The blue tiles in the mosque were beautiful and well preserved. Must wear a scarf even if you are wearing a hat. The Palace is huge and each room has an interesting story. Not to be missed.

Out guide was terrible. She did not speak English well and did not put much effort to make her guiding interesting and I formative! We were left to look at all exhibits by ourselves, which we could've done with out any guide. T

I couldn't go because it was a big scam, I paid 70 euros TripAdvisor believing that everything was included tickets and guide but no I had to add 80 euros to the guide so the visit cost 150 euros no thank you so I don't absolutely do not recommend that you make your reservation via TripAdvisor the entrance to the palace is 43 euros per person and free audio guide, I am disgusted to have lost 70th but in all never again TripAdvisor

The guide was very knowledgeable and took photos of us at a few special spots. We got through most of the topaki palace grounds and were able to stay afterward to see a few more rooms. The timing was great as we got through before the bigger midday crowds

Guide was friendly & knowledgeable, and took time to explain important historical facts. She also took us around the Palace in a way that avoided large crowds, which was much appreciated.
