It was a rainy, windy and cold evening when we met our guide by the German fountain at 6PM. Just a 3 of us did the walk for 3 hours In Sultanahmet. The tour was a nice introduction to the city. I recommend it for first time visitors. Enjoy! More

I highly recommend this Bike Tour. It's a great way to get to know different places of the city, as well as very nice to cycle next to the Bosperus. The bikes have enough gears to be able to master the steep parts of Istanbul. Certainly Istanbul does not have many cycling paths, but I took my time and managed... More

This tour was a really great way to learn about the historic area of Istanbul. The guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. He shared great stories to bring the past to light! We have enjoyed exceptional free walking tours in many other countries and this one was no exception! The energy and enthusiasm of the guides makes it so worthwhile.... More

. The tour lasted about 3hours. Our guide, Jascept (?) had a deep understanding and his passion seemed to come out more after we asked questions, which is what you want in a free tour. We have taken many free tours before when the guides reminded people they work for tips, only tips, through the whole tour... However, there was... More

Me and my Husband took this tour on our second day in Istanbul, although we were the only ones there at the 6pm time slot, he was happy to take us around anyway. The guide was really nice, and knowledgeable. The walk itself wasn't huge, so you don't need to be really physically fit, a few uphills that's about it,... More

I went on this on my last day in Istanbul, so I'd already seen all the sights and read all the info in the guidebook, but I've been on a few of these free tours and I thought it would be good to talk to a resident Istanbuler. It was absolutely excellent! It turned out that I was the only... More
