“Dripping with personality and energy”

Review of The Other Tour

TheOtherTour by TheOtherTour
June 9, 2026
in Istanbul Travel Blog, Review, The Other Tour
Reading Time: 1 min read

Simply the best tour I have ever been on…. Information and experience dripping with personality and energy…

Istanbul is a whopper city of more than 20 million people.. So to try and see it in a day is fool-hardy but by golly did our tour guides give it a good go…

We had a packed itinerary that wasn’t just fulfilled it was added to.

I work in the Arts and can find tours stuffy at times with information delivered a la mundane but ‘The Other Tour‘ was never in danger of that.

History was punctuated with humour, facts were refreshed with an edge.

All that said… If you like your good-times served straight down the line and dressed in trousers pulled above the waist then this may not be for you.

If you have a lust for the liberal then this could be your best bet.

About us

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.

Newsletter

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.
