I highly recommend the Asian Side walking tour! Our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming and shared many great recommendations for places to eat in Kadiköy as well as local history. I had a brilliant time and would recommend the tour to anyone who wants to learn more about this less touristed pet of Istanbul. Also, the ferry ride is stunning!
