We selected a two day pass. We had a really tight schedule so the pass really helped with organising our trip. The tours were well organised and provided the necessary information for each monument. Afterwards we had time to wander around and check what we wanted. Surely if you have more days you can try more of the provided attractions.

We took the 3-day pass and made the most of everything on offer. The best parts were having guides to explain more about the places. Ahmet was particularly good and very knowledgeable. We covered all the main touristy bits (Hagia Sofia, Basilica Cistern, Galata tower, Topkapi, Dolmabahce), but also enjoyed a few slightly different activities like the museum of illusions and the aquarium. The Bosphorus cruise was also very well organized, we just didn't realize we would drive an hour in the shuttle to get there and back! Although the ePass App didn't work, and we didn't have a sim card, we managed our bookings and planning on the website with the hotel wifi and had no problems along the way. We had a few days without the pass as well, which we could use for shopping, free walking tours and doing our own thing, and that worked well for us.
