Corlulu Ali Pasa Medresesi
We will begin our tour with an old madrasah, a religious school from the time of the Ottoman Empire. It reflects the period before the separation of education and religion, which took place with the founding of the Republic.
Grand Bazaar
We will explore the backstreets of the Grand Bazaar first, and then take a brief look inside to get a glimpse of items related to daily local life. Please note that our visit to the Grand Bazaar will be very short, and keep in mind that the bazaar is closed on Sundays.

5.00This tour was recommended by a friend. During my time in Istanbul I took a couple of tours but this one was by far the best. Yunus was our guide. He spoke excellent English and was available for away questions throughout the tour. He welcomes any questions on any topic. To be honest there were not many questions as he covered all aspects of life and culture in Turkey. I have visited Istanbul many times and the areas we visited in this tour were all new to me. I would highly recommend this tour and you will be lucky if you get Yunus as your guide. He is an asset to his profession and is an excellent host of his country.
A Great Way to Learn How the Locals Live

5.00Our tour guide Yunus was wonderfully knowledgeable. He’s clearly very intelligent and well-educated and gave us a great sense of what daily life in Istanbul is like. He also was very open to our questions and openly encouraged us to ask questions. We really enjoyed our tour and learning about the local life!

Incredible tour that provided context to everything on our Istanbul visit

5.00This tour was a highlight of our trip thanks to our incredibly informative, intelligent, engaging and friendly guide Yunus. We went to places in Istanbul we wouldn't have been to otherwise and learned about Istanbul and Turkish society and culture including customs, economics, religion, cultural and historic influences, politics, literature, education, healthcare and more. Stories and examples ensured we were never bored. Yunus encouraged us to ask questions and we took full advantage, sating our curiosity in a way that a standard tour or internet research could never do. Thanks to this wonderful tour, we have a greater understanding of this incredible city. It provided context for everything we saw before, during and after the tour. Don't miss it!

5.00Yunus is excellent- great local chat about culture and context. Friendly and easy going, coped with cultural disquiet from a mosque security with polite confidence. Delicious Turkish lokum we had to buy some too delightful to leave

5.00Not the usual tour of Istanbul, perfect if you have already visited the main attractions or to see a different side of the city
