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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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!

05

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.

06

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.
