Istanbul Eurasia Bike & Boat Tour

Ahmet was fantastic and the bike and boat was great and value for money.

We had an amazing bike tour with Can & two other Aussies we had not met before. We had a great time enjoying the cycling on both sides of the Bosphorus with a fabulous ferry ride included.

I had a blast on this tour. To begin, the team was flexible in helping me manage some scheduling issues, which really kept my trip on track. During the tour, my guide, Aliya, did a terrific job. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the city and shared just enough to keep interest without information overload. I like that the journey can be adjusted to your pace and that the key stops were well curated. The ferry hop was a nice addition. I enjoyed seeing both sides of the city in a way that made me feel connected with the city and its people rather than running around in a gas guzzler. Huge win. I'd absolutely check out their other tours on return. A highlight is the stop at the pier turned dock, coffeeshop and library. We had a great coffee, enjoyed the views and people (and duck) watching.

Great experience! Cem was very accommodating, helping with our reservation. Ahmet & Omar led us on an entertaining ride giving us history of landmarks along the way. The pace was perfect for our group. They kept us in check and I felt safe. Would highly recommend this tour and will ride again with them next time I am back!

Omer was awesome. They are very helpful, professional, and kind. Had a great time and I would recommend.

Excellent tour with great guides. Some busy traffic areas and hills. Guides did everything to make sure each individual had a great time. We had a problem and the guides went out of their way to help us without impacting the rest of the group/tour. Thank you very much@

So much fun! We always try and do a bike tour when visiting a new city as it’s a great way to get connected. This tour was excellent and we highly recommend it as Istanbul is large, diverse, and across two continents. It’s not for the faint of heart though given you’re riding through the “controlled chaos” that makes this city amazing!

This bike and boat tour was one of the highlights of our 4-day visit to Istanbul! Our guide, Can (pronounced “John”), was friendly, knowledgeable, and brought the city’s history to life with fascinating stories about Balat, the Galata Tower, the Walls of Constantinople, Maiden’s Tower, and Florence Nightingale’s connection to the Crimean War. The four of us were initially disappointed to discover the bikes ere not e-bikes as assumed. However, Can adjusted the pace and route so well that it quickly became a non-issue. Istanbul isn’t a particularly bike-friendly city, and we even had a couple of mechanical issues at the start. My bike seat wouldn’t stay up, so Can eventually swapped bikes with me—a great example of his excellent customer service. The ferry ride between Europe and Asia was a unique bonus, and biking on two continents in one tour made for an unforgettable experience. If you’re comfortable riding in an urban setting, I highly recommend this tour.

Guides were informative and this was a beautiful way to sightsee the city. However, the pace and difficulty of the tour is more medium/hard for certain populations and is not a leisurely stroll in some parts. Be warned!

This was a cool way to have a local experience- see lesser known neighborhoods and take the local ferry. The guide Omer has lots of interesting takes on Turkish living. The ride was more strenuous than other tourist bike tours I've done in other cities-wear comfortable clothes and bring sunscreen. Ladies, bring TP with you and be prepared for the squat toilet if you need to go.
