About This Tour
Istanbul is a multicultural city made up of many pockets waiting to be uncovered. With a day to spare, navigate through the city with a Host and immerse yourself in its rich cultural diversity. You could visit all the famous attractions, take in the beauty of the iconic mosques of Istanbul or delve into the belly of the city and live like the locals do by exploring the tangles of streets and bazaars that give the city its personality. Your Host will help you make the most of your time in Istanbul, whether it’s in the heart of the city or the neighbourhood you’re staying in. 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.
