Such an amazing tour. Our guide was very friendly and a wealth of Knowledge of the area. Me and my friend were the only two on the tour and by the end it felt like we were just hanging out with an old friend. I have been to Istanbul twice before this trip but I learnt so much this time. And the local Restaurant he took us to was some of the best food we had all trip - I would highly recommend this trip.

Loved this tour, and will definitely be recommending to others. Well worth the time and money, our guide was amazing, and we gained so much more knowledge that what we would have doing it by ourselves.

What an awesome (and tasty) tour! My guide Tolga was very knowledgable, kind and passionate about his job. This was a great experience I would recommend if you love food and adventure off the tourist map!

This is a great tour to do if you want a snapshot of the history and sights of Istanbul. My guide, Fatih was very knowledgable and obviously passionate about his job, with a great sense of humour! Yes, you can go to these places without a guide but I felt I got much more out of it with one, plus we got to skip the lines! Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour of Istanbul but I recommend doing it in conjunction with some of their other tours as they all complement each other well. We saw many things and my guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about his job and his country! Highly recommend.

The In Focus experience was a wonderful opportunity to talk with people displaced by the war in Syria and to hear their stories. It was also great to learn about the Olive Tree and Small Projects Istanbul, the NGO that runs the center. The tour leader, Jen, was knowledgable and warm. She created the tour out of a desire to help people understand the impact of the Syrian refugee crisis on individuals and families now in Istanbul, and as a way to show things that are being done to help. It was inspiring to see the center, the people that are there participating in it's many programs, and to feel empowered by the small things people can do to change lives. If you want to know more about what is being done in Istanbul to help Syrian refugees and to support this project (they had craft items available for sale made by women served by the center) this is a great way to do it. And the food was to die for. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to put a face to the refugee crisis in Syria and how many of these people are now living their lives in Istanbul.
