Booking FAQs

The Guided Museum Pass does not allow you to enter the museums on your own. You must meet with our guide 5 minutes before the start of the tour. Only one-time entry is allowed into each museum. You have a total of 5 consecutive calendar days to use the pass. The first day of use will be counted on the first day you enter one of the museums. Note: The Basilica Cistern is currently closed. As the Blue Mosque is still a working mosque, it is closed to tourists during prayer time. In general, the opening hours of the Blue Mosque are from 8:30 AM until one hour before dusk each day, excluding 90 minutes each prayer time, and 2 hours during Friday noon prayers.
