I totally loved this Ghost Tour. I loved the mix of storytelling, great spots in Istanbul and excellent guide. We had some very cool equipment to use, and it was a very spooky and satisfying evening. Do yourself a favour! See Istanbul by night!

Sarra was prepared with fascinating history, jokes, and spooky stories that made this tour one that I will recommend to anyone who is looking to see another side of Istanbul. I don’t want to give too much away, but the ghost hunting tools and historical plot twists were a highlight of our visit!

Our guide was great, unfortunately I suffered from some bad food or something so I had to leave the tour early. I wish I could have finished it. I love hearing and learning about the darker side of places.

Walk to places you otherwise would have missed

Meike_S, Sep 2025

The tour with Brent was an amazing time travel to Istanbul’s history. We got to notice and see places we otherwise would have missed. Even for people who are not too much into haunted tour, I would definitely recommend to book. I had a fantastic time.

This ghost tour in...

Rebekah_K, Aug 2025

This ghost tour in Istanbul was great. The stories were fascinating, but what really made it special was the depth of historical research behind each location. It was clear that extensive research into the secret corners of the city had been done, uncovering details and connections that brought each ghost story to life. The guide connected these tales to real events and figures from the city’s past, creating a rich and engaging picture of its history. The tour was also interactive, with EMF meters and other ghost-hunting tools for guests to use, which made it even more fun. It is a great mix of history, mystery, and hands-on exploration, and I would recommend it.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you 😊

Joyful

Brandon_D, May 2025

Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. The tour was a great deal of fun loaded with dark and morbid history that other tours won't provide. The walk was amazing, leading us through areas of Istanbul we hadn't seen that were amazingly beautiful at night. It was a perfect ending to our vacation in what is now a favorite destination. We even had the opportunity to share a drink with the guide at the end and learn even more. Fun and joyful evening. Highly recommend!

Istan-BOO

Sadly no ghosts, but still some amazing insights into some of the darker history of Istanbul. Group was very friendly and if I had not been jet-lagged so much, would have gone out for beers after the tour. Highly recommend it!

Tour was fantastic! Very fun and informational! The guides were engaging and deeply knowledgeable, weaving together ghost stories, Ottoman legends, and lesser-known tales from Istanbul’s past. Highly recommended!
