I had, however, already attended this type of spiritual ceremony in France, but those hadnโ€™t moved me to this extent. Moved to tears, I would have liked a moment of quiet reflection at the end to prolong that state of grace and let that vibration linger, but the tourists didnโ€™t seem to have had the same experience, since as soon as it was over, they got up to leave. I loved the phrases displayed on the wall during the whirling dervishesโ€™ dance, the venue, the exhibition, the hospitality, and the overall atmosphere. Thank you for sharing and keeping Rumiโ€™s wisdom alive across the centuries. If you enjoyed this performance, I recommend reading *My Love, the Sufi* by Elif Shafak.

Easy to use skip the line passes. Was able to see both attractions. The cistern is very impressive. Ticket passage to both venues went without a hitch, once you have figured out the correct line to be in, i.e. the skip the line electronic tickets.

Turkey has been amazing, like most structures though out your beautiful country, the Basilica Cistern did not disappoint. The sheer scale is monumental, thank you for preserving it and allowing us to experience it. Only one criticism, I think you do with out the art displayed in it, the Cistern is art enough. Thank you it made my stay. With Love and Light. The Napier's.

The audio-guided tour in Spanish was excellent. We had no trouble hearing the audio, and the recordings were very interesting. Having a good narration definitely enhances the experience.

The place is truly amazingโ€”so much culture and history. I loved it, and it wasn't too crowded, which was great because it meant I could really explore it.

My visit to Topkapi Palace with Headout was an excellent experience. Everything was very well organized from the start: the booking process was simple and straightforward, and we had no issues upon arrival. We were able to enter without any hassle and make the most of our time there. The place is stunning, but thanks to the great organization, we were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace and without any stress. Without a doubt, a highly recommended experience.
