Skip the tourist traps – here are the real local tips I give my guests as a licensed guide in Istanbul!

Bosphorus Cruise – But Not the Tourist Kind
Most people overpay or get stuck on packed boats.
👉 Take the Dentur Bosphorus ferry instead – 2 hours, round trip, super clean, chill atmosphere, and great service. Just $10 per person at the ticket counter. Enjoy the ride like a local.
