This was a great tour! Erol was a wonderful guide who took us to several small restaurants where locals eat and there aren’t many tourists. Food was all very good. All the stops are on the Asian side of Istanbul. You meet the guide on the European side but all restaurants are on the Asian side. We really enjoyed our time and our guide was great! Definitely recommend.

Our guide was so lovely! It felt like we just walking around the city with an old friend. We tasted so many different things and learned a lot about Turkish culture! They were also able to accommodate me being a vegan :)

Our guide Elif was incredibly personable and knowledgeable. Everything was great from place to place learning about the cuisine and trying so many different delicacies. We enjoyed spice market, sampling Turkish delight and the ferry ride to the Asia side and seeing the difference. The honey with yogurt and tasting the differences in honey will be a memory I hold for years. Thank you!!!!!!!!
