Guided Walking Tours of the City of Istanbul
and the Littoral of the Bosphorus offered by an experienced
private guide.
As an Oxford graduate in Ottoman-Turkish
history, our guide will provide you with interesting and topical
information on the history of Istanbul and the sights and
monuments visited.
The tours will be designed according to your
interests and predilections: stressing either the historical,
the cultural or the purely picturesque.
Widen the scope of your acquaintance with the
City beyond the confines of Sultanahmet and the Blue Mosque.
Discover the many flavors of Istanbul, strolling through the
hustle and bustle of Tahtakale, visiting the mosque of Rüstem
Pasha, or taking a leisurely stroll across the İstiklâl
Caddesi (formerly known as la Grande rue de Péra) to experience
a side of the City quite unknown to most tourists.
Further afield, our walk could take you to
such places as Tophane, Cihangir, Bebek, or Sarıyer on this
shoreline. Or alternatively, we could venture across the
Bosphorus and discover the Anatolian part of the City: from the
picturesque Kadıköy with its lively fish market, over the
lofty heights of Ottoman architecture present in Üsküdar and
from there hop on the bus to Beylerbeyi, where a
nineteenth-century summer palace and an eighteenth-century
mosque constitute vivid reminders of the City’s history among
the picturesque village which is the district of Beylerbeyi.
But there are so many more sights to behold
that it would be impossible to list them all. If you are
interested to find out more about Istanbul, its Pre-Ottoman and
Ottoman history and culture, and its current vibrancy then you
