Istanbul in kleuren: Balat Tour

Specerijen, gedroogde vruchten, noten en zaden behoren tot de vele schatten die te vinden zijn op deze bazaar, ook wel bekend als de Spice Market.
In de straten van de schattige wijk Fener bevinden zich cafés die overlopen op de trottoirs, bistro's die Europees-Turkse gerechten serveren en oude houten huizen. Het is een oud Grieks-orthodox en joods gebied.

Our favorite tour. Perfect for families studying classical history. It was very well managed and scheduled to show us lots of history that filled in gaps in our history lessons. Highly recommend. Also, this one was especially good because it's a female tour guide who addresses everyone. The male tour guides in Türkiye will not talk to the women in a group.
This tour is well paced and informative with a knowledgable guide. We saw interesting parts of Balat that we would not have otherwise visited and got some real insight. We would highly recommend this tour!
What a sweet tour. Just a walk around a cute neighborhood with lots of history and color. Tried some great coffee and bought a couple souvenirs to bring home.
This was one of our favorite tours in Istanbul. Our guide was communicative, knowledgeable, and very friendly (and didn’t mind our frequent stops to photograph cats on the street). This tour felt unique and away from the classic sights around the city. Highly recommend for something that feels a bit different and special.
The neighbourhood is very lovely and colourful with small houses and artisan shops. It’s a different vibe in Istanbul. We liked our guide Rose she was an expert guide.
I think this was my favourite place and tour. Rose was so nice, welcoming and genuine. It would be shame not to see these places if you are visiting Turkey. A must do tour for sure. Highly, highly recommend!!
I really enjoyed this tour. Rose was very kind and friendly and she knew a lot of stuff. If you visit Istanbul, I highly recommend it!

Amazing Balat tour with Rose! She is knowledgeable and super friendly. The tour was relaxed, informative, and full of fascinating stories that brought Balat to life. We discovered hidden corners, learned about the history, and got great local tips. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul, Rose made it a memorable experience!
