Great experience with local food guide - Taking a food tour focused on Turkish cuisine was an excellent experience and a great way to understand the country’s rich culinary culture. We visited several local eateries and street food spots, each offering something different—from savory kebabs and fresh mezes to traditional breads, desserts, and local drinks. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were well balanced, and everything was prepared with care. Our guide explained the history behind each dish and how it reflects regional traditions, which added real depth to the experience. Many of the places we visited are spots we would not have found on our own. Overall, the tour was well organized, informative, and highly enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an authentic introduction to Turkish cuisine.

Istanbul gastronomic tour - We had a fantastic experience on the Old Town food tour. From the very beginning, our guide was friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable about local history and gastronomy. We walk through charming streets, visiting markets, small shops and traditional restaurants where we taste an incredible variety of authentic dishes. Each stop was a delicious surprise: from typical snacks to local sweets, all prepared with unique and fresh flavors. In addition, we learned curiosities and culinary traditions that made the tour even more special. I recommend this tour 100%.

Exellent tour to the hidden places - The food was delicious, and it was nice to walk around in these more local-oriented neighborhoods. the tour leaves you with a lot more knowledge about where and what to eat in Istanbul. Very delicious and informative food tour. Our guide was friendly and helpful. We had a great time sampling some of the best foods of Istanbul. There was plenty to eat and so many great options. well informed and shared a lot of great background and stories with us. We loved our experience. a highlight of our trip to the hidden places that we wouldn’t find by ourself in Istanbul. We enjoyed all what we had! including foods, dessert, soft drinks, tea & coffee in the madrasa where local people are having hooqah. Highly recommend.

Great food tour of hidden gems - Had lovely local foods, a well planned food tour with a great amount of food. We decided to start our adventure in İstanbul with a food tour on the first day arriving. We visited local shops and tasted food one by one, visited a food market that called women's baazar which mostly food products is beeing served in. Finising our tour at madrasa where peolpe are smoking sisha and drink tea or Coffee was great. Higly recommended.

Fabulous food tour - food tours are always the best ways to see a city and this one was no exception. Spent more or less 5 hours on tour, eating delicious food and wonderful restaurants we just wouldn’t have found on our own. When it's hard to know where to go and what to eat, these tours unlock a city and make you brave to venture out on your own. Visiting different places was a great way to explore local culinary. Muhammed our guide was so generous and a great way to spend an good evening dinner tour with. Visiting food market next to Valen’s aquaduct was fabulous , Lots of fun stops and a variety of foods and drinks to try in a very lively neighborhood.

Wonderful food tour - Wonderful food Tour. I have had the good fortune of travel but never took a foodie tour before. I loved this food tour which was to the local hidden places. What a wonderful experience! Emir showed us Istanbul one dish at a time. so he was not only helped us experience the culinary jewels of this beautiful city, he shared the social history of the neighborhoods we were visiting. Emir’s knowledge and bright personality made the entire experience incredibly fun! He made a foreign city feel welcoming and introduced us to the favorite sights and customs of the local residents. It’s a daunting task trying to pick a tour guide. You’re committing to spend your vacation time with a stranger! Emir erases that apprehension instantly and will give you a delightful experience in Istanbul that will forever be a favorite part of your vacation. Highly recommended!!
