A quiet day in Istanbul

Ouzo was a great guide. He brought us to some areas less crowded. Explained the Tram to us which we used several more times while in the city. We had had a wonderful day with our new friend. Thank you Oz.

Wonderful experience

My friends and I had an amazing, customized food tour of Beyoglu with Faruk. I wasn't sure how it could all be fit into the allocated time, but he made it happen. We hadn't been to Beyoglu before and the tour gave us a really good introduction to the area. Faruk is really pleasant and we really enjoyed the time with him. Highly recommended!

Just book it.

Having done a similar walking food tour with another company in Istanbul years ago, I wanted to share a similar experience with family visiting Turkey for the first time. This tour did not disappoint. Tolga was absolutely wonderful and this tour is a perfect way to sight-see, get some history and taste some wonderful street food. It was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip.
