Wir haben eine dreistündige Tour mit Emre durch Istanbul gemacht und waren absolut begeistert! Emre war super freundlich, aufmerksam und hatte auf jede unserer Fragen eine fundierte Antwort. Schon im Vorfeld hat er uns tolle Restauranttipps gegeben – für wirklich jeden Geschmack war etwas dabei. Dank seiner Empfehlungen haben wir in hervorragenden, authentischen Lokalen gegessen und wurden nie enttäuscht. Die Zeit mit ihm verging wie im Flug – es war eine sehr kurzweilige, interessante und angenehme Tour. Emre ist ein kluger, belesener Mann mit einem großen Wissen über Geschichte, Kultur und das Leben in Istanbul. Vielen Dank für diese schöne Erfahrung, Emre – und entschuldige bitte die verspätete Bewertung! Herzliche Grüße von Tanja und Ludwig Eine Istanbul-Tour, die super war

Emre ist der BESTE Guide! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Er hat uns einen unvergesslichen kulinarischen und kulturellen Nachmittag ermöglicht. Durch seine liebenswerte freundliche Art war sofort eine gute Verbindung geschaffen. Emre ist ein wirklich perfekter Guide der sich in allen Ecken von Istanbul gut auskennt. Wir hatten gutes traditionelles Essen,lernten die Gastfreundschaft von der Türkei und viele nette Menschen kennen. Danke für diese tollen Eindrücke! ❤️❤️❤️Ein perfekter Nachmittag

The food tour with Emre was everything we had wanted it to be! He is very warm and friendly and knows Istanbul so well. He curated a really good food tour for my teenage son and me. I felt like we had an intimate look at restaurants that are away from all of the tourists and really experienced the food of Istanbul. He also showed us several shops where we could buy mementos, again these were away from the inflated prices in the Sultanahmet area, and gave us several excellent options for eating in the Galata Tower neighborhood. I would certainly use Emre again if we are ever fortunate enough to return to Istanbul!Great day with Emre!

Emre gave us an absolutely amazing tour. He told wonderful stories about Istanbul, taught us about the culture, and was incredibly knowledgeable about the food. The tastings were fabulous. He was also very kind to our young kids and knew how to keep them engaged. Come HUNGRY! We skipped breakfast and met him at 11AM and spent most of the day walking around the city and eating. I would also recommend Emre as a general guide for anything Istanbul. Hire This Guide Immediately.

My wife Patricia and I booked a food tour with Emre during our visit to Istanbul commemorating the 30 anniversary of our marriage. Emre came highly recommended and he did not disappoint! He started with some simple bite sized samples of cheese and tea, explaining the cheese manufacturing industry in Turkey and how cheese is used in cuisine. Then we visited 10 food establishments and tried sweets like Turkish Delight (Lokum), doner kebab, wraps (durum) and lovely sesame encrusted simit bread among other local fare. Emre was so informative and patient answering our questions. His local knowledge of the history of the city and food / culture of Istanbul made the 3 hour tour with Emre really enjoyable. More than that, we made a new friend in Emre! We heartily recommend visiting Istanbul and experiencing her history and culture through a food tour. If you’re planning a visit, there’s nothing like having a knowledgeable and experienced guide to give literally a taste of life and history of Istanbul. Lovely experience of food in Istanbul

Emre was the most pleasant guide and made our experience fabulous. He immediately made us comfortable and our experience couldn’t have been better. The food was wonderful but so was the history and culture. I would recommend to again and again. Tasting Istanbul with a friend.
