Topkapı Palace guided tour
The courtyards, the Treasury and the sacred relics, walked with a local guide who knows what you are looking at. Skip-the-line entry is included; the Harem is a separate ticket and is not part of this one.
What you get
- A local guide for roughly two to two and a half hours.
- Skip-the-line entry, so the queue at the Gülhane gate is not your queue.
- The tour starts at a fixed time, and the app tells you which one you booked.
- The Harem is not included, and we say so here rather than at the door.
- Topkapı is closed on Tuesdays; the app will not sell you one.
Included in the price
- The guided tour of the main palace areas
- Skip-the-line entry for each guest you book for
- The entry code in the app on your visiting day
- Support by message in five languages, from a rep inside your card
How it works
- Open your card at app.tripxtra.co with the code on your membership.
- Pick Topkapı, your day and how many people are going.
- Be at the meeting point on time; a late arrival can miss the group.
Questions people ask
- Is the Harem included?
- No. The Harem needs its own ticket, bought at the palace. This tour covers the main palace areas, and we would rather you heard that here.
- Which day is closed?
- Tuesdays, plus some public and religious holidays when hours change. The app does not offer a day the palace is shut.
- Can I buy this without the card?
- Not yet. Topkapı is sold inside the app, which opens with the code on your TripXtra Card. Hagia Sophia can be bought directly on this site.
Prices are per person and shown before you pay. Free cancellation up to 48 hours before the visit. Rate Extra Tourism L.L.C. is the seller of record; Sindibad Turizm Ticaret A.Ş. (TURSAB 10028) supplies the ticket and the guide in Türkiye.
One card opens all of it — tickets, transfers, bags and a person to message.
