My wife and I wrapped up our food tour with Kaan and Bery. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone traveling to Istanbul. Kaan and Bery were fantastic people to be with and took my wife and I to amazing places to eat and try. We would urge you to check out their other tours!

Culinary tour with excellent experience
What an insightful and colourful tour of Turkey’s culinary scene in Istanbul. Berry and Kaan met us right at our hotel and guided us through the northern old town as well as the Asian side of Istanbul. They not only explained the ingredients of the dishes, but also gave us a historical insight into their origins.
Thank you very much for this sch

Excellent experience!!!!
“We traveled from Miami and hired their services in Spanish. Excellent service from the first contact, always quick and willing to help. The airport pickup was punctual and just as we agreed. Our guide Umit was exceptional: very prepared, kind, and attentive. We finished with a beautiful boat ride. A serious, responsible, and 100% recommendable company. Thank you for making our visit to Istanbul an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back!”

great guides
The pacing was perfect—never rushed, never slow—and each tasting felt thoughtfully chosen. I especially appreciated how the guide connected each dish to local traditions and neighborhood history, making the experience feel personal and immersive.

Wonderful Tour in Istanbul
We had a three night stopover in Istanbul and just completed a food tour as well as a two day tour of the wonderful city. Kaan was very professional through the process. From the time we reached out he listened to our desires and put together a package that was exactly what we were looking for.
He even was our guide during the food tour. He made sure we tried many traditional local dishes and provided a historical perspective behind the food and many of the restaurants we visited. Highly recommend the food tour and come hungry!
On day two and three our guide was Zeynel. Another true professional that takes pride in his job and knows Istanbul history quite well. He is very down to earth and easy to converse with. He is quite flexible and able to make adjustments as necessary to accommodate his clients. He was a joy to work with.
We are extremely happy with Reminder Tour Istanbul and would book through them again if we were ever in Turkey in the future. They even set up an airport transfer that takes all the stress out of arriving in a new country for the first time. If you are thinking of book through them just do it!

Insightful Knowledge and Honesty
They were honest and efficient with every interactions with me from beginning to end. Their tour guide, Zeynel was insightful and had touches of humor during our 2 day private tour of historical sites and a delicious food tour. He was even kind enough to help me with guidance and recommendations after our tour ended. Don't waste your time with others, Reminder will give you the best quality with the best prices in Istanbul.

AMAZING...
It was amazing the service they gave us, they didn’t neglect a single detail and even as they went along they fulfilled every request I made. Come to Turkey is wonderful, the war is not affecting her, the people are friendly and attentive. Language is not a barrier almost everyone speaks English and many Spanish. Don’t believe YouTubers, I came with my mother who is older, and even though we were two women alone NO ONE scammed us, or harassed us....people were super respectful and gentle especially with my mother.....I LOVED TURKEY.....THANK YOU TOTALLY TO REMINDER AND HIS TEAM (Umit, Sofia, Talha,etc,etc,etc)

Food + people + Istanbul = Spectacular Day
We had a group of friends go with Kaan and Bery on an adventure that featured many foods and both sides of the Bosphorus! They met us at the hotel and we started with soup for breakfast, getting a history lesson of the neighborhood and an understanding of the varieties and importance of soup to the locals. Fresh simit (with cheese baked in) was next with tea and the morning continues with culture, food, and history intertwined as we walked the streets. We hopped the ferry to head to the eastern side of Istanbul, getting additional views and stories from our guides. The food on the Asian continent continued to excite, as we tried tripe (yes, it’s worth trying), flatbreads, and interacted with the locals. We ended the day back on the western side of the city and an amazing dish made of only beans and then desert.
It was an amazing tour and one that gave a real sense of the people, the food, and the history of Istanbul.
