Istanbul Day trips

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.

Our Ancient Troy tour was like a journey back in time 🫶🏼walking through the ancient ruins, hearing the stories of Troy, the Trojan War, and the people who once lived there made me appreciate history in a different way. The journey from Istanbul was long, but absolutely worth it. Our guide made the experience more meaningful with the stories, history, and little details. I’m so greatful that we took the time to visit Troy! 😊

Amazing experience! Our tour guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and took great care of us throughout the trip. Highly recommended!

Our guide - Muhammed Avcı was excellent, had much knowledge and expertise and was very friendly. The bus driver was fun and happy. The trip itself was excellent, we got to see so much and had an enjoyable day.

Great experience and worth every peny. We were only the ones who participated in the tour and it seemed like we had our private guide. Our tour guide, Elaida, was very knowledgeable about the different tourist spots. So much to see in just a span of 12 hours. Great lunch as well.

This pass was super convenient and saved me a lot of time. I didn’t have to queue for ticket just scan the QR code and walk in. The only attraction that required meeting up with a guide was Topkapi Palace. The main queues were for the security check and the museum section inside the palace. Overall, it made sightseeing much easier.

Great guider for this schedule.Thanks for give us great time!

I had an amazing experience exploring Balat. I was actually the only guest on the tour, which made the experience even more special and personalized. Special thanks to my tour guide, Can, for being so kind, knowledgeable, and guiding me so well throughout the tour. Everything was smooth and well-organized, and I truly enjoyed learning about the history and culture of Balat. The whole experience felt very personal, smooth, and memorable. Highly recommended!”

It was our first time in Istanbul, and we decided to try this tour—we definitely have no regrets! Even though it was a whole-day trip, we enjoyed every moment. Our tour guide, Ilayda, never disappointed us. She was so charming, knowledgeable, approachable, and friendly. She made the entire experience more enjoyable and memorable. Thank you so much, Ilayda, for accompanying us throughout the tour. We truly enjoyed it and would definitely highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul. See you again!
