Balat & Fener was a last-minute addition to our Istanbul itinerary, and we're so glad we decided to go!
We were running a little late because our Grab driver dropped us at the wrong location, but Mr. Yunus patiently guided us over the phone and made sure we found the meeting point without any issues.
This tour introduced us to a completely different side of Istanbul. Walking through the colorful neighbourhoods, visiting the historic Greek School, beautiful churches, and charming streets gave us a deeper appreciation of the city's rich multicultural heritage.
Do be prepared for a good uphill hike—comfortable walking shoes are a must, and it may not be suitable for those with weak knees or limited mobility.
Mr. Yunus was knowledgeable, friendly, and explained the history and significance of every stop clearly. It was a wonderful and memorable excursion, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore beyond the usual tourist attractions.

Thoroughly enjoyed my Balat & Fener walk with Yunus. He made the whole experience so well paced and manageable especially that one hike up the hill. He was also so knowledgeable about the history and very relatable as well. Made for a fun and active day!! Thanks Yunus!!!

Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Yunus , our names were mentioned and we felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! The guide and tour was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. We had a great day there, which obviously also added up to the experience.
Yunus is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). I truly enjoyed walking through the entire area. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to walk in such a quiet and peaceful environment.
The atmosphere is so special that it really felt like home to all of us. All respect for Yunus who does a great job there; a true sample of excellent tour guide!
Highly recommended, you will appreciate the true culture of Turkish people. Thank you.

the guide is very knowledgeable not only about the place but also share food and place recommendations too. And the story telling makes the tour fun. it is a easy tour except for 1 hill with a steep elevation. it is definitely a tour to visit to know the other parts of the turkey.
