Little hidden gem
Kim was exceptional, super friendly, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend to anyone who want too see and experience some out of the beaten path. It was worth it. Kim even put a special touch and stopped to get tea and baklava. Yummy. Very special trip.

Recommended for first timers in Istanbul and for those who have visited before.
Can was our guide. He was punctual and spoke excellent English. He was knowledgeable about the city in which he grew up and took us to areas which we would most likely have missed if not on the tour. He was open to our questions and at the end of the tour he asked us about our plans and offered suggestions and restaurant recommendations. I really enjoyed the time I spent with Can and learned several new things about Istanbul.

She took the tour at our pace. We had just landed that morning after a 11 hour flight, so it was so welcoming. It was very adaptable to what we were feeling or not feeling.

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 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.

Good tour to interesting places
Our tour guide, Tonga, was very knowledgeable and experienced. We particularly liked seeing all of the passages that we normally would’ve never encountered. He knew a lot of interesting things about every neighborhood we walked through. He also tailored the tour to some of our preferences, which was greatly appreciated. We are not that interested in the various churches other than the first two we saw, so he would show them to us from the outside, but not make us go in. I highly recommend this tour as you will see places you most likely will not if you try to do it on your own. The only thing I would say is you have to be somewhat fit and able to walk on cobblestone streets including up hillls and some stairs. It is not overly exerting, but you definitely needs some stamina. I highly recommend Tonga as your tour guide. He speaks great English and is quite personable which made it even better.

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!

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.
