Meet James Arman, the Englishman with a twist! After living in New Zealand with his wife, he’s swapped the southern hemisphere for Istanbul’s vibrant streets, calling the city home for the next two years. Since August 2024, James has been adding his sharp wit and writing chops to The Other Tour’s blog, while impressing guests with his keen sense of fashion and occasional dance moves (yes, even as a vegan!). With a degree in civil engineering and a passion for exploring new cultures, James is the perfect blend of intellect, humor, and rhythm—making him a true Renaissance man on our team!

Discover Istanbul's iconic Maiden’s Tower, a historic landmark on the Bosphorus. Enjoy breathtaking views and uncover its amazing history.
Istanbul's vegan scene is thriving with diverse options, from traditional Turkish dishes to cafés in neighborhoods like Kadıköy and Cihangir.
The Rumeli Fortress is more than just a historical monument; it symbolises the Ottoman Empire‘s strategic genius and architectural mastery.
We offer a unique, immersive travel experience across Turkey — not just Istanbul's lesser-known corners, but also the valleys of Cappadocia, the ruins of Ephesus, and the coastlines of Antalya and Bodrum, engaging guests in cultural activities like local home visits, market explorations, and Bosphorus cruises.
What we specialize in, above all, is matching each client with the right professional guide for wherever they're headed in Turkey — though if we're being honest, our roster is still concentrated mostly in Istanbul. As of August 2026, that roster stands at 54 professional tour guides, each one personally vetted rather than pulled from a directory. Most of what we arrange are daily and multi-day private tours, guided primarily in English, with guides available in other languages on request.
We also provide a full range of wheelchair-assisted guided tours, custom itineraries, and specialized tours covering historical, cultural, and niche interests like Jewish heritage, vegan spots, and bird-watching — now paired with a guide roster that reaches Ankara, the Black Sea, and the wider Mediterranean region. We also offer transportation services with professional guides for a more personalized and flexible experience.
The Other Tour is an immersive way to experience Istanbul and the rest of Turkey, led by licensed local guides who take you beyond the tourist spots into the lived culture and quiet corners of Cappadocia, Antalya, Ephesus, Bodrum, and the Mediterranean. We also build personalized travel planning, private tours, and custom itineraries — crafted around what you’re actually curious about, in any region of the country.
