Hello! My mom and I will be doing the Istanbul tour at the end of March, and we are planning what we want to do during our free time and before the official tour starts. I was looking at getting tickets for the cistern museum, the Turkis and Islamic Arts Museum, and Dolmabahçe Palace, but I'm not sure if the tickets I'm seeing are legitimate or not, because there are so many different websites selling them. Does anyone have any advice for this, or links to buy tickets from the official museum/palace websites? Thank you!

The official website for many museums is https://muze.gen.tr/Museums and there are links to the official websites for each museum. You might check to see if a museum pass would save you $ (depends on how many days you're there - you will get a museum card as part of the tour, too).
Dolmabahce: https://dolmabahcepalace.gen.tr/official-website/
Assuming you mean the Bascilica Cistern? https://yerebatan.com/en/basilica-cistern/visit-info/ [fwiw, this site isn't currently working for me - if you do a google search just pick the one that says "official site" next to it]
