Sinan our guide was terrific. Very knowledgeable about all things Türkiye not just food. The time between offerings was just right and the quality of the food was 5 star. This tour is absolutely fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone interested in food and wanting the experience the real Türkiye.

Great exposure to different areas of Istanbul. 8 different food stops. It's a long tour (6 hours). It's a lot of walking mostly flat with a few stairs. Bahri, our guide, was great. He explained all the dishes and their histories. Bahri also knew the appropriate times to stop, give history of the area, and a break in the walking.

We had a wonderful and totally memorable food tour with Kahn. We ate so many delicious things that we never ever would’ve found on our own and the guide was friendly, knowledgeable, charming, and totally on top of every last detail. It’s also unique because you go over to the modern side of the city by ferry, so it really is a wonderful way to get to know the city. This tour was recommended to me by a friend, and I have to say, it really delivered! Now let me be your friend and recommend it to you!

It is almost a full day, but paced so you don’t get tired out. Our guide Feyzanur was wonderful. She was organized and prepared and fun to be with. She had a good rapport with all the vendors we visited.

Get to try all sorts of amazing food across two continents while walking through the cultural fusion that is Istanbul. Bahri created a professinal, friendly and relaxing environment that makes you appreciate the experience even more.

It’s a food tour with the bonus of walking, a spice market, history, taking a ferry and being in two continents.

Ali was very thoughtful in his organization of the tour. He made sure to explain and educate as we went along. He had us try food that is typical, tasty, and at the best locations. I would strongly recommend it!

Tunc was an amazing guide! He ran our group very well. He taught us about turkish food and culture. We had a special request to try a Turkish dessert and Tunc made it happen! We went to 8 of the best resturants and street vendors and had the most memorable experience!
