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!

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 🤩

There was a massive crowd for ticket purchase, but no one waiting in the online queue. Buying these tickets on headout saved us probably an hour - in that time we got to see the cistern and head to other attractions. Cistern is definitely worth seeing, and online tickets to skip the queue are a must!

Whizzed through to the front of the queue with skip the line ticket. Managed to be the first inside and having that space to myself was an absolute pleasure. Put this place on your must visit list when in Istanbul it's amazing.

We enjoyed the 5 visits and the cruise, all works well. The delivery of the Istambul Kart made us lose a lot of time, because in the first day we gone to the Topkapi kiosk exclusively to receive our Istambul Kart as wright in the papers we received. They told us that now the point of delivery changed and we must go to the Dsign Café near Blue Mosque. Since we are going to Grand Bazar on foot it was not convenient to go there. In the afternoon we gone there exclusively to receive the card but no one from Megapasss was there. In next day we visited Topkapi Palace and at the kiosk they told us to go there after the visiting. At last we could have our Istambul Kart. This change was very inconvenient and Megappas should have told us about that alteration when we bought the Megapass.

It's an impressive site that still impresses me with its beauty. You can enter for free if you pray, but the security guards ask you to recite the Koran. My relatives have used this entrance. For my part, I found that the paying queue without a queue cutter was interminable. Under a blazing sun, I went to your site and took my ticket in less than 2 minutes. I then ran out as we were approaching closing time for the morning. Inside, I let my feelings carry me from one point of view to another. Everything is gigantic, and the experience gave me a great deal of peace despite the crowds. My relatives who had gone to pray were down below, and the rest of us visitors were up above. The quietude of the prayers was preserved.

I'm so glad I visited the Hagia Sophia – it's such a stunning and awe-inspiring site. The interior is incredibly intricate, and it's truly something you shouldn't miss. We were lucky to get in easily and avoid the crowds thanks to our pass. I’d recommend going in the afternoon when its quieter.

Jamia is a mix of Christianity and Islam. The ticket price is high for a 45-minute visit. The queues are too big for a ticket, on 2.may it was expected to be from two sets of tickets per ticket without a queue.

It is nice, a touristic place to know about how 2 different cultures were combined. Having the skip the line was great to avoid the purchase tickets lane and then the line to go inside. They have a free audio guide in Hagia Sophia, with free internet so don't buy any additional service for it, just make sure you bring your earphones.

There was no mention of a fast-track ticket. You just save yourself the trouble of buying a ticket on site. You still have to join the queue. A waiting time of around 30 minutes is not fast-track entry after all. Consolation: it's worth it though. The Hagia Sophia is well worth a visit.

Buying tickets in advance meant I didn't have to queue on the spot (but early in the morning the queue is moderate...) Negative point: the timetables provided by Headout are both contradictory and inutally worrying: in fact you can turn up at any time at the entrance with the QR code and... that's it (there's no guide provided anyway -- except your smartphone as long as it can access the network).

I was very disappointed. It is not a museum anymore, it is just a mosque now. Hagia Sophia was wonderful museum before, a unique combination of historical and cultural heritage. Now it is just a money machine for foolish foreigners, you can not see anything because the usual visitors paying to see nothing. Before I used to love going back. I will wait to turn to museum again before visit it again.
