Emre was amazing! This was more than just a food tour - he shared lots of historical information and fun facts about the areas we were exploring in between restaurants so it was almost like a food tour mixed with a walking city tour. Exceeded all expectations, and if I had one tip for people doing this, it's COME HUNGRY!
We had such a great time with Tolga on this tour!! He was very, very knowledgeable as well as personable and happy!! We laughed a lot as we discovered not only food, but the rich history of Turkey and Istanbul. We would highly recommend him to anyone!
This was an absolutely delightful experience. Tolga is a charismatic and unbelievably knowledgeable guide who took us to so many places and the each was wonderful. Tolga also knows the history of Istanbul and turkey and shared many facts with us. He also taught us how to read “coffee grounds” after we finished our Turkish coffee.
Guide great problem with transportation not sure on u. Car arrived one hour late but guide called u move up time one hour. Got stuck with car bill
We had a lovely evening with Emre and so enjoyed learning about and tasting the foods of Istanbul. Emre was an excellent guide sharing not only the interesting food, but some of the history and cultural nuances of the area. We had the best time. Would definitely recommend a food tour with Emre. You will meet as strangers and part as friends.
Emre was extremely friendly and a great guide. We had particular things we could not eat and he adjusted the tour accordingly. A very accommodating guide with lots of knowledge and gave plenty of suggestions for things to do and see in Istanbul.
What a wonderful afternoon we had with Sozum. We tried so many Turkish foods and enjoyed the conversation in a relaxed, well paced afternoon. Would definitely recommend this tour as a way to taste a little of Turkiye.
Our experience was wonderful! Our guide was helpful, friendly and well informed! We would absolutely recommend this tour.
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
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
