This is one of the most unique tours you can ever find in anywhere in the world. It's more like an experience of being a local in a neighborhood of Istanbul for some days. - If you have already been in Istanbul and did all the touristy stuff, you are reading the correct spot. - Even if it's your 1st time in Istanbul and if you are the kind of traveler who searches "Visit Istanbul like a local", "Local things to do in Istanbul" on google, stop searching you found the right thing here. Basically what happens is that, you will stay at an apartment, completely private for you. But, you will keep visiting nearby locals at their homes for culinary, art and cultural experiences (listed on days' tour details). But the idea is that you visit the locals at their homes to form a local bond with them. After visiting a group of friends, you will pretty much feel like you are a part of them and you will finish the school of being a local in Istanbul . Come as a guest, leave as a friend.

Karen_B, Apr 2026

Comfortable pace and education.

Nesli was very well versed and educated in all aspects of the ruins and the modern community. The pace was excellent and she easily adapted to our background and knowledge of the subjects. She was bright and pleasant and was very comfortable with English and translating. The rug demonstration at the end was fascinating, educational, and engaging without undue pressure for purchase. The lunch that concluded our tour was a nice variety of local cuisine and ample portions in a comfortable outdoor setting. We highly recommend the experience.

Phenomenal experience.

This was an excellent tour! It was easy to find our guide right off the ship. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. We got to see everything that we wanted to see at our pace and our guide was amazing. He was able to answer our questions in depth and tailored the sites to our preferences. The lunch at the carpet dealer was really good, they were a bit pushy on the carpet sales from a Western perspective, but normal for the culture. This is definitely worth it to go on a private trip.

A Must-Do in Turkey!

Wow, what an incredible experience! Our guide, Metin, was full of knowledge and the history of Turkey, and we thoroughly enjoyed all of the information he provided. His English was exceptional as well. We loved the visits to the ceramics studio and the rug school, even though we weren't expecting to visit these places. It was fairly obvious that these were sales pitch stops, but the artworks were so beautiful, and of course, we made purchases at both places! Lunch at the carpet school was delicious and it was fun to try some authentic Turkish dishes. Ephesus was absolutely incredible, even if it rained on us the whole time! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Well worth the time and the price was great, especially for a private tour!

Bosphorus Sunset Yacht Cruise with Snacks and Live Guide

Jo_M, Jul 2025

Wonderful sunset cruise

We cannot thank you enough for a brilliant trip. We didn’t want a cruise with dinner but there were canapés and fruit platters provided which were perfect. We were given water and the option of a cold or hot drink or to purchase beer. The commentary was informative and there was plenty of time to chat, listen to the music and enjoy the beautiful views. The boat was clean and comfortable. All the meeting point information was sent to us in advance with clear instructions and a map to the relevant location. Our hosts were super friendly and helpful and took their time to speak to everyone on board, offering help and information about our visit to Istanbul if we needed it. We cannot fault this experience. I am so grateful for your assistance with an issue that I had to enable us not to miss our trip. A heartfelt thank you for everything.

Istanbul Hodjapasha Rhythm of The Dance Show

Noe_c, Jul 2025

A Must-See Cultural Experience

Hodjapasha Show – A Must-See Cultural Experience The Hodjapasha Show is truly one of the best performances we’ve experienced in Istanbul. It’s a perfect blend of professionalism, tradition, and artistic expression. From the moment the show begins, you’re drawn into a captivating journey through Turkish culture, history, and music. The dancers are exceptionally talented, and every movement feels meaningful and precise. The use of lighting and sound enhances the emotional atmosphere, making the performance even more powerful. Whether it’s the whirling dervishes or the dynamic folkloric dances, each scene is delivered with passion and authenticity. The venue itself, a beautifully restored 15th-century hamam, adds to the ambiance and gives the show an even deeper cultural connection. The seating is comfortable, and the environment is intimate, allowing you to feel close to the performance without being overwhelmed. Everything is well-organized, from ticketing to the timing of the show. The entire experience is smooth and enjoyable. We strongly recommend attending the Hodjapasha Show if you’re in Istanbul. It’s more than just entertainment—it’s a cultural experience that stays with you.
