One of the best walking/eating tours I’ve ever taken. Ozgur was extremely well informed about Turkish food and took us to many places we would not have discovered on our own. The food was great!! The ferry ride was great!! The shopping at the Spice Bazaar was great!

This guided tour not only has a well planned menu of classic Turkish cuisine items at a variety of eateries, but gives a quick oversight of the Istanbul layout. Included is a visit to both European and Asian sides (by Ferry) a stop at the Spice(Egyptian) market and a perhaps a quick trip on the tram. Our guide explained preparation,ingrediants and cultural role all of our tastes. A word of caution, skip any breakfast plans as you will need room for all the great tastes. We did not have any desire for dinner after our tour. Our guide Oscur was exeptional..we would recommend asking for him if possible.

I have has the opportunity to do a lot of food tours around the world and I think this is one of the most exciting and fascinating by far. Our tour guide Ozgur made this tour to be a inigualable experience with his enthusiasm and excellent mood. Friendly with all around and his explanation about everything, made us feels inside the real Istambul culture and taste. Excellent tour.

It was no doubt my best experience abroad! I only had one day free and I love trying local food. It was the best choice, I tried everything you can imagine, eating like a local! Never ate so much in one day! My guide Ozgur was simply amazing, very knowledgeable, not just about the food, but about the history, as he was telling me on our way! I couldn’t recommend enough!

Yasin made our day truly special. He showed us some amazing gems from right under our nose and across Istanbul. My only wish would have been to do the tour for 2 more days because the city is so big and there are so many opportunities to explore.
