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,

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 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.

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.

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.

Not bad
Great tour. It was much shorter than advertised and the sights are a bit not the same. But nonetheless the tour guide was friendly and knowledgable.

Erol was an excellent guide, took us around from taskim to Galata. Introduced us to the history; buildings, food place. We got a good gist of the city - places to eat and shop at. It was good pace, walking and did not get tired.

When to visit

The Galata Bridge is a must-see for all first-time visitors to Istanbul.
The bridge is a great spot for watching the ferry boats crossing the Bosphorus, and taking in the city’s mosque-dotted skyline at sunset.
Wear comfortable shoes as you walk across the bridge and through the city.
