Introduction
At The Other Tour, we don’t just offer sightseeing. We offer seamless, immersive experiences — and that includes full wheelchair rental support and accessibility planning. From hotel delivery of your wheelchair to custom-designed, wheelchair-friendly itineraries across the city, we’re here to help you explore without barriers.
Why Rent a Wheelchair in Istanbul?
Istanbul is a city of contrasts — ancient alleyways and wide modern boulevards, steep hills and waterside promenades. For travelers with mobility needs, having the right equipment can make all the difference.
🔹Traveling with aging parents?
🔹Recovering from a sports injury?
🔹Visiting with a child or adult who needs mobility support?
We’ve seen it all. And we’re ready to assist. Manual and electric wheelchairs, mobility scooters, even wide-seat or pediatric models — whatever you need, we arrange it. And we deliver it directly to your hotel or Airbnb, anywhere in the city.
We Handle It All — So You Can Focus on Istanbul
What makes our approach different?
We don’t just help you rent a wheelchair — we integrate it into a full cultural experience. When you book a tour with us, here’s what you can expect:
🔹 Hotel delivery & pickup of your wheelchair — we coordinate it for you
🔹 24/7 local support via WhatsApp or phone
🔹 Customized accessibility planning — so you can visit Hagia Sophia, the Grand Bazaar, or even hop on a Bosphorus ferry
🔹 Private or small-group tours with guides who understand accessibility needs
🔹 Flexible pacing — we adjust the rhythm of the day to you
You won’t have to worry about navigating cobblestones, finding ramps, or whether a restaurant has an accessible restroom. We’ve done the homework — and we’ll be right there if something changes.
What You Can See — Even with a Wheelchair
Here’s what some of our past guests have experienced while using a wheelchair:
💠 Hagia Sophia & Blue Mosque – fully accessible with ramps and lifts
💠 Topkapı Palace – spacious courtyards and exhibitions (with some mild limitations)
💠 Grand Bazaar – yes, even the bazaar! With the right wheelchair, the ancient streets become a joy to roll through
💠 Ferry rides across the Bosphorus – modern ferries are wheelchair-friendly, and the view is unforgettable
💠 Cultural stops off the beaten path – hidden Armenian churches, school visits, home-cooked meals with local families
If you’ve ever felt like traditional tours aren’t designed for you — you’re right. That’s why we created something different.
Need a Companion Too? We’re Here.
Renting a wheelchair is just the beginning. If your loved one needs assistance throughout the day — someone to push the chair, help navigate crowds, or simply be there for support — we can arrange that too.
Whether you’re joining one of our signature tours or planning a day of your own, we can provide trained, kind, English-speaking companions to assist elderly guests or anyone in need of mobility support.
It’s more than just logistics — it’s about peace of mind.
