The food was good. We...
The food was good. We were full after the 3rd stop and couldn’t eat much more. Some of the places felt very touristy though.
Our tour was awkward because it was just my partner and I. The tour guide didn’t really tell us anything about the area or the food. She didn’t know the neighborhoods well.
Operator response
We appreciate your comments regarding the guiding and the level of information shared during the tour. Providing context about the food and the area is an important part of the experience, and we will address this with our team to improve it moving forward.
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food and that the portions were generous. Our tours are small-group experiences, so the number of guests can vary depending on bookings — sometimes it’s just two people, while other times the group is larger. We also carefully select spots that are popular with locals rather than tourist-focused restaurants.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Guide didn’t turn up
The 4 of us waited at both times listed on the booking at 12:00 and 13:00 (very confusing) under Ataturk Statue whilst trying to call phone number provided for Footprint Tours. Could not contact anyone until too late and we were too hungry. We were offered a 3pm tour but too late as we had planned impeccably. Still waiting for refund. I suggest just downloading walking tour of street art from facebook into google maps and find good recommended restaurant.
Operator response
We’re truly sorry for the confusion and the disappointment it caused. There was a miscommunication on our side between the guides, and unfortunately, it led to you waiting at different times. That’s on us, and we take full responsibility.
We understand how frustrating it was, especially since you had your day planned out. While we did try to offer you a later tour, we realize this didn’t work with your schedule, and we have already processed your refund.
Thank you for sharing your feedback — it helps us improve our coordination so this doesn’t happen again. We’d love the chance to welcome you properly on a future tour and give you the experience you missed out on this time.
Warm regards,
The Foodprint Tours Team

Great way to see and taste the Asian side of Istanbul
Highly recommend this walking tour on the Asian side. We decided to save some money and make our own way over to Kadikoy using the Metro which was both easy and cheap.
We were so lucky to have Madina as our guide - a highly intelligent and charming young lady from Uzbekistan. She took us to several food restaurants to try different things that we probably would never have tried during our short visit to Istanbul. She told us all about the Asian side of Istanbul and about her own country.
We ate a lot and we talked a lot which was great - she felt like a friend by the end of the tour and even took us to the ferry to get home.
A great value tour with a super friendly host.

Fabulous food and a great experience
Madina was a great guide who showed us around the area with some amazing plentiful food. It was a great way to explore the Asian side. Madina went out of her way to help us get the right boat back which was so helpful. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour of Kadikoy
Asle gave us tips on using transit to meet her in Kadikoy and she was a charming and informative guide throughout. The tour was an excellent way to experience the Asian side of Istanbul. Asle also shared so much of her culture and life with us. She is a real treasure and we enjoyed spending time with her so much

Highly recommended experience
Our guide was Madina, and it was a great experience. If it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t have tried many of the dishes that were unknown to us, because of the barrier of culture and language. Besides, she was super nice and explained many more things. Thanks for everything

Tour with Sonay
It was a really nice tour. The local guide is very kind and explain a lot of things about Turkish typical food. Also, you eat real Turkish food which is not made only for tourist.
