    The stroll around Istanbul was amazing. I brought a list of sites I wanted to see and Emir augmented it with local knowledge and sites off the beaten path that made the experience exceptional. His depth of historical knowledge on the sites and of the city both ancient history and of current events of Turkey was great. 5 stars for his tour!

    I could not think of a better guide then Burak. He was the most amazing person, we lost our passport, therefore late to the tour. Nevertheless he accommodated and still did the entire tour a hour late. The conversation was amazing, so much knowledge and so insightful about every little thing. Saw all the hidden paths and knew his way around the city and gave so many recommendations. I TRAVEL TONS AND HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS SO TRUST ME

    Right from our first emails I knew we were in good hands. Tugba was so organised and accommodating! When our flight got moved to an earlier one, and even when that flight arrived earlier than planned, she was there to greet us right on time! We got through everything on our list of must-dos in Istanbul, got a good souvenir deal and when we ran out of energy, Tugba brought us back to the airport well on time, without us having to any thinking or walking. Perfect day!

Private Tours in Istanbul

Whether you have a full day, half a day, or just three hours, it’s more than enough time to explore mosaic-adorned mosques, frescoed churches, and incredible markets on our city tours of Istanbul. Led by a local guide who’s intimately familiar with their city, our private tours in Istanbul uncover the hidden haunts and lesser-known landmarks of the city that straddles two continents. On a private tour of Istanbul, the city opens itself up for exploration beyond its top tourist sights. From the iconic Grand Bazaar to traditional Turkish taverns, the city is brimming with amazing attractions – but our personalized tours of Istanbul also let you see the Turkish capital through a local lens. The city may be a living museum, but some of the best things to do in Istanbul are the modern pastimes of the people who call it home. On a walking tour at any hour, you’ll marvel at ancient architecture, explore the crisscrossing lanes of local markets, and discover hole-in-the-wall eateries serving the best Şiş Kebap. A private tour with City Unscripted won’t get you caught in a tourist trap – simply tell us what a dream local tour of Istanbul looks like to you, and we’ll make it happen!
