Good option for first-time travelers - My trip to Istanbul was short and I had no time to plan too much. With this pass, I just picked few things I wanted to see and it worked out fine. Easy to use, clear instructions, and many famous places are included. I didn’t visit everything, but I liked the flexibility.

Easy way to enjoy the city - Istanbul is full of places to visit and this pass really helped me. I didn’t join every activity but the ones I tried were smooth and enjoyable. Showed my QR code and got in, that simple. Especially helpful for popular sites where lines are long. No stress, no rush.

Very useful, but plan ahead - We use the Istanbul Tourist Pass during 4 days. It give us access to many attractions and help us save time. Some places were a bit confuse to find entrance, but we ask on whatsapp and they answer fast. Don’t try visit too much. This is better to plan your visits. We liked most Basilica Cistern and whirling dervishes.

Good deal if you like to explore a lot - The pass help us to enter many places without buy ticket every time. Some locations need you to show pass id, others scan qr code. We didn’t use everything but still feel we save money. Hagia Sophia was amazing, also I like the support on whatsapp. They help fast when I didn’t find location of one museum. Not everything easy but overall good service.

Worth the money - Istanbul is very rich in culture and this pass give us so much opportunity to explore. We visit several museums and also use Bosphorus ferry. Ticket system is working by QR and it is accepted everywhere. Some attractions need to plan in advance, but if you organize little, you can enjoy a lot. It help us save time and entrance fee. My family happy with this choice.

helpful pass - We were in Istanbul for first time and everything new for us. This pass really helped us to not feel lost. Many places to visit and most are free with the pass. App was working good, just need to activate before go to attraction. Support also answered our questions fast. Very nice experience and we are satisfied.

Best choice for tourists - The pass made things very simple for us. I didn’t know much about Istanbul before coming, but the app helped me a lot. It shows how to reach the places and what is included. We didn’t have to worry about buying tickets one by one. Just show the code and enter. It’s like a key to the city. I think for people who don’t speak Turkish, it’s also a good help.

Worked well but there are things you need to consider. - The pass worked very well. We got easy access to the attractions we booked. Just one word of warning: the advertising leads you to believe you can book unlimited attractions. In fact you buy a number of credits and can book attractions up to that value so you cannot book everything you might want to.

I wouldn't buy it back. - We bought the Tourist Pass for two days. It is not so easy to move and meet with the guides. Sometimes late (Torre Galata) and once did not wait and left ahead of time (Santa Sophia). Only the Basilica Cisterna guide was very good and also directed us to an online guide in Italian. the others instead did not propose it despite knowing that we struggled with English. In our opinion it is not convenient also because you are obliged to respect the scheduled driving times, while if you go independently you can enter at any time. Compared to the skip the line, in fact there is not because you still have to queue for security and in Torre Galata we waited an hour in line, after the delay of 15 minutes of driving. The only positive note is the Customer Service chat that in real time helps you if you contact it. very efficient
