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
Support was responsive and made an effort to assist, but the final outcome was disappointing. The ticket restrictions (daytime-only entry) were not clearly highlighted at the point of purchase. As a result, we were unable to use the tickets and had to purchase new ones on-site for evening entry. No refund or credit solution was offered despite a genuine attempt to visit.
A must see place but it was very quick and probably overpriced but thats Istanbul in general to be honest
