Erol was first class. We loved this tour that taught us so much about the city as well as its food. The food we tried was delicious. A great way to visit Istanbul and gain an insight into its culture
Tolga was amazing! We had so much fun, learned a lot and of course ate even more. Would highly recommend this tour. It’s a great way to see part of the city and learn about the culture; plus you end up finding all the good spots to go back to!
This is wonderful to hear! We are so glad you had such a fun and memorable experience with Tolga. It sounds like you not only enjoyed the delicious food, but also really connected with the culture and the city itself, which is exactly our goal. Tolga is an exceptional guide, and we'll be sure to pass along your fantastic feedback to him. Thank you for recommending our tour! We hope the spots you found lead to many more great memories.

Erol was our tour guide on this Istanbul food tour and he was excellent. The tour was just the right blend of stops, size of portions and information. It started in a cafe with a Turkish breakfast menemen and sujuk and tea, we then moved to try tantuni. Then on for some Turkish coffee, then to a shop to try manti and gozeleme. We then had mackerel wraps, mussels, cig kofte at various stalls. Finally a tulumba. Each stop we heard the history of the food, how Turkish people eat now and Erol was absolutely lovely. I thoroughly recommend for families.

Erol will be so happy to know his knowledge and warm personality made your experience memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation for families and hope to welcome you again for more delicious discoveries in Istanbul!
