    A great experience!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our evening tour of Istanbul with our tour guide, Feruza. This was a private tour that include just the three of us, Mr. and Mrs. TravelCat and Feruza. This was a create your own itinerary tour, so we were limited only by our time, imagination, and jet lag. We had originally planned a three-day stopover in Istanbul, but we were thwarted by the legendarily bad Turkish Airlines phone customer service. After 19 phone calls and hours on the phone, Mr. TC threw in the towel. BTW, everything else with Turkish Airlines was GREAT, the plane itself, food, lounge, and on plane service. Go figure. As a result, we had 6 hours to see Istanbul on the evening of our arrival before heading to Athens early the next morning. Hmmm, probably not going to get to see everything. We chose to see the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. The rest would be just walking around the Sultanahmet area. After arriving at IST, we checked in to our airport hotel, the Airside Yotel (great for early morning flights – you’re already through security) and had dinner at the wonderful Turkish Airlines business lounge - the best airport lounge I’ve ever enjoyed! We then, contacted Feruza via WhatsApp. She had provided her contact info to us the week before – extremely helpful! After wandering the airport, we finally found our way downstairs and outside where we met Feruza. She greeted us like long lost friends! For the rest of our time together, we did indeed feel like we had a friend in Istanbul. We got in a nearby taxi and traveled to the Sultanahmet area. Feruza took care of the taxi fare both ways. There was no funny business by the driver demanding more money in either case. We enjoyed touring the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque with our new friend. We discussed the Turkish educational system, economy, and Islam, not in a dry didactic way, but with very personal insight from our guide. Feruza has a charming personality and a great sense of humor. We enjoyed our short time walking and talking with her. I do believe that she would have stayed out with us all night if we had asked, but Mrs. TC was worried that Feruza would be too tired for her regular job in the morning, so she made us all go home to our house/hotel so that we could get some sleep.

    Great Evening in Istanbul

    My son-in-law and I just finished a wonderful night tour of Istanbul with Devanshu as our guide. It was obvious to see that Devanshu knows and loves his city, and even though we only had a few hours he was able to show us many of the sights. If we are in Istanbul again we will definitely book another tour. Thanks to Devanshu and Tours by Locals!

    Istanbul Night Tour with Drinks: Private & Custom with a Local: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Istanbul Night Tour with Drinks: Private & Custom with a Local cost?

    +

    Prices start at $32 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 Istanbul Night Tour with Drinks: Private & Custom with a Local take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Istanbul Night Tour with Drinks: Private & Custom with a Local worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Istanbul Night Tour with Drinks: Private & Custom with a Local?

    +

    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 Istanbul Night Tour with Drinks: Private & Custom with a Local suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Istanbul Night Tour with Drinks: Private & Custom with a Local?

    +

    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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Istanbul Night Tour with Drinks: Private & Custom with a Local 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 Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City 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.
