Free walking tours in İstanbul

I would highly recommend this tour with Arjun if you're interested in deeply mystical and spiritual topics. I was impressed by Arjun's ability to connect ancient history of Istanbul with different places around the world while pointing to the deeper philosophical and spiritual meanings. I've not only gotten a good introduction to Istanbul, but also its place in the world and many interesting perspectives and concepts to think about. Thank you Arjun!

I joined this walking tour from Taksim to Galata, and it was one of the best experiences I had in Istanbul! The route was thoughtfully planned, covering not just the famous landmarks but also hidden gems and local stories that brought the area to life. Our guide Halil was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, making the history and culture of the district easy to understand and truly engaging.

Kasra being an historian just blew my mind … he shared little gems of information and history that brought the tour alive. He’s is beyond knowledgeable- and so friendly so kind and patient - I wish had many more days in Istanbul to spend it touring with Kasra. I would so recommend him if you want to truly understand the rich history of Istanbul the architecture and culture.

Emrah è una guida molto preparata e ben disposta a rispondere a tutte le domande e a dare suggerimenti.

Very interesting. Took us to places we might otherwise not have visited. Informative as well. Very enjoyable afternoon.

Our guide Salih was super friendly, the tour was informative and we would definitely recommend it! Super nice to see the city from a different side Thx for the great time!!

Excelente tour por la ciudad No turística ; el guía se adaptó a nuestro pedidos y llevó a lugares muy interesantes ! Recomendado !

Great food stops but the expected amount for the tour was €50 per person and that was too much.

It turned out I was the only person signed up for the tour but KC didn't hesitate to give me the full experience and was extremely kind and thoughtful.

Ferhat is a competent friendly guide. He has great historical knowledge. Very recommended!

The best tour for Hagia Sophia. You will see Hagia Sophia inside. It's really magnificent building. The guide won't speak 20 min in front of building and then leave you to sreach by yourself on first floor. He will lead you through the building and the story at the same time. Nurullah is really polite guy. You can ask him what ever you want and he will try to help you. Thank you! 😊

Having visited Istanbul before, we sought a tour that would offer a unique and memorable experience--and our guide exceeded our expectations. He was very knowledgeable about the city's culture and history, and his patience in answering all our questions was greatly appreciated. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and enriched by the experience. We loved this tour and will remember it for years to come. Thank you!

The tour was incredibly comprehensive, and Fatih is both a great person and a skilled historian! He passionately explained everything in detail, taking us to beautiful places in Istanbul! He showed us different places from our culture and explained the religious part with respect! We found it very interesting! Our favorite part was the Blue Mosque explanation; we highly recommend more people to join his tour since Fatih is very knowledgeable about Istanbul! Greetings from Aldo and Pam! Good luck with your trip! Thank you Fatih 😃

I have participated many tours but Mustafa as a former teacher and a current lisenced tour guide he was the best guide full of fun and his English is perfect. He helped us a lot to share the best time. I liked his jokes about the cultures :)

Abdullah is a very nice and knowledgeable tour guide. We learned a lot about the history and the architecture of the old city.

It was an amazing trip, thank you very much.

Emre is a very good guide. He knows all. He was able to answer our questions. After the tour we got a lot of good tips and tricks. Emre, we really enjoyed the tour! We will recommand you. Thans you

The guru cancelled our tour the night before due to lack of attendees, although the site says there is no minimum amount of attendees. They rescheduled to a new date that I couldn’t attend. I was able to book another walk that morning.

Garby is awesome! So knowledgeable and fun to tour with. I highly recommend. He’s the man.

It was very informative, Hakan was very knowladgable about his home town. We enjoyed a lot! Especially for the first day in Istanbul it was a good orientation to the city! Highly reccomended

Garbi is the Guru, knowledgeable and accommodating.

Hilal is a very nice person, helpful, understanding. We were able to adjust the trip to the conditions. Not the best guided tour I ever had in my life but ok.

Excellent history knowledge, fun facts and accommodating. Highly recommend Garbi!!!

This was one of the best walking tours ever. Anil is sweet, smart and fun. He is very well informed and super flexible. Awesome guy! Absolutely recommended ❤️

Ferhat was a great guide and we had a good time with him. It was a mix between a guided tour and being with a friend who makes us discover his city. Ferhat loves the neighborhood he makes us discover, which makes the visit really interesting.
