Off the beaten Path Private tours in Istanbul

Hi! My name is Oguz Kosebalaban.  Tour guide and travel writer.  As of August 2013 this blog welcomed over 20000 visitors:  I  mainly provide  first hand travel advise from my tour experiences   working lately mainly in Istanbul, Cappadocia and Ephesus.

A quick note on the private tours I offer :    Before browsing  my travel articles below are some sample from my specially tailored tours I offer affiliated with certified Tursab member travel agencies.    These tours cover the need  mainly  for tours covering  less touristy sites  exploring rare but worthwhile sites of Istanbul. Also added are some of the tours for Istanbul and Ephesus highlights with a more attentive plan.   You may Click on the images, or skip to the following articles.  At the end of the page is the “previous entries” link to read my previous articles.
