“Truly Other”

Chantal from South Africa joined The Other Tour in 2014 with her family and we had an absolutely fantastic time. Here is what she wrote about the day…

My family and I were in Istanbul for 2 days and wanted to do something a little different and more personal. We really enjoyed the day with Fethi and Murat, touring some unconventional spaces in the city. I’d been to Istanbul once before and The Other Tour gave me an alternate and contemporary perspective on this unique historical space.

Would definitely recommend doing this tour to anyone who is curious and interested in alternative narratives.

Thanks Guys.

Definitely a concept that should be further explored in more cities.
