This tour is so fun!! I would recommend it to anyone. The guide was super knowledgeable and taught us so much about the care of the animals in Moda. It was so sweet how the animals knew her as well. Be ready to make many new (animal) friends üôÇ

This was one of the best RY experiences I’ve done

This was one of the best RY experiences I’ve done. Burca (the guide) is such a kind and compassionate person. She knows every dog and cat in town and shares details about their lives and personalities. It was wonderful to see how well the animals are cared for by the community as a whole.

10 out of 10!!!

10 out of 10!!! This was a moving and heartfelt trip inside the relationship the community has with the street dogs and cats and it's really beautiful. Our guide was THE BEST!!!! I recommend this to anyone visiting Istanbul as these furry citizens are a very prominent and important part of life here, so understanding their role is eye-opening.
