Description

Istanbul, a city where the heartbeat of art resonates through its ancient streets. The artful essence of Taksim and Beyoglu, interwoven with cultural threads, unveils a narrative of creativity. In the labyrinth of Cihangir, where history whispers through cobblestone alleys, one encounters an artistic mosaic. Wanderers find themselves amidst avant-garde galleries and hidden ateliers, each stroke of a brush telling a silent story of Istanbul's vibrant soul. Taksim Square, a pulsating hub, not only echoes with political history but also serves as an open canvas for artistic expressions, transforming the mundane into an urban masterpiece. Beyoglu, a district alive with the rhythm of galleries and eclectic cafes, invites one to explore the fusion of tradition and contemporary creativity. Istanbul, where the past converges with the present, reveals itself as a living masterpiece of art.

Enjoyed the neighbourhood a lot

Amazing city with nice little corners keep surprising me. Always something new you can find in the city. Cihangir is a cute neighbourhood. It was a nice walk

Perfect guide for all types of Istanbul tours

This was a second time I have booked Rose for an alternative tour and it was simply awesome! She knows every hidden gem in istanbul and she is able to fulfill and manage all kinds of special requests. I will definitely go for another city tour with her next time as well.

Memories to last a lifetime

What an incredible experience! We all feel very grateful that we got we got to explore Istanbul under the care and guidance of Rose. From the first point of contact, Rose was responsive, considerate and so helpful with helping me decide on what our day trip would involve. We also had very specific questions about accessibility which he gave answers to. We were blown away by the kindness, friendliness, flexibility, patience, and going far above and beyond our expectations. Wonderful people I've had the pleasure of meeting - huge thank you! If you get the chance to have an experience with Rose you must take it :)

Super special evening

Talking and walking with Oscar and hearing about life in Istanbul, history, food, etc. He was an amazing companion who opened up my horizons and showed me around the exciting area of Beyoğlu.

Great tour TG 👍

We had a pleasant walk with TG in the fancy Cihangir streets. If you already saw Taksim area this tour fits you well because it's a different neighbourhood than Taksim. It's not as crazy as Taksim too :) The tour ended in a very cosy area full of fancy bars, cafes,pubs and street art. Definitely off the beaten path

Fantastic place to have a walk

Istanbul is an amazing city. I didn't expect to see such lovely streets full of artisan stores and pubs. I've been to Istanbul few times but this tour got me to an unknown spot. I'm happy to see every corner or that beautiful city. Many Thanks Rose 🌹

A different istanbul

just decided to experience a different type of tour in istanbul and found rose on insta. Her tours are excellent very informative and friendly personality is another plus. This corner of the town is definitely worth a visit. I recommend for the artistic point of view or colours or funky streets
