Our private tour with Ceran was amazing! Not only did we get to try a lot of great Turkish food she filled us in with all kinds of interesting information about Istanbul! We throughly enjoyed our afternoon with her and highly recommend this tour for anyone traveling to Istanbul!Enjoyable afternoon

It was the real pleasure to spend these few hours with Ceren. She is very friendly, open person and has a big knowledge about the city. I highly recommend her services to anyone who would like to experience the daily life of Istambul.Ceren

Our afternoon in Kadikoy was exactly what we hoped for. Rather than a “tour”, it was like meeting an old friend for food, drinks, conversation and an afternoon stroll. Ceren was friendly, courteous, professional and very easy to talk to. She gave us plenty of information about Kadikoy but even more than that we were able to enjoy just visiting about all kinds of things over some great food and a cocktail. Highly recommended!Perfect Afternoon in Kadikoy

Great food tour experience with Ceren. She was very informative and friendly. Ceren recommended Kadikoy on the Asian side for our tasting tour and we are glad we followed her advice. Less tourists and more local places with hidden gems that Ceren made us discover. Would highly recommend the tour.

We had a nice meeting with Ceren and a very informative morning in the Asian part of Istanbul. Ceren is very communicative and flexible. In addition to the tour itself, she provided us with numerous tips for the rest of our stay. We can definitely recommend Ceren!A nice morning with Ceren

Ceren was a wonderful friendly guide who accommodated our chaotic arrival, knew great spots and showed us an evening of a true local. Walking through the markets of Kadıköy and having fresh mezze and lahmacun was a very tasty experience. Many of our edible gifts for family came from this tour. We ended up returning to the toured region every night for dinner and she really shaped our experience of Istanbul. We feel we left with a new friend :). A truly local trendy town - great mezze

Jan and I have booked several With Locals experiences, in several different destinations. Our Food Tasting tour with Ceren has been one of our favorite tours for the following reasons: Communication, knowledge, experience, and thoughtfulness. Ceren responded to our booking request, and all of our replies promptly and clearly. Which gave us confidence we were going to be in good hands. She provided us with detailed instructions to our initial meeting location, and provided us with transportation options. Ceren is very knowledge about not only the history of the foods we experienced, but also the neighborhoods, and the people who influenced the food and drinks we experienced. Her description of each item we tried, before we tried them, increased our anticipation to taste the item. Ceren was a delightful companion. Jan and I felt like we were visiting a good personal friend, who was taking us out to some really cool places most tourists don’t know about. We shared wonderful conversations throughout the tour. When the tour concluded, it was like saying good by to a very dear friend we look forward to seeing again, very soon. Ceren The Wonderful
