Overview of the tour in Istanbul

Explore old Istanbul's street art scene with the original Alternative Istanbul tour.

The FREE Istanbul Walking Tour is perfect for tourists and sight-seekers. It is the perfect way to familiarize yourself with the old Ottoman capital.

RESERVATION IS REQUIRED because our tours have limited space for a better experience.

We designed this tour for solo travelers, couples, small groups, and families. Reservations for big groups (6+ people) are not accepted.

The tour is only in ENGLISH.

Professional and licensed tour guides conduct our tours, and booking and joining the group is free. Considering that these tours are our guide's full-time job to make a living and will be a moderate-sized group for your comfort, we recommend tipping if you are happy with the guide. The recommended minimum tip is €10 \ $10 \ 300 Turkish Liras per person for their job.

Things to note

We recommend arriving at the meeting point at least 15 minutes before the tour starts. Your guide will wear a red shirt or jacket and carry a red umbrella.
Remember that a free tour is a guided tour in which each person rates the guide's work and gives a tip when the tour is over.

Also, if you won’t be able to join the tour, please don’t forget to CANCEL YOUR RESERVATION!! If you cannot attend the tour, please cancel your reservation; otherwise, the guide will await you.
