What an epic day out in Istanbul, exploring both sides of this magnificent city! We spent a full day walking through various parts of Istanbul, immersing ourselves in its rich history and vibrant culture. Our tour guide, Ozkan, was fantastic. He provided fascinating historical insights and introduced us to hidden gems throughout the city. From the bustling spice markets to delightful local treats, every moment was memorable. All in all, I totally recommend this tour. It was an unforgettable experience!

Ozcan gave us the best tour possible, he was incredibly patient with us, showed us places we would have never went without him. The restaurants he showed us were delicious! The places were incredible and he had a little historic background behind every place we went. We were all fascinated by the tour. It was amazing to get to know some major places in the city! 100% recommend!!

We had an amazing food tour with Didem. She was so friendly and welcoming. All the food was delicious and Didem’s local knowledge was very impressive. Would recommend to anyone, great way to get your bearings in the city, eat local food and learn about local culture

The history of the food and the different sources of the food. Everywhere we went was interesting and accessible. Well organised and the guides knowledgeable and friendly.

DeeDee’s communications before the tour were excellent and this set the tone for the whole tour. She was patient and knowledgeable. Excellent around. The food places she took us were great and in the end we couldn’t eat any more! But we did go back to several places. She gave us recommendations for a Turkish Breakfast which was also excellent. Communication after the tour was also excellent. I can’t recommend this enough!

I hate to leave a bad review as our female guide was so sweet but would like to offer some constructive feedback and an honest review for other travelers. We were told we were meeting our female guide who was there in addition to a male guide. No problem with this, but it does add to cost when tipping and good info to have ahead of time. I don’t feel these two were passionate about food the way other tour guides I have had are. On food tours you typically have a set agenda/menu with sampling all while receiving information about the history and culture of the food and area. On this tour we spent a lot of time ordering and waiting. In the first almost two hours we had walked far , waited, and only had so far eaten something very similar to american pizza. Our conversation was lovely but very casual and mostly amongst the other guests on the tour. The female guide did answer a lot of general questions we had about Turkey. I would recommend the hosts add dishes that will be intriguing to guests and come with more dialogue to talk through. We left the tour still hungry and disappointed.

The guide was sweet and kind, but not a foodie. The place was slow and not a lot of information was shared. I have been on several food tours and they were incredible experiences. Unfortunately this was disappointing

Guide didn't show up leaving me standing alone in the middle of the square. Did not receive any contact saying the tour had been cancelled, I had to get in touch with them to find out what was happening.

Our tour guide Sude was very very nice, she knew anlot about the local history and the places we went to. I would HIGHLY recommend taking the service as a first adventure because the guide will tell you how to avoid bad places to spend money at. Overall we had a blast!

I enjoyed this food tour. Only 5 tourists including me, so it was good amount. All of the food we tried were so good tasty. Tour company sent me whatsup app message with tour guide name and picture, so it was easy to find tour guide at meeting point, I thought it was thoughtful specially place you don't know well. Tour guide Dilsad was very friendly and enjoyed her company.
