Some Reviews of The Other Tour

A unforgettable experience, hosted by the experienced and well informed Fethi. This must rank as one of travel’s great experiences, and Fethi’s offbeat approach adds huge dimension to an already amazing city, taken from the perspective of daily life in the city, far from the tourist crush of the SultanAhmet. For those looking for something different while in Istanbul, this is a must do.

This is the BEST way to explore Istanbul! We arrived as strangers for our first visit in the city and left with a deep understanding of the people, the food, the culture and most importantly, with a friend. This will not be our last visit!
