★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,882 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $31Our pick

Start near the Blue Mosque at Just Bar, meet hosts such as Maral, Sara, or Eli, play drinking games, then ride toward Taksim with tequila or raki shots. The seven-hour night visits about three clubs and ends in Taksim Square. It suits solo visitors and social groups ready for a late, high-energy night.

“This was absolutely the best Bar Crawl I’ve ever been on! And I’ve gone on several in different countries. Maral is an amazing host. I loved all the games that we played at the beginning to get to know each other, and the bars we went to were fun and the music was great. They also give you nice cocktail shots instead of the usually cheap ones you normally get on Bar Crawls!”
