A fun few hours! - We had a wonderful few hours with Furkan and Gaya. We were fortunate it was only us so got lots of attention! We saw lots of the city and they were very knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed talking about the city and to get their different perspectives on life in Turkey. The ride was not difficult. Only suggestion would be to have e-bikes available for those that want them and the meeting place address on the app was incorrect and we arrived in the wrong place - about 10 minutes walk from the Balat station which is where we were supposed to be.

Best way to see the real Istanbul - Spent a great day with Çem learning about the history of Istanbul while biking around real neighborhoods. Biking was such a great way to see real neighborhoods and experience Istanbul outside of the normal tourist zones. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in a fun and relaxing way to see the city.

Fantastic bike tour of Istanbul. - Fantastic bike tour. Cem was knowledgeable, informative and engaging. And a super nice guy. We had a great time exploring part of Istanbul we had never seen before. Along the way, Cem educated us about history, culture, food and sport. The bikes were in great condition and easy to operate.

Excellent bike tour of Istanbul’s 2 continents - We had a wonderful bike tour with Cem. We had our own bikes, so we met him at a different tram station. He communicated well. We rode for about 4 hours and 12 miles, taking ferries to the Asia side and back. Cem was very knowledgeable and has fantastic bike handling skills! Coffee and a sweet at the shop powered s through the afternoon. Great tour!

Wonderful cycling tour! - We had a fantastic day cycling with Cem, Omer and Efe! They were knowledgeable and patient, helping all riders to participate with comfort, despite having to climb hills at times. We got to experience the authentic life of Istanbul on both continents, Europe and Asia. A must-do experience!

A must do tour! - You definitely should do this tour! Ahmed really was a wonderful guide! He was generous with his ample and impressive knowledge of a city he loves. Istanbuls geography was difficult to us as first time visitors and this tour really helps you to get to grips with this. The history and culture is fascinating. A must do as far as we’re concerned. Well done Ahmed !
