Ciao! Mi chiamo Şahika. Sono originaria di Istanbul (odio İstanbulite) e ho trascorso diversi anni vivendo in altre città diverse e frenetiche, tra cui Houston, Boston e Londra. Penso di poterti dare una prospettiva unica di Istanbul confrontandola con altre metropoli e, in definitiva, mostrandoti come non sia come nessun'altra città al mondo. Sono una viaggiatrice accanita e apprezzo profondamente le connessioni spontanee che si creano sulla strada; puramente per curiosità condivisa e un accordo tacito di condividere un momento insieme. Cercherò di creare questa atmosfera conviviale nei miei tour.
We had a great time in this tour! The guide was so friendly and genuine! We even went out for dinner altogether after at a local spot :) Would definitely recommend!
Very helpful guy. He showed me the other side of istanbul
We enjoyed the free tour, getting to know a less touristy part of the city. The guide provided us with lots of interesting information and also recommended other places in the city.
If you're in Istanbul and want to discover Karaköy beyond the touristy spots, this tour is a total gem. You get to wander through all the small side streets, hidden corners, and surprising details you’d never find on your own, unless you had a local friend showing you around. And that's exactly what it felt like. Our guide Ungan grew up in this city and shared stories that gave the neighborhood real depth – a mix of history, politics, subculture, and fun facts that made every stop feel meaningful (and often hilarious). We had such a good time and left with a whole new appreciation for the area. Highly recommend if you want something off the beaten path.
The tour was very informative
