Begin your adventure by meeting your tour leader in the historic Balat district on the European side of Istanbul. This charming area, famous for its colorful streets, traditional houses and lively atmosphere, serves as the perfect starting point for your journey.

This part of the journey offers a great mix of physical activity and cultural exploration.
After cycling through lively streets and quiet parks, we will stop at a cozy local café.

Not worth the money! I felt completely ripped off. While the tour guides were friendly, they didn't really put in much effort, and the whole experience was underwhelming. The bike ride mostly took place in the industrial port, and when we finally reached a well-known area, the explanations were practically nonexistent. I’ve done other bike tours in Istanbul for a lot less money, and they were 100 times better. This tour missed an interesting route and a guide who could actually teach us something. Definitely not something I would recommend.

The coolest part of this bike tour is that you get to see parts of Istanbul that are off the beaten path. My 17-year-old absolutely loved it—he enjoyed the fast-paced ride through the city streets, as well as the bike paths along the Bosporus and Golden Horn. The stop at the mail office in the Balat neighborhood was super cool, too. We finished the tour with a delicious lunch and my son got a great haircut at a local barber while I enjoyed some amazing freshly squeezed juice. If you’re traveling with teens, I highly recommend this tour—it’s a fun and active way to explore the city! As an adult, my only critique would be that we didn’t get as much history along the way as I expected, and the cost felt a bit high for what we got. Also, a heads-up for those considering this: it’s not for timid bikers. Riders need to be comfortable navigating city streets and busy pedestrian areas, and we biked at a fairly quick pace.
Helpful? Yes
A really nice bike tour, mostly on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, which takes advantage of Istanbul's limited bike infrastructure. Just keep in mind that major tourist highlights like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia aren’t directly included in the route. Emre and Mert were wonderful guides—very friendly and helpful. The tour offered a great opportunity to talk to young locals about Turkey, which we really enjoyed. The only downside was that there wasn’t as much detailed information about the sights as I would have liked. Nonetheless, we had a fantastic time with Emre and Mert and would happily do this tour again!

The Eurasia Bike & Boat Half-Day Tour had some great aspects, but there were a few things that could have been better. The bike ride was a fun way to see both the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, and the boat ride offered beautiful views of the city. However, the bike I was given wasn’t in the best condition, and that affected the overall experience. The guide was friendly, but the English was a bit difficult to follow, so I didn’t get as much out of the tour as I had hoped. The price also felt a bit high for what was offered.

We had a fantastic time on this bike tour, especially the ferry/bike combo between the European and Asian sides of Istanbul. Our guide, Ahmed, was excellent—he’s a dental student, and we had some really interesting conversations about Istanbul, Turkey, and the local culture. He timed everything perfectly, allowing us to stop for a lovely coffee and pastry in Üsküdar and enjoy a long ride along the Marmara. Since it was just my partner and me, we essentially had a private tour, which made it even more special. There were a couple of minor technical issues—one of our bikes had a flat, but we quickly swapped it out, and our guide blew a tire on the way back, which caused a bit of a delay. However, it wasn’t a big problem. On a fun note, Ahmed also taught me how to use WhatsApp maps, which was a great bonus! All in all, a memorable experience, and I highly recommend it!

The organization was seamless, with a safe and scenic ride, including ferryboat rides and stops at interesting points and local coffee spots. Our guide, Cem, was exceptional—professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. His passion for Istanbul and ability to engage with people made this tour the highlight of our 5 days in the city. Highly recommended!

The tour was a nice way to see different sides of Istanbul, but it could have been better. The bike ride was pleasant, though navigating through the busy streets felt a bit intense at times. The route was mostly along the coast, which provided great views, but I wish there had been more information about the sights we passed. The guide was friendly but not very detailed in sharing the history and significance of the places we visited. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I expected more insight and a bit more structure for the price.
