Overview

This tour is your bread and butter when you come to İstanbul, doing this tour with young tour guides is a world of difference than the run of the mill agencies. All our guides are government licensed. Whats different about our tour is that you get an unfiltered İstanbul. The culture and history of the city with all its aspects from people who studied and lived it for years.

Unlike the other tours we dont do shopping stops unless you specifically ask to. We just want you to enjoy a relaxing walk with us.
