– THERE IS MORE TO ISTANBUL THAN PALACES & MOSQUES –

Have you ever toured a city and wished you knew someone there? Someone with the inside scoop on the city; who you could trust and would show you the things you would have never seen on your own? This is how we want travelers to view CIRCLE ISTANBUL.

Circle Istanbul was created by professional guides, who are passionate about their city. More so, our tour was designed for travelers who have seen the major sights and are now ready to see the heart of the city.

If you are unsure if this traveler is you, choose A or B. Do you?

If you answered mostly A’s than CIRCLE ISTANBUL will be a wonderful experience for you. If you answered mostly B’s then you may want to sit this one out!

With the right guidance, the REAL Istanbul, in all it’s wonderful insanity, becomes possible to grasp. Come spend your day with CIRCLE ISTANBUL, and watch the city become a cultural beehive – buzzing with local life and humming with stories.
