A Locals Guide to Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey (B)

Sure, a visit to Istanbul wouldn’t be complete without visiting all the major attractions of the Old City, the Asian side, and the European side. But, if you have a spare day in Istanbul, make like a local and take the path less tourist-trodden or just wander the streets. You might just like Istanbul from a local’s perspective.

A private tour with an Istanbul Local Guide will show you the best things to see in Istanbul as well as where the locals eat, shop, drink, explore and relax.

There’s a new breed of tour guide on the travel market. They are young, mostly university educated and well-informed in local and world affairs. They are up with popular culture and what is fashionable. This means knowing the latest local fads in food, fashion and socialising.

As well as sharing an in depth, educated knowledge of local history, art and architecture, they can guide you to the hottest restaurant, art exhibition or off the tourist trail markets.

Book a private full or half day tour with a local, and you are bound to see much more of Istanbulthan you will find in the guidebooks. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
