Exemplary food & history tour of Istanbul's Bazaar
Esin was our guide. She was amazing! From the beginning, she guided us on a very thorough tour of the Bazaar and backstreets of Istanbul. We got to try so many different foods and drinks of the locals. Meanwhile we learned a lot about the history of Istanbul & Turkey. She took us places we never would have seen, while getting a thorough tour of the bazaar. The cost was worth every penny! A 4.5 hr tour turned into 6hrs! We had a small group of 5 people, which was perfect. We would highly recommend Esin and her tour!!

Great Culinary Tour of the Bazaar Quarter
Uğur was the most amazing guide. He led us through the true backstreets of the Grand Bazzar. We visited so many places we would never have found ourselves. And the food was terrific! We tried wonderful local dishes that truly made our visit to Istanbul special. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

Absolutely impeccable
I’ve done food tours in different cities in Europe and Asia since 2017. This was by far the best. It’s evident that the company invests time and effort and developing a unique itinerary that thoughtfully conveys the culture in the food. They also seem to cultivate very experienced guides. I would not hesitate to book with them again and will actively seek a tour with them if I am ever in a city that they offer a tour.
I will also aim to book the tour at the beginning of my stay in that town because the wisdom and local knowledge accessible through such a tour is really handy to have it at the beginning of your stay rather than at the end.

Excellent overview of Turkish food
Truly excellent tour! Ugur, our guide was one of the best I’ve had and he brought not only the food but also the architecture, history and culture of the bazaar and the various vendors and craftsmen we met along the way. He also gave great recommendations to guide the rest of our time in the city which was most appreciated. I will remember eating the kokoreci for a long time. Highly recommend this tour to all.
