Travel far enough and you meet yourself.
The True
Essence of Travel
At “The Other Tour”, we believe travel is more than just fleeting moments spent at iconic locations. It’s about diving deep into the heart and soul of a city, understanding its past, and grasping the nuances of its present. Istanbul, with its myriad tales, is just the beginning.
THE OTHER TOUR
about us
Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures.
Travel is a sacred exploration process. Our tours aren’t bound by the confines of cities; they span the length and breadth of life, connecting Istanbul and Turkey’s diverse landscapes with a common thread of human culture and good old-fashioned curiosity.
We don’t just want tourists; we seek explorers eager to dive into local music, art, flora, fauna, history, religion, and sometimes even wind patterns. The Other Tour, an alternative city tour of Istanbul since 2011, offers more than just sightseeing – it’s a cultural immersion experience.
Our Core Belief
The Other Tour is about much more than showing people the “real” Istanbul. It is about profound communication. Its ultimate goal is to never stop promoting the power of travel and the idea that we’re all backs-and-fronts to each other, and we should benefit from the diversity we’re blessed with—the diversity that may initially seem like conflict.
The Other Tour is about promoting peace. It is about creating change, not because we fear the lack of it, but because we burn with a desire for more of it. It is about travel. Travel, travel, travel! Our goal is that everyone in the world should be able to travel. We firmly believe that travel is the best education.
Travel, if embraced, helps us see through the noise of the daily, politically driven, fast-spinning, heavily polluting, and over-consuming world. It allows us to catch a glimpse of the truth beneath the chaos, the truth that holds together the reality we share. That reality, at its core, is rooted in the timeless and universal force we call ‘love.’
We don’t know much, but we know that.
