Overall rating

4.2
(121 reviews)

1. Variation of the activities are very wide. There's a lot to enjoy from guided tour, walk in activities, museum, and boat trip. A good value for money. 2. Guided tour is efficient and on time as the guide is only keeping us for the first minutes and after that we have our free time. 3. Customer service on whatsapp tries to be proactive to our questions and/or when we asked for help (much appreciated). 4. E-pass application really needs to be improved as we have downloaded the application in 3 different phones and the problem of not able to generate qr code for several activities persisted even internet and location systems are fully working. It is rather annoying when we have to keep asking and waiting for the support team to help generate our qr code because we couldn't do it ourselves. 5. Overall we are satisfied with the epass package we bought and the fast customer service help. We hope that the epass phone application can be improved for the future.

A very cost efficient way to see the highlights of Istanbul! The WhatsApp messaging was very convenient, promptly responsive team with any questions we may have had There was a snag getting picked up from the airport but after that everything was smooth sailing

Totally worth the money. We managed to catch every atteaction that was not discounted. Two passes for 3 days with good planning. Highly recommended to explore the city. Saved a lot of money, even with shuttle transfer to the airport.

a great experience that allows you to visit the city differently. a big saving of time and money. to book without hesitation

The card was already in the hotel when we arrived, worked perfectly and got us around Istanbul well 😀
