Please meet your guide in front of the Fountain of Sultan Ahmed III at least 15 minutes before your tour starts. Your guide will be holding a white flag with the Istanbul Tourist Pass® and will walk with you to the Topkapi Palace entrance, which is just 1 minute away. After meeting your guide, you will enter Topkapi Palace together, and your guide will provide a 20-minute highlights tour. After that, you can explore Topkapi Palace on your own. To join the Topkapi Palace Hosted Entry and Highlights Tour, you can join one of the 20-minute tours. Topkapi Palace is closed on Tuesdays. Please note that some sections of Topkapi Palace are temporarily closed, including the Outer Treasury (Weapon Collection), parts of the Matbah-i Amir Kitchen Complex, and the Petition Chamber / Audience Hall. All other areas remain open to visitors.

The Hagia Sophia tour does not offer hosted entry and highlights tour. You can explore individually with a professionally prepared audio guide. Please note that restoration work is ongoing at Hagia Sophia, so some areas may be temporarily closed during your visit. Closures may change depending on the work inside. You can visit the Hagia Sophia individually from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
