What an amazing opportunity we had spending the day with Burak touring Istanbul and tasting some delicious new food and drink! We chose this food tour with the desire to dive deep into the culture and to be able to experience Istanbul through the eyes of a local, and Burak exceeded our expectations! We were expertly guided through the city using public transportation and then the ferry and then walking from place to place as we sampled some of the best food and drink! Burak is so knowledgeable about the history of this ancient city and he knew the best places to get the best food. The pizza was my favorite! The Turkish coffee was very good too. Burak speaks very good English and was so engaging and kind and truly made this the best day! We did a lot of walking but it was not overwhelming at all. We ended the tour with some cold, Turkish beer and great conversation. Burak was so warm and welcoming and he made us feel like family that day. We are eager to revisit Istanbul to explore some more and to see our new friend Burak.

My guide Kerim was fantastic! He knew real Istanbul food, culture and history. We ended up with a couple extra hours just walking around, simply because there was so much more to see, and taste, and experience! Not your usual touristy gig. Highly recommended!!

Gamze’s energy and knowledge will hold a special place in my heart and mind (and tummy). I learnt so much about the food and culture across Istanbul. Loved how Gamze adapted the day to suit me and my tastes and interests. 10/10.

Do not eat anything before this tour! There is so much food, you'll want room to enjoy it all! Ugur was an excellent tour guide who shared the vast history and culture of Istanbul along with its culinary treasures. We only had one day in this interesting city, and he helped us feel like we spent our time well. Be brave and try everything, even the unfamiliar. Our time in the spice market allowed us to bring some treats back with us. Thank you for giving us an unforgettable day in your city!

Emre was our guide. Very enthusiastic and passionate about his city. Flexible and adapted the tour to us and what we had already done in Istanbul. Took us to some fabulous eateries, and gave us the opportunity to try some more unusual food offerings. Thank you!

Gamze our tour guide is the perfect companion for this experience. A foodie herself, she brought us to the tastiest food restaurants around Istanbul.

We had so much food we almost couldn't walk back going home.

Gamze was very knowlegdeable not only about the food but everything about Istanbul as well. She's always smiling & has a wonderful personality.

If you would like to experience the gastronomic delights of Istanbul book this tour & make sure you specify Gamze

Kemal exceeded our expectations and deserves special thanks. He immediately put us at ease with his friendly, welcoming personality.

He provided a wealth of information on local customs and traditions associated with the food we enjoyed from why Turkish tea is served in a tulip-shaped glass to the history behind a famous baklava bakery. This was a private tour and we enjoyed soup, excellent bread & kebabs, Turkish pizza and more, served in small cafes and shops frequented by locals.

A great storyteller, Kemal never hesitated to patiently answer our questions with a smile and an occasional brief history lesson. And we were particularly impressed with his genuine pride in his country.

Bottom line, Kemal's knowledge of the history of Turkish food and related historical events made this a tour to remember.

Gamze was a fantastic guide. She showed us around a number of the foodie sites in Istanbul. Gamze has so much knowledge about the city’s history and she is very passionate, not just about food but about Turkey overall. In terms of food we tried so many things - sesame bagel, profiteroles, Turkish coffee, tea, salads, stuffed mussels, Turkish delight of many varieties and so so much more. We couldn’t recommend this experience enough.
