Overview

Although Istanbul’s best known for thousands of years of history, the in-the-know visitor is just as keen to get a local’s view as they are to visit the most popular sites in the city where Europe and Asia collide. Join a passionate Istanbullu for a flexible city tour that focuses as much on cultural differences, local events, and the nuances of Turkish life as it does on the city’s well-loved art and architecture.
