Istanbul Bike Tour with Dutch* tour guide
You will leave together with the enthusiastic local guide and we will follow the water towards the estuary known as the Golden Horn along the newly constructed parks and bike paths where for centuries the Ottoman port was. Of course there is the space to ask the questions burning on your lips to our guide. In addition, there will be plenty of time to shoot beautiful pictures that you can show back home! Good to know: the sometimes chaotic car traffic in this metropolis of millions will not bother you at all during this Istanbul bike tour. As we cycle along the Golden Horn you will become aware of the dynamics of this beautiful city. We see the imposing red Greek school, the exceptional Bulgarian iron church, the spectacular Byzantine ramparts and the Feshane with its fascinating history. In the pilgrimage town of Eyüp, we enjoy a delicious ice cream or salep drink with the locals among the greenery and monuments. You will also get to know the colorful old Jewish and Greek neighborhoods of Balat and Fener.

This is what customers say about this tour
13 rate this tour with 4.9 starsWe were lucky enough to find a top-notch guide, although I realize that might not be included as standard. We did the Golden Horn tour to go beyond the classic highlights, and we more than succeeded. Highly recommended. It's just a shame that the price plays a bit of a role in the "highlights"—it's on the steep side.
A really fun experience to get to know the city in a different way
The tour and guide were great fun. However, the meeting point was very difficult to find. A sign or flag with Baja Bikes would be helpful.
Nice guide who knew a lot. Saw many interesting places.
Nice guide and skilled cyclist
A really fun bike tour with a super enthusiastic guide!! Highly recommended for discovering the city in a different way. Almost no one cycles there, but we never felt unsafe. Thanks!
We had a lovely bike ride along the Bosphorus and through a number of somewhat lesser-known neighborhoods. Our guide *** was a great storyteller who had a lot of knowledge about history and Istanbul and took plenty of time for our questions. The bikes were also great.
Had a great time with the family. Highly recommended! (Even for my 11-year-old daughter)
Great way to explore Istanbul and the guide was also very good (and fun), with of course the challenge of such a big city by bike.
