My guide Kerim was fantastic! He knew real Istanbul food, culture and history. We ended up with a couple extra hours just walking around, simply because there was so much more to see, and taste, and experience! Not your usual touristy gig. Highly recommended!!

Gamze’s energy and knowledge will hold a special place in my heart and mind (and tummy). I learnt so much about the food and culture across Istanbul. Loved how Gamze adapted the day to suit me and my tastes and interests. 10/10.

Do not eat anything before this tour! There is so much food, you'll want room to enjoy it all! Ugur was an excellent tour guide who shared the vast history and culture of Istanbul along with its culinary treasures. We only had one day in this interesting city, and he helped us feel like we spent our time well. Be brave and try everything, even the unfamiliar. Our time in the spice market allowed us to bring some treats back with us. Thank you for giving us an unforgettable day in your city!
