For visitors taking free tours in Istanbul, the situation is quite busy. Especially those who want to visit the Blue Mosque may have to endure long queues.

Since tourism is quite intense in Istanbul this season, it’s better to prefer free tours with external explanations. The tourism season usually peaks in April and May, with long lines forming in front of all museums. However, guests participating in free tour organizations can request priority access to museums from their guides. Since guides have priority in purchasing tickets, if you inform your free tour guide of this request, they can obtain priority tickets for you at the end of the free tour.
