Fabulous “cats of Istanbul” walking tour with Omer and Deniz - After falling in love with the cats of Istanbul through the amazing “Kedi” documentary we were keen to find out more about the city’s relationship with its feline inhabitants. We had a memorable day with the fantastic Omer and Deniz who personalised a day full of not just cats but churches, cafes, restaurants, parks, ferries and even football (!) so we truly got to see Istanbul in a unique light. They are wonderful guides and it was a pleasure to spend a day in their care while learning, laughing and having lots of fun. Their knowledge of the city, its people and its felines was amazing and they were generous in sharing it so we had a brilliant time. Would highly recommend both the tour and - especially - Omer and Deniz.
