    Great food, great fun. Ugur is very interesting and well-informed. Many foods I had never heard of before.

    Local university student taking us to his favorite spots around the area. Explained the local traditional food along with what students normally eat. Very attentive and encouraged us to try as much as we wanted.

    A wonderful, fun and special day experiences the sights and tastes of Istanbul.
    Ava guided us through local neighbourhoods and introduced us to food and places we would never have gone on our own.
    Forget the tourist restaurants and go where the locals go!

    We had an amazing evening touring Istanbul with Ays and loved trying many traditional food, drinks and desserts. It was lovely to be guided around some of Istanbul’s most beautiful areas and eating quality food rather than aimlessly walking around. We loved that we could book it so easily and Ays had a huge knowledge of food and Instanbul.

    Aisha was not only incredibly knowledgeable about local cuisine, but a joy to dine with! She shared interesting insight about how popular dishes derived and are prepared. We also had the pleasure of stopping in a few local shops and walked away with unique souvenirs of our trip. All in all, the experience was incredible and one I’d do again! MUST do!

  7. PatriciaM_H

    Our guide Emre was wonderful. Not only was the food great he knows the history of all the areas we visited. I’d recommend him to anyone.

    Emre was our knowledgeable and patient guide. The tour was an excellent introduction to Istanbul street food and a great way to enjoy a walk around Taksim square.

  9. Nicole_L

    Excellent variety in food. Such a fun setting and adventure. We ate fried seafood from the kiosk that was very fresh and rooftop kebab, it was very authentic and flavorful. Highly recommend!

  10. Michelle_C

    What an amazing experience! I always believed the best way to experience a city is through their food, and this was a perfect confirmation!

    We enjoyed this a lot. Lorena was a great guide. Due to the May 1 holiday, a lot of stores and restaurants were closed, so Lorena had to improvise and did so nicely. We ate many Turkish foods we otherwise would not have tried. We also saw parts of the city that we might have missed if not for her. We also had to deal with rain, and Lorena kept us dry. She made tinge very best of a difficult situation. We’re so glad we did this tour.

    Booked this tour from Viator in Istanbul. We had to cancel because the supplier changed the start time 3 times. On arrival to the meeting point we noted massive presence of riot police, soldiers, barracked street, bag searches, armored vehicles with many stores closed. We were scared and felt to be in harm’s way. We informed the supplier (Ahmad?) that we felt unsafe and wanted to cancelled. We refused the supplier’s offer to change the venue and time again to a different part of the city because we were in a foreign country and possible paramilitary presence/actions elsewhere as well. The supplier then texted it is our problem and will charge us regardless of our safety concerns. The tour itself may be good, but the supplier of this tour is certainly not and willing to put money over safety.

    Our tour guide was knowledgeable and so easygoing helping to accommodate the entire group individual needs – she was informative, fun and very kind. This was the highlight of all our tours! We had such a great time and learned a lot about local food and customs.

    We had a great time, the tour guide was great at taking us to the local shops and explaining traditions and the food to us. Would 100% recommend doing the food tour especially if you’re traveling here for the first time. We knew what to order on our own after doing the food tour.

    We had an amazing time on this tour!! Faruk our guide was excellent! He showed us a wide variety of food (kebab being the highlight!) but also had gave us history and showed us sights on the way around! Would highly recommend this tour with Faruk

  17. Prabhakar_C

    Very enjoyable and enlightening tour. Ays was great and patiently explained to us the intricacies of the various Turkish foods that we tried out. By the end of the tour we were so full, had a hard time walking back home 🙂 My two teenage daughters absolutely loved trying out the different kinds of food, and walking around the neighborhood spots. Very highly recommended! Thanks again Ays!

    Our guide Lorena was great. In addition to going to good places for street food, we talked about day to day life in Istanbul, and what it was like for her migrating from Brazil.
    I have done food tours in many cities around the world. Two important aspects of these tours that are not mentioned enough are the opportunities to talk about life in these cities and using the places, food and people you meet for travel & street photography.

    Our guide was awesome. He took us to cafes etc that we wouldn’t have found on our own. The local food was delicious. I would recommend this to anyone. Our guide added to our experience and we had lots of laughs along the way

  20. Amaka_N

    My sister and I enjoyed the food tour, Dilek our tour guide was amazing, very patient and took her time to explain the process of making most of the food we tried. I will do this again if I ever go back to Istanbul. This is a must tour if your a foodie and like to try food from other cultures.

    We had a fantastic time with Faruk! He was full of fantastic cultural and historical information about our destinations, and was so kind to answer all of our questions. The food was great and plentiful, we got to try a number of things we wouldn’t have otherwise.
    Overall a fun time and an even better deal. Faruk was the best!!!
