Take a walk on the Asian side of Istanbul... - Our guide (Tuncer) was extremely knowledgeable. He was able to answer ALL my husband's questions with patience..... Tuncer provided both historical and political background to the various sites we visited. He also provided relevant context to current issues. We liked how he could read the level of interest that we had and proceeded to provide us with the necessary. Tuncer left us with an increased understanding and a deep appreciation of the challenges currently being experienced in the country.

Dogus, the most knowledgeable tour guide ever - Our tour guide Dogus was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable. I told her I wanted the famous San Sebastion cheesecake and while it wasn't on the schedule she made my wish come true. I loved learning about the Mosque 🕌 and how to identify them. The ride under the Bosphorus was intriguing 🤔 lol and I loved the ferry ride back. Her enthusiasm and passion about this country and its history is nothing short of phenomenal. If you can request Dogus for your tour you won't be disappointed.

Enjoyable tour. - The walking tour opens up our outlook
of Istanbul, delving into the often forgotten history and seeing its inhabitants life away from the
often hectic touristic areas.
Ekin , our tour guide was fantastic
and shared her intricate knowledge of her hometown with us.

Very informative and friendly tour - Tuncer was on time friendly and well spoken. He went above and beyond when I had a foot injury from the day before to make sure I could make the tour…. Even made a stop at a local pharmacy to pick up some meds ! One of the best tours I have had… well worth the time !

Wonderful time on Aside side Istanbul - We met with a nice lady Edina who is very knowledgeable & accomodating to us. She took us to places that no large groups can go to at times & restaurants like a good meatball place called Islama Koftecisi that’s been in business for generations. We rode the dolmus, tram, ferry when we were with her from the European side to the Asian side & back. I wouls take this tour again, if given the chance.

I will never book through trip advisor again - No one showed up to pick me up. It was terrible. When I called the tour company they said Trip Advisor did not give them my reservation.
I am still waiting for a refund.
Go directly to a travel agent.
