Shout out to Alp, booked through Withlocals. In mid-May we took his "Street Art Tour", which travels through a sort of artsy, up-and-coming neighborhood. Saw and learned the background of about twenty murals and a handful of sculptures, each with a political and/or social history. His English is good, and he knew the area well - several business owners shouted hello on our walk. He offers several other walks - Intro to Istanbul, Tastes of Istanbul...etc. BTW I've booked Withlocals in Verona, Madrid (2) and Ljubljana and each has been great.
