100% recommend. Our guide Simina was very welcoming. Adjusted the activities for the size of the group. Always tried to find us when we were in the clubs to make sure we were okay. And created a space for us all to talk and have fun. I've been on other pub crawls in Istanbul but this was the best one because of the host. Thank you

We initially went to Freds for the Pub crawl anf checked upstairs like the description asked. Once we arrived upstairs, there was no one up there to direct us to the pub crawl organizers. I went to the bar to be told by a bartender that the manager told them the pub crawl wasn't occurring due to Okroberfest going on that night and that we should have received an email about it. I was told by the bartender to contact the organizer through the app and see what was going on. A 3rd person walked up after 15 mins of trying to figure out what was going on and the plan od action for my group to then redirected down the street to a different location. Once we met the organizer at 850pm, we still did not leave the venue to get on the bus until 1015pm. While we were waiting to leave we had to buy our own drinks at nearby shops. Once we arrived to the bus, we were provided a shot of black licorice liquer and told that we would receive a shot at each new place we went. Upon arriving at the first venue, it was overcrowded and there was no pub crawl vibe. There were also a lot of younger, drunk kids at the venue! I left the first venue before 1130pm and messaged Viator since the organizer never responded. This experience was the most unorganized and chaotic venture I've ever had and as a group of 10 people with me we would have hoped for better communication about the change in location along with who and where to meet to make this excursion easier to navigate. This is unacceptable and we are not happy about this at all! 10 out of 10 won't do it again!

Dear Shavonne,
We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations.
We understand that arriving early and navigating the crowded street festival may have been confusing. However, the meeting location was never changed. Due to Oktoberfest, we gathered directly in front of Fred Bar to enjoy the live performances, take advantage of the discounted drinks and offer our guests a different experience. We had gathered all guests, including your group, by 9:05 PM.
We also understand that you didn’t want to wait in the festival’s discounted drinks queue, which is why we arranged for neighboring bars to serve your group instead.
Regarding the timing, we followed our original schedule, spending approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes at the meeting point before departing on the party bus. The bus ride was shortened by just 5 minutes to avoid festival traffic.
We understand your concerns about the crowded first club. We deliberately kept our stay there short and moved to a more spacious venue shortly afterward.
Festivals, lively crowds and a casual social atmosphere are usually what our guests love about our pub crawls, but we understand that this isn’t for everyone. We believe our concept may not have matched your expectations, and we’re sorry about that.
We really enjoyed continuing the tour with the other half of your group and celebrating their birthdays together! We genuinely wish you had stayed to enjoy the rest of the evening with your friends.
Kind regards,
Istanbul Pub Crawl Team
The host did not meet at the pick up spot. The location was changed, per the manger of said pickup spot, and we were not alerted. We then sat at a dirty bar table for 1 hour and 15 mins before even loading the bus to the 1st club. Party bus ride was only 5 mins long (host said it was supposed to be 10 mins). 1st location was HEAVILY packed, no dancing room, filled with cigarette smoke, 1 way in and out. Not safe. Majority of my group left before the end of the 1st stop and went somewhere else for better fun.

Had an amazing time on the pub crawl! 🍻 The whole experience was fun, lively, and a great way to meet new people and explore the nightlife.
A special thanks to our guide Ilke for being friendly, energetic, and making sure everyone was having a great time. He kept the group together, made us feel comfortable, and really added to the overall experience.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for a fun night out and a chance to experience the nightlife with a great group! 🍺🎉
It was really good and fun. Ilke and basak were really fun and we're amazing at organizing social activities. It was easy to meet new people and make friends
Shakila is a wonderful guide, she makes sure you enjoy the whole night. It it well worth trying! The clubs and the the bars that you go to are very cool and you get a really great vibe at each place.
Great vibes, games, clubs, shakila was a fabulous guide, plenty of people to chat and make friends with
The organizers were kind and did their best to make everyone feel included. It was a great night!
My only suggestion would maybe be to choose better places to go. At the first bar, the waiter charged more for the drinks than the prices listed on the menu, saying that “for this group, he already included the tip in the price,” which I found quite inappropriate, he should asked whether he could do that. Also the rooftop we visited was extremely crowded.
Other than that, thank you so much for the experience, girls!
We (2 friends) joined not sure on what to expect. In the end we had a terrific evening with lots of drinks, dancing and great conversation. The hosts are great at making everyone feel included!
The host Lea makes this experience amazing. Generally the pub crawl is good. You do to a few bars and clubs but the host Lea makes the experience AMAZING. She is so attentive to your needs and makes a real effort to bring people together and make sure nobody is left alone. 100% recommend
Really fun experience. The guide was also accommodating and fun! We went to a few different places during the night
we had a amazing time on the pub crawl, and i wanted to highlight how fantastic our host, Dylon was. Her energy, charm, and ability to bring everyone together genuinely made all the difference. The whoel experience felt smooth, fun and well-organised - Largely thanks to Dylon.
The Experience has a good mix of lively pubs, good music and a friendly vibe. Dylon kept the group engaged, made everyone feel included, and balanced structure with spontaneity perfectly. It was clear we had a memorable night.
Our first night in Istabul was spent on this club crawl. We started out at a chill bar where we got to meet and talk to crawlers from all over the globe. Simina was our hostess, and she got everyone involved. Later she took us around and gave us many shots. We went on a cool party bus and then walked to 3 clubs, all of which were really happening and fun. It was nice to party with a group and the neighborhoods we walked through were really great. Definitely a good way to spend a night in Istanbul.
Simina was a great host- started off with drinking games at a table so made it easy to meet new people!
Maria was a super host and created a great atmosphere.
She brought the group together with a few games and ensured we were all together when moving on.
The venues visited were great, with some good tunes to dance to.
Had a great night. A good mix of people, made new friends for a night. Went to a few different places, the second was a bit too crowded. Good music and vibes. Would go again.
Best pub crawl in istanbul ✌️Maral hyped us so much.i will come again for sure.They have some fire shows
100% recommend. Our guide Simina was very welcoming. Adjusted the activities for the size of the group. Always tried to find us when we were in the clubs to make sure we were okay. And created a space for us all to talk and have fun. I've been on other pub crawls in Istanbul but this was the best one because of the host. Thank you
This was one of the better pub crawls I have ever been on. They had a show for us with fire and the guides were extremely nice and even showed me a great Turkish food to get after! Marli and Maria where amazing and made the experience even better with there amazing attitudes!
Had an amazing night on the Istanbul pub crawl! The bar and the clubs were lively, the crowd was fun, and the whole night was super well organized. Huge shout-out to our host, Maral, who made everyone feel welcome and kept the energy high all night. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a great way to experience Istanbul’s nightlife!
the experience was unforgettable, from the pub to the bus to the clubs we partied non stop, the hosts Maral and Maria were so energetic they made us feel the same !
Great bar crawl! Started at a cool bar with drinking games to break the ice. It was great time and I met some fun people from all over the world.
Had a great time on the tour. If you're adventurous and social you'll have a blast but not to worry some our quieter crew had fun as well. Yasmine was terrific in getting all to engage and enjoyed the locations. Easy to the port area as well.
This not my first time and it’s always amazing and vibes and will do it again and again thanks naz😍😍
Beyza was has been probably the best club and bar guide I’ve ever had. She’s an amazing group facilitator and she’s absolutely fun. Always making sure we were comfortable and having fun in a safe space. She was always on time and making sure we would get our drinks as soon as we got to every site. Thank you, Beyza! 🫶🏼
A fantastic way of spending a night in Istanbul. Guides get you involved in a flow that makes the journey special and you have opportunity of meeting friends from all around the world.
It is definitely a must. Unique experience to meet people from various countries. Roof top bar and fire show was the highlight.
This pub crawl is so awesome! I went solo as a woman and the hosts did a great job making sure I felt welcome and safe all night! Couldn’t recommend this night out more. Also nice variety of locations
For my friend and me this was the best pub crawl we have done so far. Beyza was such a nice, open minded and lovely guide who was connecting the people really well and made good atmosphere. The bars chosen were really nice, I would definitely recommend it. 💪💪💪💪
Incredible night with amazing people espaciallay with our guide Z.
Amazing pubs and nightclubs with super comfortable people.
Loved it and had so much fun! I (a woman) and my sister enjoyed partying the night away! Started at the tower pub and got to meet our group and talk and play games to make us all a little more comfortable. The group leaders made sure we all felt comfortable and safe, even pulling some attendees to the side when they became a little too rambunctious (tried to make a mosh pit in a crowded club.) We got welcome shots at every club and went to all the top popular international clubs. Would 100% suggest it even if you’re a solo female traveler.
