About This Tour
Oh, the places you’ll see as you explore Istanbul with one of our friendly local Istanbul hosts! Whether you have just one or two hours to spare or a full day on your hands, you'll experience the city in all its glory with an itinerary planned around your schedule and interests. You could weave your way through a neighborhood or two (we recommend checking out one on either side of the Bosphorus Strait), visit iconic landmarks or discover lesser- known spots like the overlooked streets below Galata Tower. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
