Outstanding tour with Alp!
What can I say. What an awesome guy. Alp walked us through an amazing neighbourhood with a personally designed street art tour. It was so much more. The whole area is a coffee culture melting pot. Small shops and lots of locals. I highly recommend this tour. And stop off at a couple of coffee shops along the way!

Above and beyond with Alp 🤩
We had such a great tour of the Kadikoy neighborhood with Alp. We saw the amazing murals and even ran into the Photography festival. He gave us so many other recommendations for our time in Istanbul as well.
We can’t wait to come back to town to go on another tour with our favorite guide, Alp!

Mine is absolutely fascinating. She picked my star sign and showed me parts of Istanbul , Relatable and Fenner forgive spellings that were absolutely unique. When I return next year I will be doing a tour with her on Sinan the great architect.
Such passion and how endearing is she with cats.

Wonderful way to see the city -recommended
The street art tour is the second tour we've done with Alp (also did the 10 tastings tour 2 years ago). Alp is a warm, engaging and interesting guy who kept our family (2 18yo lads) entertained. The street art was fascinating and great to visit residential areas a tourist might never see. Alp's recommendations were spot on for lunch as well.

A Wonderful Experience
We had two nice days with Mine, and both were excellent. She was prompt, friendly, and very knowledgable. We learned far more about Istanbul in these two days than we ever could have on our own. I would highly recommend Mine to all guests visiting her city.

Off the beaten tourist track
We had a fabulous morning with Alp. We’ve been to Istanbul a number of times and this tour exploring street art in a very hip neighbourhood is a great way to spend a few hours.
Alp was full of information and knew so much about the artists of the murals of the area. Easy to chat to and we have no problems in recommending him to others!
