Skip the ticket lines at Topkapi Palace and the Harem with a guide and headsets. Get the Ottoman court story fast in 3 hours.

“The guide was excellent. Very knowledgable, very engaging, very likeable personality. After tour was finished he gave us really good advice on what else we could see by ourselves. Ideal that we were left in the grounds to take as long as we liked to see more of the palace complex. Ideal size of group at 14. Descriptions stated small group with max of 14 and good to see that is exactly what we got. There is so much to see in the Topkapi Palace complex that you really need to dedicate most of the day to it so this single attraction tour was ideal and great value for money.”
