Skip-the-line tickets to the Istanbul Archaeology Museums allow you to enter faster without purchasing tickets on the spot, but you may have to wait in line for ticket validation and mandatory security checks. Admission includes the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of the Ancient Orient, and the Museum of Islamic Art.

Hagia Sophia is a functioning mosque, so there are special rules for visitors with free admission. Women are not allowed outside the women's and visitor area and some parts of the mosque are closed to non-Muslims during prayer hours. All visitors must undergo mandatory security checks and adhere to mosque etiquette, which includes a modest dress (head scarves for women only; covered shoulders and knees, no hats and shoes for men and women).

The 4,5 and 5,5-hour options include approximately a 1,5-hour transfer time between the meeting point and the accommodation address provided when booking. Please note that the transfer time quoted is for information purposes only and may take longer or shorter depending on the distance and traffic.

We will arrange private transfers in a standard car (sedan) for groups of 1-4 people, and in a larger van or minibus for groups of 5 people and more. If you're traveling in a smaller group but want to travel in a more spacious car, we recommend booking a 5-people tour to take advantage of a larger vehicle.

For the convenience of all guests, it is best to have 1 licensed guide per maximum of 25 guests. The price of the tour will be higher if you need more than 1 guide.
