Istanbul is considered to be one of the largest cities in Europe but with half a day to spare, you may be wondering how you can make the most of your time here. You couldn’t possibly explore all of Istanbul in a week, let alone a day – but we can help make your trip a memorable one by pairing you up with a Host who can take you to the places you've always wanted to experience. You may prefer to spend your time wandering through the city's cobbled streets and bustling bazaars, losing yourself in Istanbul's rich cultural diversity, or you could instead absorb Istanbul's history with a trip to one of its museums. Within 24 hours of your booking, we will contact you to find out about your interests so we can assign a like-minded local who will create a bespoke experience for you. Your Host will suggest an itinerary and agree a meeting time and place, but you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
