Highly recommend this...

Highly recommend this tour, our guide was very informative and the food was amazing. We never would’ve tried half of the food if we’d done it ourselves. So full at the end of the day.

A Life-Enriching Day in Istanbul

Published on Feb, 2025

I came to Istanbul for a hair procedure (what else?) and had just one day before the procedure to explore. I'm very glad I chose to spend it on this tour. Our guide was fantastic. He had learned everyone's name in advance, and warmly welcomed each of us as we arrived. Every stop along the tour was carefully chosen and well paced, and the food excellent. In addition to the great food, we stopped in at a modest 16th century mosque (we had the place to ourselves), took the ferry across the Bosphorus twice, visited the Egyptian bazaar, plus walked through several neighborhoods, so the day felt well spent. Along the way our guide shared stories and history with us that enriched the experience, and was very happy to entertain our questions be they about food, history, or life in Istanbul in general. Highly recommended.

Excellent food tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Salih was a brilliant guide. Informative and entertaining. Don't eat breakfast before this as you are going to have so much nice food. This is well worth doing.

Best ever tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Attended this tour last week after a City Tour and I have to say this was one of the best tours I've ever attended. Senay our local tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly. The tour started with breakfast near the local spice market, and a eatathon for 6 hours. The tour included ferry rides to the Asian side of Istanbul and food and drinks. ONE MAJOR PLUS WAS every stop, the restaurants we went to felt very local and not full of tourists. A fantastic tour if you want to discover culture and try some local food.
