★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7,233 reviews · 4 to 5 hours (approx.) · from $29Our pick

Travel from Kusadasi Port with a licensed guide to Mary's House, Ephesus, and the Temple of Artemis. The 4 to 5 hour tour includes entry tickets when that option is selected, a Turkish lunch, and ship-friendly timing. Expect a small group or private vehicle, with guides such as Funda, Isik, Riza, and Onur available depending on the date.

“Excellent private tour with knowledgable and gracious guide. The only downside was the tour of a facility where Turkish carpets are made. Avoid this unless you enjoy "time share" type high pressure sales pitches.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 3,977 reviews · from $61

Meet an English-speaking host near Topkapi Palace’s main gate, pass the ticket lines, and enter both the palace and Harem Museum.

Plan at least two hours, and stay longer if you can.

“The palace is incredibly extensive. Each room had something different to see and learn about. The gardens are beautiful. Queues to the treasury were way too long so we had to miss that. Our guide had too many people with him and we nearly got left behind. He needs a better pole with a flag instead of his black umbrella. But he was very helpful and informative. We highly recommend this experience, just give yourself a full day to see everything and appreciate the splendor properly. You won't be disappointed.Read more”

Kaan our guide did such a fabulous job explaining to us the history of the Mosques, even my husband who was hesitant about doing the tour ended up likeing it and learning the history of each Mosque. Thank you Kaan for being such a good guide would highly recommend you to anyone who wishes to use your tour company.”

We were lucky to have Burga as our tour guide—he was fun and engaging from the moment we met him. Our group included a 13-year-old boy, and Burga made sure he stayed interested and entertained throughout the tour. There wasn’t much to see at the House of Mary, but the Ephesus ruins were absolutely amazing—so vast and full of history. Be prepared for a lot of walking! We ended the day with a visit to a rug factory, which was interesting to see, though I personally would have preferred to spend…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,469 reviews · 1 day · from $41

Visit Hagia Sophia independently with a QR-code ticket and English digital audio guide. Enter through the tourist entrance near Topkapi Palace, then see the upper galleries, dome, mosaics, Islamic calligraphy, and historic details at your own pace. Ground-floor prayer-hall access is not included for foreign visitors.

“I cannot recommend this skip the line prepurchase ticket enough. I also highly recommend booking the first time slot (9:00AM) for the Hagia Sophia. If we hadn't pre-purchased these tickets on GYG, we would have waited at least an hour (probably longer) just to purchase tickets in the ticket line, and would have waited even longer after that to get through security and finally be admitted. If you are a first time visitor on a short trip to Istanbul and can't afford to lose hours waiting in lines, etc. you should definitely consider prepurchasing these tickets.”
