We enjoyed the tour very much. Worth every euro. From 9 am until almost 12 pm.

This is NOT your typical tour. But in 10 years it may be the way a lot more tours operate: skipping the artifacts and exploring the soul of a city. The owner is a young, wise, entertaining entrepreneur who may control the other tours of major cities of the world before he is done. Don't miss this 15 hour top... More

the other tour isn't a tour at all, but a most excellent adventure. it is humorous, poignant, irreverent, insightful, and comes totally from the heart. it is a very special moment in time. it transforms a tourist, and makes them a true traveler, and empowers us all, to become much more than an ordinary visitor. just f...ing do it!

I can only echo the other 5 star reviews of this tour, described by its operator this way: "I invite my friends to see Istanbul. They bring money, and we spend it." The pacing is perfect: a private yacht on the Bosphorus, honey-laced yoghurt on the Asian shore, strolls through places people actually live, beautiful children singing to us in... More

From the moment I heard about this tour, I was anticipating a novel adventure...and I wasn't disappointed. Fethi makes Istanbul - the everyday lives of "Istanbullahs" - seems accessible - if only for a day. The group identity was formed quickly, thanks mostly to Fethi and his brother Murat making us all feel welcome. This is a very long day,... More

We had a terrific 15 hr. day with Fehti & his friends. The yachts from the water, the yogurt dripping with honey, the open air markets, the children who performed for us at school, the delicious lunch at his mom's house, the hammam, it was all so interesting and well worth the money. A highlight for me was sipping hot,... More

The Other Tour was the perfect way to get acquainted with Istanbul on our first day. Fehti is synonymous with The Other Tour, His concept, sense of humor, and attention to detail makes for a truly unforgettable day. Fehti works with his brothers and friends who back him up in making sure that everyone is taken care of. He has... More

Understanding the other tour means getting into the mind of its innovative creator Fethi Karatas. Who is Fethi? It is impossible to get to know somebody by spending a mere 14 hours with a person, so here are a few of my observations: 1) Fethi is creative. His second script Kuzey Güney (North South) was turned into a television show.... More

The best thing about this tour are the guys ( guides) that take you around to all the places on the tour and discussed in the reviews. They are hilarious, smart ,friendly and make you feel like a friend who has come to visit Istanbul. We were there the day they had a big group and took two buses. We... More
