Istanbul Bike Tour with a local guide

Istanbul is truly an amazing city. This is the place where history and present come together, like Europe meets Asia. It is a chaotic city that is very vast. A pitfall for tourists in Istanbul is that you start walking, losing a morning while having seen very little. That’s why you can cycle through the city with us. Our guide in Istanbul knows exactly what you want to see and tells you everything about Istanbul. The Istanbul bike tour starts a 2-minute walk from the Hagia Sophia Museum. At the traditional fish market of Kumkapi, we stop to enjoy the view of the sea, the islands and the Asian part of the city. We cycle through the Roman Valens Aqueduct and taste the traditional drink Boza. We also make a stop at the Süluymaniye Mosque, where a beautiful panorama of the city can be seen. Istanbul has so much to offer that you are 100% sure to have a truly wonderful morning.

The tour was very good. The guide took us through streets you wouldn't easily find on your own. He explained a lot about the history of the city. That was very interesting.

A fantastic tour led by a great guide! ***. Clear-spoken, Dutch, well-explained with great enthusiasm. Very busy traffic, but he skillfully guides you through that too. Also gives lots of tips on things to do in the city. Highly recommended!
