Final general review from a family-of-five perspective: we had a genuinely good Istanbul trip and the pass was a central part of why. Over seven days we did probably fifteen different activities on the pass, used the audio guide at most of the museums, took three guided tours, and contacted support a handful of times. Every part of the pass worked. The app didn't crash, the QR scanned at every gate, the tour guides were good, the audio guide was reliable, and the support was prompt and useful. That's all you can ask of a travel product. For a family with kids specifically, I'd single out the combination of variety and reliability as the main benefit. You want enough to do without any of it going wrong, and the pass delivered that. We'll use it again on a return trip and we're already recommending it to other families we know planning Istanbul trips. Good product, good trip, good memories. That's the summary.
Istanbul Tourist Pass is absolutely incredible! We purchased the five day pass and absolutely got our moneys worth. Our favorite activities were Dolmabahçe Palace, the dinner cruise, and Hagia Sofia.
Our general impression of the pass matches our general impression of the trip: good. My husband and I are not easy customers and this one didn't give us anything to complain about. The pass did what a good tourist product should do: made the trip easier, didn't overpromise, didn't overcharge, and worked reliably across a full week of heavy use. For older travellers I'd recommend it without reservation. It's the kind of product that earns repeat use, which is the best compliment you can give any travel purchase.
Good way to explore Istanbul, we went to the main attraction points with the pass, the best bit is it allows you to jump all the big queue. It saves a lot of time and energy! Highly recommended.
This was my second Istanbul trip using the pass and my third overall. Both pass-using trips were better than the one I did DIY. That's the cleanest version of the value argument. I'll keep using it on future trips. Recommend to anyone returning to Istanbul who wants to skip the ticketing hassle.
We took the Istanbul pass for three days and everything worked perfectly. When we hesitated, customer service was always available via WhatsApp and responded quickly. Great value for the price paid.
Good trip. Good pass. I'm aware those are vague phrases so let me qualify: the pass was the tool I used most often during my trip, it never failed on me, the included experiences were genuinely worth it, and the overall effect on the trip was strongly positive. That's the summary a solo traveller would want to read before deciding. There aren't hidden gotchas. The product delivers what it advertises. For a traveller who's been burned by travel-product over-promises before, this is a reliable choice. Recommend it.
Very happy that we made the decision to purchase this pass. We have already enjoyed the Prince's Lunch Cruise and the Galata Towers. Will be recommending others to use this tour pass.
Compact review for business travellers: the pass is worth buying for trips with any real tourism component. It saves time, costs less than individual tickets, and handles the admin. If your free time is limited you'll appreciate the time savings more than the cost savings. Either way, buy it.
What a fantastic experience! I had a delightful insight into Turkish culture - the cuisine, the traditional dances and clothing, and most importantly, the service was second to none.
The pass was the right tool for my kind of trip. Budget, solo, a week in the city, flexibility required. It delivered on all four. I saw the big sites without paying full price individually, had access to smaller attractions I wouldn't have bothered with otherwise, and didn't get burned on any of the included experiences. The app was reliable enough for me to default to it even on days I was tired. For backpackers choosing between pass options for Istanbul, this is the one I'd pick. Good enough that I'll look for the equivalent in other cities I visit.
Had a great time on the cruise dinner. Food was okay but the overall vibe was off the charts. All performances were really good and engaging. The service was great too.
Short trip, limited time, high expectations. The pass helped us meet those expectations without turning the week into a logistics project. For couples who want to enjoy a city rather than manage it, the pass is the right purchase. We saw what we wanted, did a couple of extra things we hadn't planned, and came home with good memories rather than tired feet. Not the flashiest travel product but a reliable one, which in the tourist-pass category is actually rare. I'd buy it again and I'd tell friends to do the same if they're planning an Istanbul trip.
I love the show, dance, amazing view and good food. You can feel yourself comfortable and calm. I recommend everyone to come here. Really good experience!
Group experience: positive. Pass experience: positive. Overall trip experience: positive. Group trips are hard to get right and this one went well partly because the pass smoothed out the logistics. Would recommend for groups. Easy recommendation.
The dinner cruise was excellent! Good food with good vibes. Unmatched experience. Highly recommended.
Family of four, we had a great trip. The pass was useful throughout. Ticketing, activities, support, all good. I don't have a single criticism to offer. That's rare for any travel product. Would recommend to other families and will use it on any return trip.
My friend and I absolutely loved this evening cruise — it was such a special experience. The program was truly engaging, the food was delicious, and the service was impressively quick.
I want to leave a general-impression review because a lot of the specifics are covered elsewhere. The overall picture: good trip, good product, would use again. As a solo traveller I used the pass for most of my daily attractions over a five-day visit. The specifics worked well — ticketing, audio guide, a couple of guided tours, one support interaction. The general-purpose feel of the pass is what I want to flag here. It's not a product that imposes a style on your trip. You can use it heavily, lightly, or as a default fallback. It adapts. For solo travellers who want flexibility without losing structure, that adaptability is the main selling point. I wrote about specific features in other contexts but want to state the overall impression here: a reliable, flexible, pleasant product for a first or repeat solo visit. I'd pick it up again without hesitation. Sometimes the right summary is just 'it worked.' That's the review.
Skip the queue was fabulous at the Hagia Sofia and the Basilica Cistern and really worth the money. We were dancing as we skipped the long queues!
Satisfied. My husband and I used the pass for our eight-day trip and it functioned as the central organising tool without being intrusive. Every ticketing interaction worked, the audio guide was good, the support line was available and useful when we had a small question. We did more than we'd initially planned because the pass made trying additional attractions easy. For older travellers looking for a reliable product that doesn't require tech-savvy to use well, this is the right choice. The app is simple enough for us to use without help. The pass is durable enough that we trust it for the full trip. Good overall product.
This pass works pretty well and helps you design a good 5-7 day itinerary. It will cover costs for some items and the guides are really helpful for you to get around.

Past visits to Istanbul had always involved some amount of ticketing hassle. This trip I used the pass and the hassle was gone. That's the single biggest improvement I could name between this trip and previous ones. The rest of the city is still the city — the pass doesn't make Istanbul more or less interesting — but the logistics are notably smoother. For repeat visitors that alone justifies the purchase. I'd tell anyone planning a third or fourth visit to Istanbul that the pass is the right ticketing tool and that they should stop pretending DIY is easier. It isn't. Source: me, three trips of trying both approaches.
Definitely recommend! I purchased my tickets 20 minutes before arriving and there wasn't a problem with getting inside. I skipped the way of people who didn't have tickets.
Quiet, efficient, reliable. That's the review. On a short business-plus-leisure trip the pass does what you need — ticketing, some guided options, support if things go sideways. It didn't go sideways but I would have been happy if it had, knowing the support was good. For business travellers weighing whether to bother with a tourist pass at all, the answer here is yes, pick the tier that matches your free time and don't over-think it. The value is real and the friction is low. That's the right combination.
Everything very nice, I was enjoyed. I highly recommend!
Simple review: the pass helped make the trip better. Couple's first visit to Istanbul, smooth week, no major issues, lots of good experiences. The pass was a meaningful contributor. Would use again on a return visit or recommend to friends planning their first trip.
Our guide was excellent — knowledgeable, friendly, and very attentive throughout the tour. The experience was smooth, well-organized, and much more enjoyable thanks to their guidance.
Thanks to TuristPass I was able to enter with the tour guide who told us about historical places in the city. It is worth buying a ticket for this app. Super recommended!
We've just completed our tour in Istanbul and our experience with Tourist Pass was truly excellent. Each guide was knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly friendly. We recommend without hesitation.
We are very pleased with our pass. The best is the fast response we get when we have questions. We saw many attractions in 2 days — Topkapi, Hagia Sophia, Cistern Basilica, Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar.
This was my first time in Turkiye and Istanbul is very big city. I get the pass because my friend tell me it's useful. Easy to use after you understand how app works.
After doing our calculations, we saw that it's a better deal to buy the Istanbul Tourist Pass for 4 days, instead of paying the admission fees. Even if your credits are consumed, you can still visit more attractions.
Great app, user friendly! The staff was very helpful even when I made mistakes. They responded very fast on WhatsApp and made the necessary adjustments. I can only offer 5 stars!
Martin was our guide and he is very recommended. He explained a lot of interesting things. Guide's recommendation was to show earlier as to enjoy the tour better.
We visited the palace with Martin, finding the meeting point is easy, the app has the necessary guide, nice and helpful.
While in Istanbul for 10 days, we opted for the Istanbul Tourist Pass 7 days option. We were delighted — our pass was very quickly profitable. Congratulations to the entire team!
These guys are the best! Anytime, any problem we had, they were available and solved the problem right away! Thanks to them, my cousin and I had a fantastic time!
Everything was perfectly prepared. We were warmly welcomed, well served, the food was good and the shows really special. We had a very nice evening.
Breakfast at Le Vapeur Magique is very nice, typical Turkish coffee, very delicious! It is super worth taking a while to enjoy this tour!
Thank you so much ITP for providing a fantastic package of attractions. I will always love this city! I will spread the news on how great ITP is to everyone I know.
We passed a wonderful week in Istanbul with the Istanbul Tourist Pass. We discovered many places, monuments, the aquarium, the cruise dinner and the trip to the Princes' Islands.
I was amazed by Hagia Sophia and Basilica Cistern. Using the pass was very practical — you can enter all places by showing your QR. I definitely recommend!
