シンガポール航空でイスタンブールを訪れるなら、このコンボチケットは必須だとおもう。コンボ割引+搭乗割引でおそらく最安値。チケットもQRコードがすぐ発行されるので現地に到着後に決めても全く問題なし。2つ施設、魅力的でした。

Fast confirmation of tickets, very enchanting and magical place. Didn’t want to leave.
The Basilica is nice but nothing much to see inside
The listing says there was an audio guide but this was not the case and I had to pay 300 Turkish liras per person for one.
A must see place but it was very quick and probably overpriced but thats Istanbul in general to be honest
