Istanbul Private Walking Tour: Highlights & Gems with a Local
Oh, the places you’ll see as you explore Istanbul with one of our friendly local Istanbul hosts! Whether you have just one or two hours to spare or a full day on your hands, you'll experience the city in all its glory with an itinerary planned around your schedule and interests. You could weave your way through a neighborhood or two (we recommend checking out one on either side of the Bosphorus Strait), visit iconic landmarks or discover lesser- known spots like the overlooked streets below Galata Tower. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
