Take a 3-hour walking tour into Istanbul's past with a guide, then climb up to the Galata Tower's summit for a bird's eye view of the city.

    • Go on an afternoon walk through the Galata and Genoese districts with a knowledgeable guide and entry to the Galata Tower.

    • Imagine walking among Ottoman sultans and Genoese traders with your guide weaving tales as you wander down the cobbled streets.

    • Weave through Galata's narrow streets, visit the historic Galata Mevlevihanesi, and climb the Galata Tower for panoramic city views.

    • Step from a cavernous church with its frescoes, to a hushed synagogue bathed in stained-glass hues, a testament to the city's multicultured history.

    • Fun fact: Galata Mevlevihanesi housed the Mevlevi Order, famous for their twirling Sema ceremonies, a dance representing their spiritual path.

    Excellent. Mr. Burak is well-spoken, knowledgeable about the city and the world, and a beautiful, humble soul. I highly recommend him to anyone exploring the city.

    We had Buraq as our guide and he was amazing. He is a very knowledgable and energetic person who goes into the details of history while also speaking about contemporary events. We had a lovely experience. I would recommend this trip with a guide. Without a guide, the experience is just spaghetti without sauce.

    Barak is a very knowledgeable and interesting guide with a breath of thoughts and ideas on most aspects of Istanbul history, culture and current affairs. We learnt so much about the city from many angles and he gave us as much of his time as we wanted. We never felt rushed and his local knowledge meant we got to see things we would never have found on our own. It was an excellent and varied tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

    The guy who showed us around has an icredible knowledge about History, not just Turkey but about whole Europe. He was entertaining and very kind, also his talkative personality makes it easier to go with the flow.
  • Walk into Istanbul’s past

    Your Istanbul adventure kicks off in Karakoy, where your expert guide leads you on a historical walk through the Galata and Genoese districts. Wander narrow streets, like the historic Banks Street, once lined with prestigious financial institutions. Hear stories of Istanbul's past from your guide as you navigate the vibrant Istiklal Caddesi, a bustling pedestrian avenue. Keep an eye out for the Galata Mevlevihanesi, a former dervish lodge tucked away on a side street. This historic building served as a center for the Mevlevi Order, also known as the Whirling Dervishes, an important Sufi order.

    See the city up close

    From the Galata Tower's viewpoint, see the silhouettes of Ottoman palaces and the Bosphorous snaking through the city. Cross the Bosphorus Strait on the Galata Bridge and see the Golden Horn, a natural harbor that has shaped Istanbul's history. You might even spot local fishermen casting their lines, adding to the charm of this vibrant city. Continuing your exploration, you'll encounter the Camondo Steps, a pedestrian walkway that blends Neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau architectural styles. This curved stairway once offered a shortcut for the Camondo family, today it's a symbol of the city's artistic spirit.
