Our Story

As an Oxford-educated historian and published author, with a wide interest in the politics, history and culture of the Balkans ands the wider Middle East, our founder will walk (and talk) you through the city of Istanbul. Your walk will be designed according to your own interests and predilections: stressing either, the historical, the cultural or the purely picturesque. Not just a guided walking tour, I‘N’C will offer you a veritable walking seminar while witnessing the many splendours of Istanbul’s past and present.

That was then and this is now . . . no longer in the city that I love and therefore I am now using this page to spread news and awareness about Istanbul’s past, present and future.
