Us (a group of 3) booked a food tour with Asu to get acquainted with local cuisine. All of us are coming from a quiet diverse background and have a basic knowledge on Turkish food and culture.
Asu has a very welcoming personality, which makes it quite easy to communicate. She made sure to introduce us not only to the local cuisine, but also to the Turkish culture of hospitality. Apart from our program she shared other suggestions for visits and new food experiences (including location pins 😁). All of us were extremely full and sated after this tour. Hence, we recommend Asu as a food guide to anyone who’s new, or not-so-new too 😊, to Izmir or Turkish culture in general.
The whole tour was filled with a cozy atmosphere, occasional historical lessons and facts, and obviously a really good food. She did not make us feel as if we are in a hurry or set timeline. My companions even got their fortune readings, which was a first & fun experience.

Fantastic tour of İzmir
Yarkın was an awesome tour guide. I was in Ephesus for a day seeing the history and I decided to see Izmir before catching my flight back to Istanbul. I took a three hour tour with Yarkın and hands down this was the best tour I’ve had in Europe in the last 3 years (for context I’ve been to 10 countries and always take tours in cities). Yarkın included a great mix of culture, history, religion, food, and the contemporary. The tour went long—two hours long! He didn’t charge me and he even helped me get to the airport for my flight. If you want to experience Izmir like a local and see some history with a great tour guide, I highly recommend!
Great experience and awesome dude! Thanks Yarkın!

The BEST Tour
My daughter and I had the best time on our tour with Yarkin. He showed us places we would never have found ourselves. Yarkin went above and beyond our expectations. Taking a tour with Yarkin is a delight and so much fun.

Great!
It was great tour, with more than enough food. Very tasty local food. Asu is very friendly, walked us around nice places, on top of what we have visited with her, she showed us different bars and restaurants that we can visit. Recommending this tour especially for those who would like to feel the spirit of Izmir
