Experience Details
This is one of the most unique tours you can ever find in anywhere in the world. It's more like an experience of being a local in a neighborhood of Istanbul for some days.
- If you have already been in Istanbul and did all the touristy stuff, you are reading the correct spot.
- Even if it's your 1st time in Istanbul and if you are the kind of traveler who searches "Visit Istanbul like a local", "Local things to do in Istanbul" on google, stop searching you found the right thing here.
Basically what happens is that, you will stay at an apartment, completely private for you. But, you will keep visiting nearby locals at their homes for culinary, art and cultural experiences (listed on days' tour details). But the idea is that you visit the locals at their homes to form a local bond with them.
After visiting a group of friends, you will pretty much feel like you are a part of them and you will finish the school of being a local in Istanbul .
Come as a guest, leave as a friend.
