Le goût de la Turquie sur deux continents : d'Istanbul européenne à Kadikoy asiatique

We had a wonderful experience on this food tour with Tolga. He was an exceptional guide and made the afternoon feel like much more than just a food tour. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, and we got to experience a great variety of Turkish food while exploring both the European and Asian sides of Istanbul. What made the experience especially memorable was everything Tolga shared along the way. He taught us about Turkish culture, history and everyday life, giving us much more context for what we were seeing and tasting. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging and easy to spend the afternoon with. A fantastic way to experience Istanbul through its food, culture and history. Highly recommend Tolga!

We had an amazing tour with Tolga! He knew where to get all the best local food we wouldn’t have known where to go otherwise. It was really fun to go on our first day in the city as well, because we learned about the city and got tips we could use the rest of our trip. Thanks again!

This food tour is a must see experience in Istanbul. It offers a unique and fun way to understand the food, neighborhoods and culture. Our guide Tolga, was experienced and kind giving us a ton of information. We started at the spice bizarre and the headed to Asian side for a ton of stops and more food than we could eat. Come hungry!

From the moment we met, Erol was engaging and kind. He brought us a delicious, fresh-baked walnut simit that was nothing like those sold by street vendors. He speaks perfect and eloquent English as he shares the history and stories of the area. This tour has it all. A calming and scenic ferry ride with live music, more delicacies than you can imagine and a lovely walk through the beautiful Asian side of Istanbul. If you want to escape the crowds if tourists and enjoy wonderful Turkish food , Erol is a fantastic guide. We recommend him 100%.

This was such a memerable tour all thanks to Gamze! My husband and I were the only ones on this tour and she personalized it for us. We were able to try food we would normally never have. The choices were perfect and the hospitality of Gamze was even better!

Erol, our guide, was excellent, he is Turkish with excellent English. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the food and local customs, as well as wider Turkish history and culture. If you are looking for a Baklava and Beer tour this isn't for you. Erol introduced us to a variety of new food and flavours teaching us along the way. The trip across the Bosphorus and walk around the market stalls and bustling streets of Karakoy was great and not at all tiring. The amount of food and drink is perfect for this type of tasting tour. I would highly recommend this tour and especially Erol.

Excellent fun; our guide Gumze was brilliant, friendly, insightful and knowledgeable. Note that you don't eat until you reach the Asian side but once you do eat, food and drinks are plentiful, varied and seconds were always on offer. Our group size was only 6 and Gumze explained a lot more about Istanbul and Turkey than just it's food. Would highly recommend.

Our tour guide, Erol was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about Istanbul’s history and food. Everything on the tasting was delicious.

Our guide, Erol, lead us on a tour that exposed us to a variety of flavours of Turkey. He also was quite knowledgeable in the history of the area.

We were guided by Errol who was fabulous and very accommodating of our toddler. We would never have the confidence to go to the Asian side of Istanbul ourselves, and having a food focus felt like the best was to experience this part of the city. The local restaurants are simply miles better than the European side and Errol guided us through dishes we would have never tried ourselves. I would 100% recommend this tour.
