Total scam. The line you skip is a 2 minutes line to buy the ticket. I still had to wait 30 minutes in line to get in. This is not for "mandatory security checks" as there are no security checks, it's the line for the observatory deck elevator.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to clarify that the Galata Tower Hosted Entry Ticket is specifically designed to skip the ticket purchase line. However, as clearly stated in the activity information, security checks at the entrance are mandatory for all visitors and are managed by Galata Tower according to its regulations and visitor capacity. Waiting times for these mandatory procedures may vary and can take 20–40 minutes, particularly during busy periods. This experience is a hosted entry, not a full guided tour inside Galata Tower. Our host meets guests at the designated meeting point, provides a brief introduction, assists with the entrance process, and then guests explore the tower independently with the included audio guide, available in 25 languages. Therefore, the service is provided as described and advertised. We can confirm that your reservation (CBE-2609-BX8BU2) for the Galata Tower Hosted Entry was successfully used on September 19, 2026, at 3:00 PM. We also did not receive any request for assistance from you before or during your visit. Had you contacted our Support team regarding any difficulty or unexpected waiting time, we would have been more than happy to assist you and do our best to resolve the issue at the time. We understand that waiting can be frustrating, but the mandatory entrance procedures are outside our control. The service you purchased was delivered in accordance with the advertised inclusions and conditions. Best regards, Istanbul Tourist Pass® – The most extensive all-in-one digital city pass, offering access to 120+ attractions, guided tours, skip-the-line entries, and unforgettable experiences across Istanbul.
