About this tour

This walking tour takes you across the Bosphorus by ferry to explore the lesser-visited Asian side of Istanbul on foot. Over about 90 minutes with an English-speaking guide, you'll wander local markets and bazaars, stop at historic mosques, and stroll through quiet residential streets where everyday life plays out away from the tourist crowds. Along the way there are wide views back toward the city skyline, plus chances to taste local food and pick up a few things at the stalls.

Good to Know Before You Go

The tour meets on the Asian side after your ferry crossing, and your guide leads the whole route on foot, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Departure times and length can shift with the season and how busy things are, and both morning and afternoon slots usually run through the week. Check the current schedule when you book so you have the right start time.

Since the route stops at working mosques and other religious sites, dress modestly. Women should cover their shoulders and knees, and a headscarf is needed to enter a mosque, so it helps to carry one. Men should skip shorts and sleeveless shirts.
