FAQ
LET'S TALK ABOUT
"THE OTHER TOUR"
What is the Other Tour?
Since 2011, The Other Tour has redefined Istanbul exploration, providing a curated full-day adventure that spans private Bosphorus cruises, neighborhood walks, educational visits, authentic home-cooked meals, Turkish bath indulgence, and vibrant live performances.
Can we customize "The Other Tour"?
Yes, The Other Tour is a bit different each and every time. We would love your input to create a unique experience tailored just for you.
How can I book The Other Tour?
Step into the essence of Istanbul, not as mere tourists but as explorers.
Unlike any regular sightseeing adventure, our goal is to present you the raw, authentic soul of Istanbul - challenging your notions, kindling deep conversations, and letting you dive deep into local life.
Bosphorus
The Other Tour always kicks the day off with the exploration of Bosphorus, both through her awesome neighborhoods and cruising with a private boat.
Street Markets
The local street markets are teeming with fresh produce, people, and color that bring our cameras to life and get our stomachs rumbling. We walk, talk and taste through them.
School visits
We stop by local schools, interact with the children, and occasionally even take part in their lessons. We visit music schools run by NGOs and listen in the beautiful lessons.
Commencing our adventure at 9 am, we delve into the day’s varied activities, which often stretch beyond 10 pm.
Primarily a private tour, when we do group, we limit it between 3-12 individuals. This isn’t just a physical journey, with around 3 hours of walking, but also a mental voyage.
Lunch at home
An authentic, home-cooked lunch at a real Turkish household in a district that millions of people call home. Most participants remember this part of the day as their favorite!
Turkish bath
Experience the ancient tradition of a Turkish bath with a massage. We will not only experience this ancient Roman tradition, but also feel fresh, look good, and get a massage.
Dinner & Music
We will dine with traditional Turkish music and maybe even some dancing at a traditional Turkish tavern. This will be the perfect way to end our day-long journey along the Bosphorus.
