was funny, knowledgeable and charming. She made the experience much more enjoyable!🙏🏾 A great way to see the sights while avoiding queues. Highly recommended.

Mélissa Herbst

We had a 3h tour guide on 12.06.24 at 10am (Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, Cistern Basilica) with Buse, who we highly recommend. She is passionate, sweet, and very patient. She was answering all of my questions, and it was a great exchange. Our group was roughly 15px and it was easy to follow her and listen to her. Buse: please keep your energy and passion 😘

Emma Ryokou

Thanks so much for providing so much detailed information about the history of each site and monument🤙🏼 I had a great time and learnt a lot. Thankful for your patience with the group. Sorry for drifting off at the cistern 🥺

Excellent!

Горан Дукић

Our guide  was very knowledgeable, witty, and well-organized. He showed us a lot of hidden gems inside Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia. Our guide kept the focus of the group by asking some basic questions about the history and culture of the monuments we were visiting. This participation and interaction elevated the whole experience to another level.

Güldeniz durmuş

Megapass is a good option for istanbul. They sent our ticket before we arrive and also we were offered guided tours. We visited Hagia Sophia Basilica Cistern and Blue Mosque. The team was very nice and tour guide was knowledgeable. For some tours we prefered guided tour but for some we used only ticket. Nice options !!!!

Katherine Hultman

We booked an incredible skip-the-line tour to the beautiful and iconic Hagia Sophia. This included an hour tour of the area around the mosque, as the tour guide could not come inside with us. We loved learning about the history of the sights around us and the mosque itself. There is an audio guide to listen to as you go through the mosque that comes with the tour. Our guide was very fun and knowledgeable, and taught us things we weren’t expecting. He was very vibrant and clearly knew a lot about the city with some fun facts and tidbits we couldn’t have gotten from anyone else! Highly recommend !!!!!!!!!!

Lucia SC

Guide fue nuestro guía y tuvimos una experiencia fabulosa. Nos pareció superentretenido. Además, fue muy amable con nosotras en todo momento. Un 10.

Zoltán

We got the online tickets to the e-mail right after purchase. We did a mistake since we selected improper date, but when I got contact to the customer service via WhatsApp, they modified the service date immediately. The tickets themselves weren’t cheaper than the normal gate price, but we could skip the huge lines, which was a big advantage. We visited the very beautifulTopkapi palace, it needed at least 3 hours to see everything very quickly, the cistern needed only 30 mins, but it was also very beautiful!. I recommend everyone to buy megapass!

Mohammed Abdin

Smooth communication and excellent service!

Fabio Di Fiore

Dóra Takács

We had a lovely tour around the Basilica Cistern with Buse. She was well prepared and very informative. She answered every question diligently about the cistern and she even gave us recommendations. Every tour guide should be like her.

Brilliant! Knowledgeable, entertaining & funny. Brought The Basilica Cistern to life. 

Bobin Cherian

The group was mindful to split the large group into 2 to give the best experience for everyone to be able to keep up with the tour. Cenker was a very knowledgeable guide and had lots of history to share and ensured everyone felt safe.

Samet Akbulut

I recently had an amazing experience with MegaPass in Istanbul! Their knowledgeable guides and well-organized tours made exploring the city's rich history and vibrant culture a breeze. From the breathtaking Hagia Sophia to the bustling Basilica Cistern, every detail was thoughtfully planned, ensuring an unforgettable trip. It was great to skip the lines which was quite long. Highly recommend for anyone looking to discover the best of Istanbul!

Sanjeev Misra

Very nice tour. Loved all the details and the pace of the tour.

Sandra Fricke

Die Tour hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die blaue Moschee hat uns sehr gut gefallen und ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert. Ein besonderes Highlight war unser Tourguide, der uns auf sehr witzige und charmante Weise die Details der Moschee näher gebracht hat und einiges Wissenswertes über den Islam an sich erzählt hat. Vielen Dank dafür!

Anneleen Gabriels

Wij hebben een fantastische dag gehad met onze gids Arda. Het was heel fijn om Istanbul door de ogen van de bewoners te leren kennen. De staff was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het was zeer de moeite waard en de tour was uiteindelijk voordeliger dan wanneer we alle bezienswaardigheden op onszelf zouden hebben bezocht.

Z Minhas

Guide team did very good job with the tour

Sevilia Gilbert

Дуже сподобалась організіція турів в Стамбулі. Спочатку, в нас був тур з гидом по історичній площі Султанахмет, наступного дня Круїз Босфором. Команда дуже ввічлива і професійна. За 2 дні летимо до Кападокії і деякі наші тури там організовані тур. агенцією Megapass.

L. M.

Our guide was unavailable and they volunteered to give our group a tour of the blue mosque. they told us the story about the mosque in a vibrant way and was very happy to answer all our questions. It was really great!

Natacha Antoinette

Buse was our guide at Basilica Cistern yesterday. She is great, knows her topic. Also, she assisted us to find our tickets we bought online but didn’t receive by email.

Danijel Gluvakovic

Our guide was great, openmined, friendly and knowladgeable. We recommande!

Jose

The place is very beautiful and impressive. No question about that. However the lack of organization is remarkable. I think that they allow more people inside than the amount it's convenient. The result is people pushing, running you over, passing you from everywhere... Very stressful from my point of view. Only worth it because it's unique.

Amy

Site is easy to use. I received my tickets almost instantly... save lot if line up time ... thanks

sean bickerton

Guide was great 👍 from headout

SOOMIN WEE

good

Audrey

Very fast booking online, you skip all the queue. Have access to guide with your phone (audio not working in the basilic but you can read the text). No scam! I really recommend you this site.

Luca Attanà

The tour guide was a great guide.

Luca

The audio guide for Topkapi does not include the Harem tour (included in the ticket) The Blu Mosque guided tour is fine: maybe a more basic English speech will help not-native English tourists

Ekaterina

My friends and I spent 5 days in Istanbul and bought the cheapest megapass. It was enough for a quiet leisurely walk. We visited two palaces and took a Bosphorus tour. We liked everything, except that the ship was too crowded with people, there was not enough space on the second floor. But this did not spoil our trip, we enjoyed the views from the back deck, and on the way back we drank beer on the first floor. The instructions were clear, the line at the blue kiosk was not long, and everyone spoke excellent English.

Paola

I bought the 7-day Mega Pass for two major attractions and found it was a great deal. I selected the Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace, but what was great was the other sites included in the Pass, which were the Blue Mosque guided tour (our guide was awesome and hilarious!) and the Bosphorus Boat tour, which, though a bit overcrowded was still a blast and beautiful, and also five passes to take public transport The total cost was 98 Euros but considering what each ticket would have cost had I purchased separately, I believe I would have paid the same if not more, with a lot more hassle. Here everything was in one place and very comprehensive. This is the second city I have purchased Mega Pass in and would gladly do it again!

Jamie Kelly

We went to the Blue Mosque, the Bascilica Cistern and Hagia Sophia. I highly recommend this tour.

Santiago Toranzo Nieto

Amazing guide!

Francisco Graffigna

Nice tour with kind, motivated and informed tourists guides.

Kim

We enjoyed the package 

Carolin

Great to get better value combined pass for a great heritage palce with multiple attractions. . All heritage attraction were fabulus and evening boat trip was wonderful going out in daylight, with sunset aura and returning with glimmering lights of the edges of the Boshoporus Straits.

Agata Sagone

olağanüstü rehber! Çok nazik ve çok iyi. Şiddetle tavsiye edilir Zehra and Arda Grazie

isabelle

Malgré quelques problèmes pour avoir tous mes billets, c'était vraiment pratique. Pas de queue à faire pour entrer dans les lieux choisis.

Janet

Megapass for Istanbul saved us time and money and I would use again!!

Lawrence

The pass covers the popular activities, but some of them require you to go to a stall and wait for a guide who takes a large group to the gate. 

L W Bysh

We were pleased with our card: it gave us access to all the places we wanted to see, and really valuable in enabling us to skip the queues. 

frederique

Très pratique, les personnes qui s’occupent du megapass sont hyper réactifs pour vous aider, hyper facile à gérer (c était une 1ere pour moi et un peu inquiète) ppur les lieux de rendez-vous c’est toujours à côté des monuments, les coupe file sont indispensables, car cela evite au moins les longues quêtes pour acheter le billet car après il y a la longue queue pour les contrôles, plus une petite économie..je recommande vivement

FERNANDO

Gracias por mejorarme el viaje a Estambul. Con el MegaPass pudimos conocer mucho mejor la ciudad por la gran selección de visitas incluidas en el.

ANDREAS

Overall, the MegaPass market was a satisfactory purchase. Its great advantage is that you avoid queues for tickets at every attraction. The only problem noticed was the not so good recorded tour that accompanies some of the tickets. The communication with the headquarters, through "whats app", to solve a problem that occurred during the tour was fast and satisfactory, so that no problem was created in the planning of our tours.

rita

Acquisto facile, facile utilizzo. Ottimo sito per i biglietti online, lo raccomando

Charlotte

Really enjoyed avoiding the long files of visitors waiting to buy tickets and the price was very interesting as well as the activities .

Dominique

Saved so much time and covered everything we came to see. Guide for Blue Mosque was also lovely

Geoff

Very handy to have all tickets in advance. However some were valid via the QR code alone whilst others needed to be converted into a paper ticket at a different place from the venue in question, which was not always convenient. But overall I'm glad I bought the Megapasss.

Wayne

Çoğunlukla, Mega Pass bize İstanbul'u keşfetmek için bir platform sağlama amacına hizmet etti. Sultanahmet Camii ortalama bir yerdi. Ancak rehberimiz harikaydı, grubunu eğlendirdi. Ancak adil olmak gerekirse, 20 yılı aşkın bir süredir Orta Doğu'da yaşıyoruz ve Abu Dabi'deki Ulu Camii'yi ziyaret ettik. Aksi takdirde Mega Pass bizim için işe yaradı.

Till Weinrich

Great guide!

Ikram

Meilleur agence touristique à istanbul, le guide est très sympa et il a nous très bien expliqué

Lana

Your service was exilent.

Francois

Very good moment

chanel carca

J'ai choisi le pass Deluxe, il est vraiment complet et les attractions proposées valent réellement un grand intérêt. Je recommande fortement l'achat de ce pass avec megapass. Tout est super bien expliqué dans les vouchers reçus et le service washapp est au top. J'ai eu à modifier les dates de certaines visites, le service a été super réactif et m'a donné satisfaction. Vous pouvez l'acheter vous ne serez pas déçus!

Carmela

Ottimo pacchetto. Completo ben organizzato. La guida nella Moschea blu (Ali) è stato veramente bravo. Le audioguide vanno scadute prima di entrare

Rita Spies

We felt very well taken care of and we learned a lot!

Elena Solo

Наша поездка с MegaPass превзошла все ожидания! От начала до конца всё было организовано на высшем уровне. Приятно удивили профессионализм и внимание к деталям. Мы отправились в тур и всё прошло гладко, от подбора отелей до экскурсий. Гид был настоящим профессионалом — интересные рассказы, забота о группе и искреннее желание сделать наш отдых незабываемым. Отдельно хочу отметить удобство в общении и поддержку на всех этапах путешествия. Учитывая то, что я живу в другом городе, чувствовалось, что мы в надежных руках, и это позволило нам полностью расслабиться и наслаждаться отпуском. Определенно будем обращаться снова и рекомендовать друзьям! Огромное спасибо команде MegaPass за незабываемое путешествие!

Mouad LAHARCH

Very nice visit, we really appreciated cenker’s sharp sens of history and fun

T M

A wonderful tour of the blue mosque with Haluk. He skillfully weaved together historical facts, personal anecdotes, and cultural insights, bringing the mosque's rich history to life. We left the mosque with a much greater appreciation for its beauty, significance, and place in Istanbul's history.

V Sarah

The tour was very good, our the Guide . We went to the Hagia Sophia, Basicilica Cistern and the Blue Mosque.

Die Führung in der blauen Moschee war sehr interessant und informativ. Die gewählten Attraktionen waren problemlos zu besuchen, nur die Kreuzfahrt auf dem Bosporus war etwas lieblos durchgeführt. Insgesamt ist das Angebot aber gut.

Rita Bruno Soares
