Our guide Salih was very informative, chatty, helpful and we really enjoyed our time on this tour! He took us “behind the scenes” of the tourist areas of Istanbul - to areas that we would not have normally been able to find on our own. We went with kids aged 15, 13 and 10 and although it involved a lot of walking we all managed to keep up fine! Would definitely recommend this tour to others.

I had been looking forward to this tour for months! Ozge was so kind and knowledgeable. Our walk covered 18,000 steps and lived up to its promise to explore less talked about parts of Istanbul. Highly recommend!

Tour guide was excellent. He kept the tour interesting and fun. The tour was the perfect complement to the standard tours of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, and Grand Bazaar.

The guide took us to very places that are off the beaten path. Witouth her we could easily miss these places. She was kind and was always very polite and helpful.

This is a must do tour of Istanbul. This one had a little bit of everything including visiting the spice bazaar, Fenwr, Balat neighborhoods, Sultaniyeh mosque and an Orthodox Church. The tram ride and the ferry rides were memorable too. Huge shoutout to Ogze the guide. Even though I was the only person in the tour she still showed up and it was a memorable time walking through history and the present of Istanbul. Highly recommend

Imran was great! Very knowledgable and gave great tips about city. Tour was great way to see the city. Would definitely recommend!

I’m so glad I did this tour, I really enjoyed getting to see some of the less crowded and touristy places and felt like my experience of Istanbul was very different today. I enjoyed our tour guide Atta very much and learned a lot. You get your steps in for sure!

The tour was nice but I guess for us we should have researched more as for us I didn’t understand why did we use the ferry to go to no where and not have at least a destination after the ferry to c And we were already full after first meal so we couldn’t enjoy the restaurant for the second one Our guide was very sweet and helpful

Kenan was an amazing guide he showed us the true Istanbul and we felt like family.He is very knowledgeable and took us to places we would not have found on our own. We had an amazing lunch and got to experience the tram and the ferry . He went out of his was to ensure we had an amazing local experience one that we will always cherish.I would highly recommend this tour

Wonderful adventure touring places I may not have seen otherwise in Istanbul! The guide made a great connection with you and provide a good sense of pacing. He was very knowledgeable, kind and caring.

Atahan was a very attentive but easy going gentleman with excellent english. We choose the off the beaten path tour because it took us to places that we probably wouldn't have found ourselves on a short stay. Having Atahan with us made the whole experience smoother and he encouraged us to visit other places which were not on the tour and took his time to explain the tramway and boats available, which we did use the following 2 days of our remaining time in Istanbul. It's a great way to see a portion of a very beautiful but busy city. Atahan, thank you. You made our experience of Istanbul all the more special.

Want to escape the standard tourist spots and crowds? This is the tour for you! Get a more authentic feel for Istanbul. Less Disney, more Turkey. Awesome information and sights. Great tour director.

Amazing day with our private tour guide … he was considerate to ask EVERYTHING we had already done, then spent 7 hours + with us to show us a lot of Istanbul sections hidden from normal tourists …. The gypsy are, the old Jewish quarter, the Iron Church, taking the team to different areas. He was GREAT, his English was excellent. Highly recommended, October 2023.

Paid $300 for the trip. It was not worth it - the guide had some knowledge about areas, but spent more time walking and waiting for lunch to arrive. Also ferry was going to be a part of it - did not happen.

Our guide was very knowledgeable. The tour was very interesting and I would recommend this tour. I enjoyed going to places that is not main stream

Had a great time on this tour - after having seen the main attractions of Istanbul the day before, it was an excellent way to see more of the city with a knowledgable guide! Lunch was delicious and my guide was very helpful with taking photos!

Burak was very knowledgeable and a great deal of fun. We had a fantastic day. Getting to know Istanbul through the experience of a local is a wonder experience!!

Very good tour, thoroughly enjoyed it. Sedat our guide was brilliant, very informative and very helpful

Brilliant tour highly recommend if you're wanting to go off the beaten track and go where the locals are. We had Sedat as our tour guide and he was fantastic. We learnt so much and saw where the locals ate and shopped which was lovely. Thank you for making our tour a brilliant one! Robin & Yvonne

I appreciated this particular tour, and the tour guide named Salih was also excellent, very competent, well prepared, very good English speaking, he really made us discover other historical part of Istanbul - always well explained - a great guide, recommended!!!!
