I had the most incredible experience during my brief stay in Istanbul, a food tour! Our guide, Derya, was an absolute gem, and she took us on a compelling journey through the city’s culinary delights. We learned so much from her about the fascinating history and origins of Turkish dishes and their makers. What made the tour even more special was that it was personalized to our preferences, so we got to indulge in everything we loved. We covered a lot of ground at an easygoing pace, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul.

We were so lucky to have Derya as our guide for two days while we visited Istanbul. She took us on an adventure through both the old and new city, as well as the bazaars. Prior to our cruise, we connected with Derya via WhatsApp and were impressed by her prompt and clear responses. On the first day of our trip was a driving tour of an off the beaten food paths of Istanbul where we tasted delicious Turkish foods. The second day, we enjoyed a walking tour of the old city where we learned a lot while walking around. We had a great time with Derya and would love to come back to explore the city again with her soon.

We planned a trip to Istanbul before my sister’s wedding to shop for some wedding related items. We wanted to explore the city in a different way and experience some offbeat places that are not typically visited by tourists. We were fortunate to find Derya, who came highly recommended by someone we know. On our first day, Derya took us on a customized food tour that was tailored to our taste, and it was an absolute delight. She took us to some hidden gems that we would have never found on our own. We got to taste some authentic Turkish food and learn about the history and culture behind each dish. On the second day, we spent our time exploring the Grand Bazaar and the surrounding areas. Derya was very organized and professional, and she managed our family with ease despite our constant request and last minute changes. She was very patient and understanding, and we felt like we were in good hands throughout the trip.

Derya is such a unique soul. Istanbul and the food were delicious, but she was one of the best parts of the tour. She was so friendly and had excellent knowledge. She took us to places we hadn’t seen in the guidebooks-fantastic value for money. We learned a lot and saw so much of Istanbul in just six hours, and it was perfect for our ten-year-old son as well. We already have, and will continue to, recommend her and her company to anyone we know visiting Istanbul.

We had a fantastic food tasting tour with Derya. Her knowledge was extensive, she was super friendly and fun to be around with. We learned so much about the local life of Istanbul and best food spots in Istanbul which was exactly what we needed and seeking for. We can not recommend Derya and her company enough. If you are lucky, you’ll get Derya.
