Ekim was an amazing guide
Ekim was an amazing guide. She answered every question we had and also helped people who couldn't clearly understand English as well. She was also funny but also professional The tour itself is nice, it is not tiring and the ear pieces help a lot since it is a highly crowded place to be with a group. Overall good tour.

Excellent Value and Outstanding Support for a Solo Female Traveler
As a solo female traveler, I would like to share my experience with the Istanbul Tourist Pass because it may help someone when making a decision.
I used it on March 16, 2026, for just one day, and even though I explored everything at my own slow pace, without rushing from place to place, I still managed to see and experience a lot. For me, the pass proved to be completely worth it.
Before buying it, I looked into other options as well, but after quite a lot of comparing, I chose the Istanbul Tourist Pass and I did not regret it. What I understood, and what I can now confirm as a user, is that it is especially important to have a good plan, calculate your transfer times realistically, make your reservations on time, and not be late. Once that part is done, everything else works very smoothly and easily.
My choices for that day were breakfast on Le Vapeur Magique, Topkapi Palace with the Harem, Galata Tower, and the evening Bosphorus cruise with dinner and Turkish entertainment on Tosunpaşa. Everything went smoothly and exactly according to the instructions in the app.
What I especially want to highlight is the kindness and attention I experienced throughout the day. On Le Vapeur Magique, my phone battery died, so I asked the staff for help. They took my phone to charge it, found me on the guest list, and seated me by the window. At Topkapi, they kindly helped me set up the audio guide, and at Galata everything was simple, punctual, and well organized.
On the evening cruise on Tosunpaşa, as a woman traveling solo, I was treated with great care. They allowed me to board earlier, offered me hot tea, and seated me at a window table so I would not be sitting alone among couples and groups. What perhaps meant the most to me was that Istanbul Tourist Pass support even called me when I did not appear at the agreed meeting point, not knowing that I had already boarded earlier. That feeling of care and attention was truly priceless to me.
In my estimate, the savings for one day across these four experiences were around 50 euros. But even more valuable than the money saved was the feeling that, as a solo female traveler, nowhere did I feel like just a number, and nowhere did I feel alone.
That is why I can sincerely recommend the Istanbul Tourist Pass, especially to those who appreciate good organization, clear instructions, and the feeling that there is a team behind it that truly cares about its guests.
Looks good on paper, disappointing in reality – misleading and inflexible
I bought the 5-Day Istanbul Tourist Pass because the website sells a dream:
phrases like “One Pass – All Istanbul” and “Instant free entry to 100+ attractions” clearly create the impression that, within those 5 days, you can freely choose from a huge range of attractions and that the only real limit is your time.
The reality is very different.
Only after paying did I discover that the pass is restricted by a credit system and by limited availability / advance bookings. That radically changes how the product works in practice. I wanted to visit around 25 attractions during my stay. Because of credits and capacity limits, I could only do about half of what I had planned, even though I had a 5‑day pass and was actively trying to use it.
When I raised this with Istanbul Tourist Pass, their answer was basically:
“Look, you saved over 40% compared to our listed individual prices, so everything is fine.”
This completely misses the point:
I would never have bought all of these attractions separately at the inflated “standard prices” they use in their calculation.
The “40% saving” is a theoretical number, based on a basket I did not choose freely and on prices that are higher than what many people can find online.
What I actually paid for, based on their marketing, was the freedom to choose from many attractions, not to be forced into a specific combination just so the math looks good in their favour.
In my case, the main loss is not money, but lost opportunities:
I came to Istanbul ready to explore a lot more, but the pass structure (credits + fully booked attractions + required advance reservations) simply did not allow me to visit everything I reasonably expected to be able to see with a “5-Day, 100+ attractions” pass.
What bothers me most is that the company does not show any recognition of this problem. They don’t acknowledge that the marketing can mislead people into thinking this is a near “all-you-can-visit” product. They just repeat the same argument about how much I “saved” on the subset of attractions I managed to access.
If you are the kind of traveler who wants flexibility and real choice, be very careful:
Read all the small print about credits and booking requirements before you buy.
Don’t assume that “One Pass – All Istanbul” means what it sounds like.
And don’t expect much understanding from customer service if you feel the product did not match the expectations their own marketing created.
Istanbul is amazing and worth visiting – but I would not choose this pass again.
Istanbul pass: ITP1774?????722
Skip the queue but at given times. Topkapi does not include harem
(+) Convenient to skip the queue and get a short introduction from the guide to the monument using a mobile app
(-) You may believe that the pass gives you a QR code to access the attraction, but for the most popular attractions you need to be at a certain time to meet the guide and he activates the QR code. There are several times to visit the main attractions in a day
(-) Topkapi visit does NOT include the Harem, You are asked to pay an extra 15EUR (Dec 2025) to see that. Not clear in the e-pass website that this is a restricted access

The pass made our trip easier
The pass made our trip easier. We got into places without waiting, and the support team was super helpful when we had a couple of questions.
highli recommended
My friend and I used this Pass and it honestly transformed our trip. In a chaotic city like Istanbul, their clear instructions, quick WhatsApp replies, and friendly hosts made everything feel calm and easy. We walked right into Hagia Sophia and Topkapı without the long waits, then even squeezed a sunset cruise into our last evening, best decision of the trip. I’m writing to thank the team personally: you saved us time, stress, and a few arguments. We saw more, worried less, and enjoyed the city the way we hoped to. Highly recommended.
Easy to use and very convenient
I used this pass during my stay in Istanbul and it worked very well. Most attractions accepted the QR code with no problem. I liked how I could visit museums without standing in line. Also, customer support answered my questions quickly on WhatsApp. It saved me both time and money.
Scam
I ordered pass on 20.06.2025, by that time e sim. Now they say it is not longer available. That's it nothing instead. No refund. No apologies.

This is close to a scam
This is close to a scam. They overcharged by 20 % converting to NOK, even if I asked for charge in euros. The e-sim that should be in the package was not available. The app requires stable internet all the time, without, it fails and you need wifi again to show reservations. They changed meeting point, no message in app, but you got a mail. At one venue guide did not turn up at all, and we missed the venue.
