Completely , totally happy with our tour. Would recommend Fayza to all. - Our guide Feyza was absolutely wonderful. Charming, knowledgeable, professional, responsive, all packaged with a smile and sense of humor. Would completely recommend her as a guide regardless of your specific interests - she was totally well versed on any topic or aspect of Istanbul. Happy to five her a five + star rating.

Try it, you'll like it. - I am not normally an adventurous eater, but decided to go out of my comfort zone and try this culinary tour. Very happy I did. Ugur Kilerci was knowledgeable, personable, and fun. He explained the history and preparation of the food. I sampled a wide variety of items from main courses, snacks, sides dishes, pickled vegetables, honey, desserts, and tea & coffee. Delicious. It was a thoroughly enjoyable tour.

Friendly and expert food tour - Knowledgable, friendly and patient. Volcan gave us a great food tour around the karakoy and kodakoy areas. Particular favourites included the fish wrap and baklava as well as the beans and beef. If you can avoid eating all day before it you will benefit!!

Eating and Shopping in Istanbul - This was a wonderful experience with Vulcan. He was able to customize our experience with some specific shopping with some unique food experiences. We had some delicious Turkish food that we would not have tried otherwise. We were amazed at all the shopping!!!!

Great tasting tour with a side of education - Pinar was just the sort of guide you hope for on a tour -- friendly, flexible and knowledgeable about cuisine and Istanbul. We learned so much about the city's foods, eateries and sights, and we appreciated her suggestions for other places to visit based on our interests. We all enjoyed her explanations of the origins of different culinary practices, and her ability to answer questions cheerfully and clearly. The Asian side of the city --seemingly all eateries in some neighborhoods! -- added a nice dimension to our time in the city. The range of places Pinar took us, from small corner eateries to walk-in bakeries to sit-down centuries-old establishments, was also part of the color and fun of this trip. Great food and great company!

Half a day full of yummy food and great guidance - Our guide, Zeynel, showed us the amazing Asian side of Istanbul. He took us to some really cool food and snack spots where we tried some delicious Turkish treats. Zeynel was super flexible with our schedule, especially since we had our 11-month-old baby. He was really helpful and made sure we had a great time. If you’re ever in Istanbul, definitely ask him to be your guide!
