Ayfer led our mixed group with various food no-go items on a delightful, informative food tour of Istanbul. She was good humoured, knowledgeable, and entertaining. She adapted her program successfully to our delight. We loved talking with her, and enjoyed sharing our reactions and stories with her. Ayfer went beyond our expectations. We were saddened to reach the end of our time with her.
