Magical experience, amazing dinner

Published on Jan, 2025

First off, the guides (both called Zeynep) were fantastic, they made the whole experience better. The dervish was quite magical, dinner afterwards was amazing. My wife chose the vegetarian option and they supplied enough food for three people all of which was fantastic. The food supplied to us non-vegetarians was equally good and equally plentiful. The guides made it feel more like a family dinner than a tour.

Fab night out in Türkiye

Published on Jan, 2025

Beautiful show and the experience was even better with our guide, Alara. She is a charming young woman and was able to answer any questions we had. The Turkish Banquet afterwards was delicious and once again, Alara’s knowledge of local food made the experience that much better

Good Night Out

Published on Jan, 2025

My friends and I had a great time. Alara was very sweet and welcoming. My food was tasty and the dancing was entrancing. I would recommend this to anybody with free time in Istanbul.

Amazing Evening

Published on Jan, 2025

What an amazing time !!! Şule was so knowledgeable and awesome to talk to. She knew the best spots to eat around town. Those places were so good we went back after the tour for more ! Thank you, Şule !!

An evening with friends.

Published on Jan, 2025

Thank you for a fantastic evening with friends thoughtfully planned, a unique experience indeed. This tour felt like we were in the company of friends rather than being guided by a tour guide. Both Zey and Zeynep like any good host engaged everyone in the party in meaningful conversation. Thank you Mohammed K for the recommendation.
