The ticket, which is very expensive, contains many uninteresting features that are forcefully included in the ticket cost. Moreover, at the ticket offices it turns out that this ticket cannot be used (e.g. Hagia Sophia, Hagia Sophia Museum, etc.). The scandal was the situation when, despite having this ticket, I still had to stand in a long queue to Hagia Sophia and additionally spend 25 euros on another ticket!!!!! The Archaeological Museum is 2/3 under renovation and is inaccessible, which is not mentioned on the website or in the guide. When I asked him at the museum how many hours it would take us, he said it had 3 huge parts and 9 hours. However, it was mostly closed and I finished the tour after an hour. Didn't the guide know about this??? Mr. Hasan, a great guide, talks very interestingly about the monuments. To sum up: it is not worth buying the Istanbul Ticket Pass.

For 300 pounds for 2 people it was very expensive. Doesn't include entry for more than half of the 100+ locations. When I asked for a refund they said they knew this and it was a recent update by... Mostrar más

For 300 pounds for 2 people it was very expensive. Doesn't include entry for more than half of the 100+ locations. When I asked for a refund they said they knew this and it was a recent update by the attractions. If they know, why don't they change their advertising to make this more clear?

Galata Tower, in case you wonder where the heck is your ticket, they only send it after 12:00, so don't bother to get it earlier.

Galata Tower, in case you wonder where the heck is your ticket, they only send it after 12:00, so don't bother to get it earlier. 
Madame Tussauds, way to small and not really worth visiting, quite a lot of fake figurines.
Tokapi Palace, it is beyond joke you cannot enter by yourself. The guide was supposed to arrive on time and showed up at 11:00. It takes forever to enter for all participant, scan the QR code, this is 2023. Skip the line is so fake, official skip the line is on the other side of the building, you simply go where everyone goes, it takes minimum 20 minuets to get through security, then another 20 to enter the palace and then the most boring thing happens, the guide talks and talks about one of the places in the palace building which is not even included. What a waste of half an hour instead of walking and stopping to explain briefly and repeat. Lesson for new people, once you after the ticket check, go and explore yourself and do not even bother wasting your time on the guide, not worth it. 
Bosporus Sightseeing, this is the place when they rip you off the most, a person came in and returned the ticket, do you think he got the full refund, forget about it, they stole 300TL from him by not giving it back to him. Your stop is not really the only stop, after the Dolmabahce Palace is another stop people will enter/leave. Om the boat men will force you drinks; these are not free so say it clearly you do not want anything. 
Bosporus Dinner, don't bother if you are Celiac, they do not have anything, sitting and watching others eating is no fun.
Eyup Mosque ok to visit, but you only have 20 minutes and the mass of people will not allow you to see what you need to see. Better to go there by yourself.
Pierre Lorri simple cable car with the view, just go there yourself.
Don't fall into the discount for mobile WiFi, it is not discounted at all, they lie. Cheaper option is either at the airport or in the store. 
Miniaturk not worth it, if you alever been to Brussels mini-Europe you will understand what I mean. Everything here looks so plastic it does not resemble real mini buildings, such a waste of time, no wonder they connect that with the mosque and Pierre Lotti.
Overall be critical of what you wish to see and do not fall for this discount, it is simply not worth it.
