Golden Horn by Ferry and Walking Tour at Fener & Balat
We are licensed professional tour guides in English, Spanish, Arabic, and Polish languages. We love the unique historical richness of our city of Istanbul. In our tours, we mostly give you a lot of information about the history, culture, and contemporary states of the objects we visit. You can always write to us about any special things you need during your visit in Istanbul. It could be about any how-to questions.
Tour description
We begin our tour from the Karaköy area where we get into the Golden Horn Ferry via Karakoy Pier. We have a Golden Horn River Ferry Tour to the Christian Quarter called Fener. From Fener to the historical city walls we walk through the Jewish Quarter of the Ottoman Empire period. Then we walk before the city walls.
At the finish point, there are public transportation opportunities to be back to certain areas. We help the walkers how to go back easily.
