It was a great experience to discover some local food in a very nice neighbourhood. They ask to come hungry and you indeed better do ;) Would really recommend this tour!
Thank you so much for your good review :)) We hope to see you in Istanbul again
Our day on the Asian side of Istanbul with Tayfun was fantastic! He met us at Karakoy port and even helped us with the boat transfer, making everything smooth and stress-free. We explored authentic neighborhoods, learned fascinating stories, and tasted amazing local dishes. He even went beyond helping us to translate at a pharmacy. A truly unforgettable and well-organized experience!
