We loved our day with Derya! She introduced us to so many delightful tastes of Istanbul. Starting with a spectacular Turkish breakfast in a tiny shop full of character, then proceeding through many charming neighborhoods, where we sampled, fresh baklava, Turkish coffee, a fish wrap made with loving attention to the spice market, then a ferry to the Asian side, where the feasting continued. She has a wonderful personality, and all the places we went or her personal favorites and we felt so welcomed. Thanks to her, we fell in love with Istanbul.

Sude was an outstanding guide. She was very knowledgeable about both the food culture and history of Istanbul. She patiently answered all the myriad of questions that we asked her and took her time to explain every detail. At no time did she ever make us feel that we were wasting her time! Highly recommended!

I recently went on my first guided tour, and to be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. I’m not usually a big fan of guided activities, and I had been to Istanbul before for a business meeting, which showed me the city’s excellent food scene. However, my expectations were completely exceeded. Firstly, our guide Furkan was incredibly knowledgeable and had a fun personality. He made the tour enjoyable and engaging. Secondly, we went to a kebab shop that served the best kebab I have ever had. The chef cooked it right in front of us. Thirdly, we received a warm welcome from the waitress, staff, and even the people on the street. I had a fantastic day eating and exploring the city. I will definitely be back soon and I look forward to taking more tours with Furkan.
