This is the one where your host spills all their local secrets, and you ask all your questions!
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
Istanbul is a magical city alive with beauty, culture, and history. This is where empires once ruled! But if it’s been a while since you were in town or this is your first visit, joining one of our local Istanbul hosts to help you find your feet is the perfect way to get your trip off to a good start. Get oriented in the city streets and find your feet as you learn how to get around the city (there are tons of transport options available - from the metro to trams, taxis, and buses).
Spot some landmarks along the way, like the Blue Mosque, and soak up Istanbul’s beauty and history. From the bustling alleys of the Grand Bazaar to the vibrant Taksim district, there’s not a second to waste! And luckily, with a host to show you the ropes, not a second will be. You will be feeling right at home once they’ve shared their tips for where to eat, how to get around, and spilled a local secret or two.

Ipech was so respectful and knowledgable. Highly recommend!
Show moreLoved that at could puck time of day and length of touring time and also cater to just the sites we wanted to see in that timeframe. Emir was friendly, personal and accommodating for our tote of the Toptaki palace, visit to Blue Mosc and to a local ceramics shop - was a bit of a hard sell to visit this spot so make note if you go. Quality and service of ceramics were high but pricey.
Show moreCompletely immersive and tailored tour! Burak was extremely knowledgeable and authentic, sharing not only historical information, but relating the history to the cultures that make up Istanbul and Anatolia. His ability to relate to us the religious and transnational impacts of past and current events was amazing. Lastly, Burak is genuinely interested and interesting, and friendly. Highly recommend!
