Great Walking Tour of Istanbul
Our guide, Erol, was also our guide for a similar food tour, but made this tour completely different. He shared incredible background of neighborhoods and took us to interesting places we never would have found on our own. Highly recommended.

There are terrific views...
There are terrific views from the top of Galata Tower! Seeing the Fener/Balat neighborhoods provided a different perspective of the city, away from the high tourist traffic areas. Our tour guide was phenomenal and very knowledgeable on the history of the city.

A perfect tour through Galata, Balat and Fener
The tour was fantastic, especially thanks to our guide Ergil, who was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable.
We began at the Galata Tower, enjoying a beautiful panoramic view of Istanbul. Then we explored the historic neighborhoods of Balat and Fener, full of colorful streets and rich multicultural history.
A very pleasant walk combining great views, culture, and authentic local atmosphere. Highly recommended!

This was fine. It wasn't...
This was fine. It wasn't an expensive tour, so a good value for money but much less time than I budgeted for. It was fun to take the little tram and learn more about the history of the area.

Erol was a great guide...
Erol was a great guide and took us to some very interesting places we would never have found by ourselves. He also gave us a good overview of where the locals go and what they eat.

Fantastic tour with super knowledgeable guide
The tour was fantastic—our guide Erol was extremely knowledgeable about historic facts and dates, explaining how much the city has changed while taking us to great spots for photos. Travelling by tram and ferry was smooth because he had everything perfectly organised, and we even stopped to enjoy some delicious sweets along the way. Even though it was low season and we were the only ones on the tour, he never rushed; he took his time, explained everything in detail, and made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. Highly recommended and fantastic guide

Beautiful tour despite the rain
Despite the rain our guide Erol made this a really enjoyable experience. He is so knowledgeable, engaging and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Galata tower and surroundings (with many gorgeous photos) and then our journey to Balat and Fener. The churches are stunning and it was particularly beautiful to see the architecture, interior decor and many relics. The neighbourhoods of Balat and Fener are very charming with their colourful houses. We stopped for tea and cookies in a local cafe recommended by Erol. Erol was a super guide and I would highly recommend this tour.

Galata tower and Taksim area
It was customized to our interests in a nice way. We were happy with friendly guide. The history of this cosmopolitan area and sites were fascinating.

Galata Tower
A delightful trek through the less-traveled alleys, back streets, and hidden gems of the city. A look at local foods and where locals on a budget go to eat them. Didn’t get our guide’s name but it was something like “Errol.” In any event he knew his stuff and appeared to really love his job.

When to visit

Galata Tower is a must-visit for history buffs and anyone wanting a stellar view of Istanbul.
Istanbul TouristPass holders receive free access to the tower.
Sunset is an excellent time to capture spectacular views and the perfect picture.
Dine at the tower-top restaurant or watch a Turkish belly-dancing show at the nightclub.
There is an elevator to the seventh floor of the tower, and then there are two flights of stairs to the observation deck and restaurant, so access may be difficult for visitors with limited mobility.
