Itinerary

Cihangir Beyoğlu District. This neighborhood is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Istanbul. What makes this place paramout; Especially , The Galata Tower is here. Furthermore, There are two face in that neighborhood, one is the most touristic side the other is less-know side by tourists. The other important thing about the neighborhood it reminds us of Europe, its calmness, buildings ,structures and famous people usually live there etc. It is definitely a must see.

60 min

Our second stop is Üsküdar. There are many things that make this neighborhood important, but the most important is the Maiden's Tower. Here where we can sit a nice Cafe to watch the Maiden's Tower by drinking tea on the observation terrace built for local people opposite the Maiden's Tower.

60 min

Kuzguncuk is the only place in Istanbul where local people and famous people live together and where neighborhood solidarity occurs. The people living here are like a family within themselves. Another feature of this neighborhood is that it was used in many Turkish series. The general subject of these series is to explain neighborhood solidarity to the audience.

The best tour guide ever

I found Mustafa in an instagram post. From the beginning he was super kind to me and he gave me his help even without knowing if I should provide his services or not. Finally we booked the transfer from the airport to the hotel. A dinner cruise with hotel pickup and drop-off and a private tour of the Asian side of the city. Without a doubt Mustafa deserves a 12 out of 10. We have traveled throughout the Asian part of Istanbul visiting local places. We had a wonderful meal and he is also an excellent photographer. He also gave us some tips for our last dinner in the city.Without a doubt 100% recommended. Thanks for everything.

Mustafa made us discover the real Istanbul, places where to try the real Turkish flavor, gave us unique information about the culture of this country. We also visited non-tourist places. He provided us with airport transfer support. nice and also available as a photographer.

Booked a tour for my parents

I found Mustafa online and booked 2 day tours on behalf of my parents who visited Istanbul for their first time (they are in their 70s so not too great with technology) Mustafa was reliable and would keep in contact with me and send me pictures of them while on the tour , he also tailored the tours to suit them avoiding places that maybe too hilly and listening to what they like. I highly recommend and how to use Mustafa should I visit Istanbul with my family sometime soon I hope !

Thank you for your great feedback, I hope see you soon 🤗
