From the moment I heard about this tour, I was anticipating a novel adventure...and I wasn't disappointed. Fethi makes Istanbul - the everyday lives of "Istanbullahs" - seems accessible - if only for a day. The group identity was formed quickly, thanks mostly to Fethi and his brother Murat making us all feel welcome. This is a very long day,... More

We had a terrific 15 hr. day with Fehti & his friends. The yachts from the water, the yogurt dripping with honey, the open air markets, the children who performed for us at school, the delicious lunch at his mom's house, the hammam, it was all so interesting and well worth the money. A highlight for me was sipping hot,... More

The Other Tour was the perfect way to get acquainted with Istanbul on our first day. Fehti is synonymous with The Other Tour, His concept, sense of humor, and attention to detail makes for a truly unforgettable day. Fehti works with his brothers and friends who back him up in making sure that everyone is taken care of. He has... More

Understanding the other tour means getting into the mind of its innovative creator Fethi Karatas. Who is Fethi? It is impossible to get to know somebody by spending a mere 14 hours with a person, so here are a few of my observations: 1) Fethi is creative. His second script Kuzey Güney (North South) was turned into a television show.... More

The best thing about this tour are the guys ( guides) that take you around to all the places on the tour and discussed in the reviews. They are hilarious, smart ,friendly and make you feel like a friend who has come to visit Istanbul. We were there the day they had a big group and took two buses. We... More

The other tour is the best tour my wife and I have ever taken. We have traveled to many countries over the years and taken a lot of tours. This one beats all of them. At first you may think it is a little expensive. I would have payed double for the experience. I will remember this tour for the... More

Best decision I made was to go on this tour. You will see parts of Istanbul that you wouldn't see on your own or on another tour. More

"The Other Tour" is less of a tour and more of an immersion into the real life of people in Istanbul. You'll need to see the usual sights on your own (or on a more traditional tour), but whatever you do, don't miss this one! A young, creative, energetic and passionate young man by the name of Fethi took us... More

Thanks to everyone on TripAdvisor that submitted reviews. Because of the reviews, I decided to take this tour, and I was thrilled with the experience. I haven't had so much fun in a long while. Not only was the tour filled with fun, humour, terrific food, and great local experiences, the tour attracted folks that were fun to be around.... More
