I highly recommend this your — it truly is off the beaten path. Salih was an excellent tour guide. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the history and cultural importance of the places we visited. And it was a genuine pleasure getting to learn more about current/daily life in Istanbul and Turkey. Definitely book this tour if you want an excellently curated, cultural, historical, and entertaining experience.

Be surprised
Firstly my guide Salih Batkin was really a great calm knowledgable friendly person
Easy to talk to and answer questions
We went to off the beaten track mosques neighbourhoods and past authentic butcher shops and restaurants
Tasted 2 authentic brewed drinks you don’t see in the main area
I think this is a really good tour to see Istanbul life in the suburb
I throughly enjoyed it

Glimpse the Non-Touristy Istanbul
We travelled by tram toward the university district, and started our tour of non-touristy parts of Istanbul to see some lesser known but equally historically important mosques, a Women's market, the aqueducts, a small significant shop to try some Bosa and ended at a magnificent viewpoint. Denker was a knowledgeable and engaging guide ..... great to get out of the hub-bub to where people who aren't servicing tourists live and work.

Hidden Istanbul is worth it.
We had an excellent tour from Omer. He took me and my daughter to some important sites but also some lesser known and more local places to really get a feel for Istanbul.
Highly recommend this tour to try something different and unique.
Very knowledgeable and friendly guide.

Boza-mazing!
This was a really nice tour, and I'm very pleased I went on it. The regular sites were impressive, such as the Zeyrek Mosque / Monastery of the Pantokrator, the Aqueduct of Valens and the Şehzade Mosque. It was good to have an interesting little break to taste the local boza, and a büryan lunch was very tasty (and filling - you certainly won't need a big dinner later). As a Byzantine history fan, I was also appreciative of the fact that we were able to include the Bodrum Mosque / Monastery of the Myrelaion in the programme.

Excellent tour!
This was an excellent tour. It was so fun to get on public transportation and spend time away from the main tourist centers. We learned a lot about the history of Istanbul, saw a couple of mosques that most tourists never see, and were taken to a delicious restaurant. We ended at the Grand Bazaar. Highly recommend!
