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.

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.

Nice afternoon activity...
Nice afternoon activity to see parts of Istanbul other than mosques in old city. Our guide Jon was knowledgeable and flexible. We had an “all-aboard” time on our cruise ship and Jon insured that we got to Galataport on time,

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.

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.

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

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.
