Epass is the perfect place to visit Istanbul.

This epass is fantastic, it's all in 1. You do not need waiting time at the ticket stores, just be present at the meeting points to be able to visit the sites with guides, except in the Dolmabahçe, where we have an audio guide and we can visit the palace at our own pace. We also enjoy the dinner plus show on a phosphorus cruise. More Dervix show, museum of illusionism among other things. Customer support via WhatsApp is very good and fast. This Pass is excellent.

Great for first-time visitors.

We bought the 5-day E pass for our first visit to Istanbul. Having the pass really helped us with planning our itinerary and choosing activities and sights for our time in the city. You have to be on time for the guided tours, but that gave us clarity on planning our timings for each day. Some of the tours were more detailed than others. The Topkapi Palace one was particularly good and detailed, and lasted a long time, whereas others were just a shorter introduction before you went inside (eg Blue Mosque). But it was always helpful to get that extra context about the sites, and most of the time the E pass allowed us to skip the queues. We saw the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi (including Hagia Irene), Chora Museum (Kariye Mosque), Dolmabahce Palace, and Basilica Cistern. We also took some of the evening boat trips and went to the musical (which was fine as it was free with our pass but wouldn’t have been worth the ticket price if I’d had to pay to see it). And we used the free bus from the airport. We did the sums and figured out that we’d probably saved about €150 each so we got our money’s worth. The customer service on WhatsApp were really responsive and helpful too, sorting out my problem when there was a mix up with the dates I’d booked. I’d say this is a solid way to see the main sights easily for a first time visitor to Istanbul.
