Great way to see the Asian side of Istanbul

Michael_E, Jun 2024

Osman was my guide on this bicycle tour. We met at his (very tiny) office on the Asian side of Istanbul where he provided me with a nice hybrid road-mountain bike. Although Istanbul has numerous steep hills, Osman took me on a path that avoided the worst of the up-hills. We biked mostly along the water front or close to it. Osman took me past many Mosques, churches of a number of Christian denominations, and residential areas full of shops and restaurants and was able to provide a lot of history about the sites we saw. The tour lasted a little over 3 hours at the end of which Osman offered me something to drink and eat. It definitely fulfilled my hopes and expectations.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review! It was a real pleasure guiding you through the lesser-known but deeply charming parts of Istanbul’s Asian side. I'm glad you found the route manageable and enjoyable despite the city's famous hills—planning a smooth ride is always a priority for me! I'm especially happy to hear that the combination of historic landmarks, local life, and storytelling met your expectations. Ending the tour with a little refreshment is my way of saying thank you for joining me on this journey. Hope to welcome you again for a different route or new adventure on two wheels! Warm regards, Osman Altay

A wonderful way to experience Istanbul, with a knowledgeable and friendly guide

Osman was a wonderful host for this exciting bike tour. He shared a few different options with us, and then tailored two different routes together to suit our interests. He is knowledgeable, energetic and kind. Biking around Istanbul was a great way to see the city and experience it's culture and learn about its history. I highly recommend this experience! Thank you for everything, Osman!
