    Talking Turkey

    Bülent was outstanding. Very good company, felt like a learned friend rather than a guide, interesting, well informed, highly entertaining, and worth every €. We would recommend him to anyone and will definitely be in touch when we return.

    Bulent best guided tour ever!

    Bulent is 30 year guide and native of Istanbul. He knows the old city, the new city and the Asian side like the back of his hand. He knows the history of every historic site and every part of the city. We visited the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the castle as well as the Hippodrome. He got us to the head of all queues and explained each are in detail. He always gave us free time to explore on our own and yet stayed available for questions. He is highly knowledgeable and well respected among the guiding community. On several occasions other guides came up to say hi, exchange laughs and some times take selfies. He took us to the Asian side on day 2 and introduced us to a local delicacy at a family owned restaurant. We got extraordinary service from the owner who was of course a friend. He took us to hand woven silk and woolen rug merchant for demos and displays. Bulent has a masters degree in Turkish Rug history and added depth and details to the presentation. He is flexible and easily changed our tour to our wishes I would highly recommend Bulent for a fabulous tour of Istanbul. You will have an enjoyable and insightful day. Oh and he has a great sense of humor!

    Best private Tour of Istanbul

    Bulent Aslan was my private Tour Guide during my 3 day stay in Istanbul. I had lived there back in the 50's when my Dad was stationed there as a US Army Advisor to the Turkish Army. I wanted to visit the place I used to live as well as relive some of my experiences as a 13 year old who had to travel over one hour each way from the Asian Side to the European side to make my way to an American School. Mr Bulent was the best in helping me relive my old memories. He was recommended by the Doubletree Hilton in Kadikoy where I stayed during my visit.

    2-Days Private Walking Tour in Istanbul: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.

    How much does 2-Days Private Walking Tour in Istanbul cost?

    +

    Prices start at $300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2-Days Private Walking Tour in Istanbul take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.

    Is 2-Days Private Walking Tour in Istanbul worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Days Private Walking Tour in Istanbul?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2-Days Private Walking Tour in Istanbul suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2-Days Private Walking Tour in Istanbul?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2-Days Private Walking Tour in Istanbul start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Istanbul?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Princes Islands Blue Journey from Old City Istanbul, Famous Istanbul Pub Crawl #1 Nightlife Experience, Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Istanbul?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Istanbul?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2-Days Private Walking Tour in Istanbul?

    +

    Included: Public transport. Not included: Private transportation; meals; 25 $ Topkapì Palace per person; and 15 $ Harem per person. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2-Days Private Walking Tour in Istanbul include hotel pickup?

    +
