Our free tour in Istanbul is ideal for starting your city exploration. Get to know the historic center of the city for free.

A Great Way to Meet People

Joining a walking tour is a fantastic opportunity to meet other travelers. For many, traveling alone is an exciting adventure with a great sense of freedom. However, it can also feel a bit lonely. Venture into the unknown and strike up a conversation with others on the tour who, like you, are traveling and seeking connection. You can make friends and find travel companions. Being part of a group that shares a common language also creates familiarity, especially when traveling in a foreign country.

No Planning Needed

Apart from making sure your camera battery is charged and you have sunscreen, all you need to do is arrive at the meeting point with a big smile and some energy for walking. Your local guides will handle everything else. Every route is planned efficiently to ensure you don’t miss the main attractions and still have time to learn about the city’s secrets only locals know. Many walking tours also include a mid-tour break to rest, use the restroom, and satisfy those hunger pangs.

Get Local Tips

Tour guides are either natives or have lived in the city long enough to be considered locals. They’ve done all the hard work for you, from visiting museums to attending exhibitions, selecting only the best stories and recommendations. They bring history to life with entertaining tales filled with historical facts and the occasional joke. No guide will give you a lackluster experience; they are 100% committed to giving you the best experience possible. Your local guide will be happy to share insider tips about places to visit, things to avoid, and the best local foods to try. By the end of the tour, you’ll feel like a local.
