This neighbourhood is one of the few in the city representing the true idendity of Istanbul with its unique culture, houses, streets and lifestyle.

In this tour using a delux van with an AC and a driver is a must as all the places are far from each other. If the number of the participans exceeds 4 people, a bigger van will be arranged for an extra cost.
Excellent guide. Quite pleasant and very informative. Really good way for someone with a mobility issue to see the city. Rather than me having to keep up with a ship’s tour, she was able to adapt to my slow speed.
Thank you very much Kevin. I really enjoyed guiding for you and Mary and I'm hoping to see you again some day. Please take care and stay well
Excellent guide
Thank you Robert. Hope to see you again. Stay well
Duygu, our guide for 2 days, knew the city intimately, and offered modern information to go alongside her historical knowledge. She took us to less popular sites, such as Suleimans mosque, which were beautiful, and bigger sites like the Hagia Sophia where she told us exciting details about objects while expertly avoiding crowds. Her patience with our waking pace and constant need for snacks, and flexibility with our special requests to add museum stops made her an incredible guide. We were very happy with our experience.
Thank you Wendy. It was a great pleasure to meet you. Pls say hi to everybody from me. I hope to see you again. Pls take care and stay well
