Experience tomorrow the best of
Istanbul with Withlocals

"We booked an Evening in Istanbul trip with Goda and friends. It was a great way to start our 4 night vacation. Goda was very knowledgeable, very patient with us and her personality was warm and friendly. She was also kind enough to wait an hour for us to arrive as our travel was delayed. I highly recommend booking with her. "

"We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our time with Goda, exploring so much of Istanbul's rich history and architecture. She seemed to have knowledge about every building, street, and neighborhood and was an expert at front is from place to place. Goda expertly wove her own journey and existence in Istanbul into our tour, helping us to understand the modern challenges of this historic cultural crossroads. We covered a large area on got but the time went fast and we posted with so much information that helped inform the rest of our stay in Istanbul. Thank you Goda, we hope to see you again!"

"Faruk was a fantastic guide and host, very knowledgeable, willing to share and go the extra miles (literally) to accommodate us. We scheduled our tour for the night of our arrival thinking it would be a great introduction and that’s exactly what we got. Faruk met us near our hotel in the Old City on a rainy eve of Republic Day and we soaked all it in. I only wish we weren’t as tired from our journey, would have loved to stop for tea, ice cream or a quick bite with Faruk. Next trip!"

"Ugar is very knowledgeable in the history and city of Istanbul. He took us on a loop walk with the use of public transportation also around the city visiting many different neighborhoods including tips on navigation, history and culture for us. He also set us up with another tour guide for our next day, having her meet us at where we were having breakfast in the morning. He was so accommodating for our family of 6 and made our overnight stay easy for us to navigate around this amazing and bustling city. Many thanks to Ugur!"

"Farouk was a wonderful guide who explained the history of the city to us, as well as pointing out great food spots. He gave us the name of a local restaurant that will always be a core memory for us—only locals, no tourists, great food. "

"We enjoyed Hakam’s company as we wound our way through Old Town and crossed the bridge into Karakoy and through the Galatta Port area. He gave us information about the areas and tips on where the locals eat and gather. It was very nice of him to pick us up and return us to our hotel."

"We had been staying in the historical part town if I had not booked this evening tour with Faruk I would not have even known about this part of Istanbul. His little anecdotes were really what made the tour great, but he also took us to all the right spots. Highly recommend seeing this side of the city in the evening. "

"We had a flight delayed that caused us to be n hour later than planned, but Abdullah was patient, positive and helped us with directions despite the setback. He adapted the remaining time to where we could meet and we had an AMAZING time. We never realized how beautiful this city could be in the evening. Unforgettable, and hope to come back again someday."

"Ayse was a lovely tour guide. She showed us some great streets and buildings, including good spots to take photos. She has extensive knowledge, which was extremely informative but most of all, it was her passion about Istanbul that made the tour enjoyable. Thanks Ayse 😃"

"Abdullah was a great guide—very informative, as well as being humorous. I recommend him as your guide—110%."
