Fantastic tour!

Dilek is an amazing guide. She took us to several amazing spots on the Asian side of Istanbul. Dilek accommodated our special requests and also took us to spots to find some unusual foods. We made some spur of the moment stops which she was totally fine with. I can’t recommend Dilek enough. Tasting our way through her neighborhood is exactly the kind of authentic experience we hoped to have.

Kemal and Istanbul - a good match

We had the pleasure of experiencing the 10 tastings tour with Kemal. He was very flexible in the meeting place, which made the tour start on a very good note. We traveled on the subway (2nd oldest I understand in the world) and enjoyed several stops, including coffee of course and quince dessert and wonderful wine stop. He gave excellent advice on shopping along the way itself and made us feel safe the entire tour through the busy streets. Would recommend indeed for future tours...

Fantastic experience

Our food tour on the Asian side of Istanbul (Kadikoy) with Emre was fantastic! Emre is a very kind and sympathetic guide who likes to blend with the group (he remembered al our 9 names after 1 introduction!) and understands how to create a mixture of a great food experience but also some local and historical perspectives with the perfect dose of humor. He had an answer to basically every question we had and his English language is like a native speaker. Upfront I was most nervous about the 4-hour duration of the tour would be too much, but we all enjoyed every minute of it!
