Best price ratio in the city - This walking tour costed us only 10 euro and allow us to have a good guide for three hours. Obviously ticket are not included in the price but it is possible to buy them through the guide skipping the line and paying the official price of 1500 TRY. Truly recommended

A must see in Istanbul - The tour started off not to well. It was not clear that the booking was for a guide only and not entrance tickets. These had to be bought separately contrary to what was on the ticket Our guide Ulan was very knowledgeable about the palace. Be warned, it takes quite a long while and a lot of walking, but all worthwhile in the end
