Terrible place, its foreigners and this man does not respect the customs of Mazatlán and because of his comments the stay is not enjoyable

This was an awesome introduction to Istiklal street and the general Taksim area. There was plenty of food and fun cultural tidbits sprinkled in. The tour guide was a local resident and very knowledge about the area and the history. You truly got to have an authentic and local experience of Istanbul.

I highly recommend this tour, the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and we ate incredible food the entire time. We were stuffed by the end of the tour. This is one of the best ways to see Istanbul.

Ilker was our tour guide on this foodie tour. We originally were supposed to have 11 people in our group, but this went down to only 3 people as others could not make the tour for extraneous reasons. While 3 people might not seem like much, it make the food tasting experience much more intimate and personal. We had great lamb kebab with lavash. Ilker did a great job showing us how to drink Raki, and included some customs on how to drink in a group of people. We also went to a Turkish delight vendor, and then to a more musical restaurant. We had musicians join our table after we had some great red and white wines. The music and food here was really nice. We visited a baklava vendor as well, which felt very personal as we were the only people inside the small dessert vendor shop. The baklava was great quality, and we also purchased more to take home. Lastly, we visited a coffee/tea place were some people were playing backgammon. The night wounded down and our bellies were full of delicious food. Ilker did an amazing job explaining everything, including some history of such foods as well as complementing flavours. Bravo!

Atahan was a fantastic guide! He was knowledgeable about the city, knew all the best food spots, and was very fun to hang out with. He made the tour feel more like hanging out with a local friend than a tour guide. This tour is a great way to get to know the city on a more local level, and have great food while you’re doing it!

The guide picked us up and then we did the food tour by walk.
The food was okay and the portion is generous. You really do feel very very full at the end of the tour.
Worth a try if you will like to try local food introduced by a local guide
