LET'S CRUISE TOGETHER
Are you a gay man visiting Istanbul for the first
time? Are you a stranger to the gay world of this
mysterious metropolis? You surely need somebody to
lead you the way during your first few days.
Somebody who knows what is going on in the gay world
in this city. Somebody who knows and understands
your expectations. Some body who is just like you.
This tour does not aim to cover everyday of your
vacation. A one-time reservation will
normally be enough to help you continue on your own
for the rest of your vacation in Istanbul. Remember
the main idea of the program is to make an
introduction to the gay scene of the city.
OUR GUIDES
We have several young and experienced English
speaking accompany-guides who have been doing these
tours for a while and who are very experienced about
the gay life and gay venues of Istanbul.
Indeed they will be very useful to you in terms of saving
time and energy, mainly because most of the places are very
difficult to find in Istanbul and the gay culture of
Turkey is fairly different than most of the Western
countries. Besides, very few people speak
English or any other foreign languages in Istanbul
and it will be very difficult for you to communicate
with people especially in your first days.
We are not claiming that it is impossible to find
these venues on your own, but with our guidance it will take a few
hours instead of a few weeks and you will be safer.
Our guides will naturally tell you where to go, but
actually they will also be telling you where not to
go, and what not to do. They will also provide you
very useful tips about about the possible dangers
that you may encounter in a big and cosmopolite city
like Istanbul.
