Asian Side of Istanbul Free Tour

Top!

My tour with Haktan was my third GuruWalk in Istanbul. This was also my third visit to Istanbul, one of my favourite cities on Earth. Haktan's tour from Topkapi Palace to Üsküdar was THE best walking tour I've ever done in Istanbul. Haktan is energetic, extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and knows how to keep one's attention. If you're tired of the worn-out, boring, scam-filled Taksim and Grand Bazaar, look no further: a true Istanbul immersion awaits you on this comprehensive and fascinating tour. HIGHLY recommended. Teşekkürler sevgili Haktan!

Great experience, a guide with impressive knowledge and fantastic English, full of humor and great stories.

We had a great time with Haktan, it was actually our second tour after the old city one which we also recommend (I guess the fact that we booked the second tour with him speaks for itself). He’s very informative and has great sense of humor. It was great to see the less touristic side of the city and beside the highlights Haktan gave us some additional information on what to see, where to eat, etc. We’ve learned plenty about your highlights but also about the country and its history. Surely a must do in Istanbul!

Ferhat was a great guide to explore the Asian side of Istanbul with. All of his food recommendations were delicious. We even ended up revisiting to some of the restaurants! He is incredibly knowledgable about the local culture; both of the people and food. Highly recommend!

absolutely recommended, very easygoing, and responsive guide, great tour, and the vibe of the entire time is super nice and relaxed with enough data to make it very informative, but by far not as dense as a history class

This walking tour in Istanbul is highly recommended! Our guide was excellent, his English was fantastic, and he was always available to answer any questions. Definitely a 10 out of 10.

Haktan was a pleasure as a guide! Very informative, and relatable. He had many repeat walkers and we wish we had more time to take another walking tour with him as well!

Ottima esperienza, guru molto preparato e coinvolgente, disponibile. Il tour è stato interessante. Ottima la scelta del traghetto

Amazing tour - Haktan is a very good guide :) Did both of his tours and had such a great time, learnt a lot, and got a lot of great recommendations!

I’ve done loads of tours over the years, and this one with Haktan was honestly one of the best. He was an excellent guide — extremely knowledgeable, very detailed, and incredibly interesting. His explanations brought every place to life, with fascinating insights and stories you wouldn’t find in a guidebook. I will be booking him again tomorrow!

A wonderful day exploring the foodie paradise of Kadikoy. Knowledgeable and engaging - knew all the best places to eat!
