Wonderful food experience - Emre was a wonderful guide. Lots of useful information about the great food we ate. Plenty of food so you definitely won’t go hungry. What a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the Turkish food culture

Fantastic food tour of Kadikoy - We did the private Withlocals 10 Tastes of Kadikoy with Ays & it couldn’t have been better. Ferry to Kadikoy from Galata area no issues & Kadikoy seemed very different to where else we had been in Istanbul. The food was amazing & we had the best mezze we’d ever had. Ays was great & we would highly recommend this tour.

Great day in Kadikoy - Great time exploring Kadikoy with Ibra! He was super knowledgeable about the food send the neighborhood. It’s a ton of food so definitely come hungry. He also took us around some cool hipster-y shops and helped point us to the beach! Great experience overall

Worthy of a Sixth Star - The tastings were wonderful, but our guide, Emre Oguducu, made the entire experience even more enjoyable! His knowledge of local cuisine was bested only by his willingness to accommodate our special requests (like where to purchase some good wine at the conclusion of our tour)! We have taken food tours in many locations around the globe, and this clearly ranks among the best. And we would gladly award it a Sixth Star if one were available.

Tour and Amhet were wonderful - We loved this tour and Ahmet was amazing. He was very accommodating and met us at a different spot when we didn’t arrive where we were supposed to. All of the stops were wonderful and he went out of the way to make sure we enjoyed the tour and gave us some ideas for where to go afterward, before heading back to our cruise ship. Highly recommend this!

Superb - We had the most wonderful day with Dilek. It started a couple of days before as she responded to our query about the meeting point by providing us with a much easier alternative. She also helped with our questions in the days & hours before we met, always prompt, helpful & informative. When we met, she was a delightful host & showed us some wonderful parts of Istanbul we’d have never found on our own. She also taught us about the various transport systems, which we can now navigate as if we were locals! Then to the food! What can we say? Dilek made so many suggestions , showed us so many Turkish dishes & delicacies and encouraged us to try platters outside our UK palates. We sampled everything & came away with broadened minds & waistbands! We couldn’t recommend this tour - or Dilek as our host - any more highly. Thank you so much

Wonderful tour with Faruk - My husband and I spent three hours with Faruk, eating our way around Kadikoy, and it was time and money well spent! Faruk was kind and generous and wonderful to spend time with, and everything we ate was incredibly delicious. It was really nice having the private tour experience, as we were able to ask lots of questions during our time together. Highly recommend!

Super great tour - Emre guided us through Kadikoy in a professional yet personalized manner. He was full of knowledge and very informative, and helped make our trip richer and more enjoyable. Withlocals tours are great because you have a dedicated private guide who is often full of knowledge. Emre is like that... he knows a lot about Turkish cuisine, of course, but he is happy to discuss history and current events as well. We peppered him with questions throughout our time with him, and the time flew by. He gave us thoughtful tips and recommendations (how-to, where-to, and what-to do sorts of things) that we used throughout our visit to enrich our experience. It was a great way to begin a journey, and we left him with a better concept of local food and of Kadikoy and Istanbul as well. The food stops we made were absolutely delicious and we were fully satisfied. We love to eat well, and, with Emre, can guarantee that you will eat well. He helps make a varied and culturally diverse cuisine more accessible to visitors, and we wholeheartedly recommend him as a guide.

Overpriced - Mohammad was a great guide ,kind and knowledgeable went extra and beyond. The reason for my 3 stars was because the tour was supposed to get us to see the opera house and the theatre also I was overcharged than what was advertised. Felt that I have been scammed by your app

Good food, but info lacked. - We really enjoyed the different food items we were given and our guide really tried hard to give us allot of variety and even extras! Only thing was our guide wasn’t a foodie. So she didn’t have a passion for food and very little knowledge about the food itself or history of the food culture in Istanbul. Seems like our tour was outsourced to another tour company which explains the above situation. But if we had wanted to go with this other company we would have booked with them.
