We—a group of 10 friends—were excellently guided by ***. With his extensive historical knowledge and all sorts of "faits divers," it was extremely interesting and educational. Throughout the bike tour, he provided an accurate overview of Istanbul. In short: a city break with this bike tour is a must.

Led by an excellent guide, who also pays attention to history, you'll visit the highlights of the European side of Istanbul. The route is minimal, and the bikes are excellent, making cycling effortless. Highly recommended!

We booked a bike tour with Baya Bikes to explore Istanbul in an active way. Unfortunately, the weather threw a wrench in the works – it was raining too heavily to cycle safely. But instead of canceling everything, we were offered a walking tour as an alternative. And what a wonderful surprise that turned out to be! The guide was fantastic: very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and with an impressive knowledge of Istanbul's history, culture, and hidden stories. Thanks to his guidance, we saw not only the well-known highlights but also less touristy spots with unique stories. We were in a small group of five, which made the experience personal and relaxed. Despite the rain, the atmosphere was excellent, and the walking tour offered a perfect alternative to see and learn a lot about the city. I highly recommend this experience – and especially Baya Bikes. The flexibility, the organization, and especially the quality of the guide made this an unforgettable experience. Even in the rain, Istanbul was at its best!
