Amazing tour full of beautiful experiences… I’d definitely recommend it ! - In the heart of Istanbul's Old City, Ahmet created a great selection of the culinary tastings, seamlessly blending cultural insights with gastronomic delights. Under Ahmet's guidance, we explored hidden gems—old traditional pide bakery, a hidden mosque, and a gallery. Our journey started with the delicate crunch of simit at a local tea garden, which was a very quiet and unexpected place in the busy part of the city. We walked through a local cemetery, where Ahmet shared different stories, connecting us with the cultural mosaic of Istanbul's past, visited Grand Bazar and learned a lot about its history. We tried different tastings along the way from traditional Kebabs to unexpected desserts. The real highlight, however, was the selection of small mezes and Ahmet's expert recommendation of a local wine pairing at the rooftop. Ahmet's refined storytelling and insightful guidance transformed the tour into a insightful exploration, seamlessly blending history, culture, and culinary aspects. Ahmet's Gastronomic walk is a five-star journey, a mix of flavors and cultural gems.

great food and unexpected spots to visit - delicious and interesting tour - a perfect combination between exploring local culture and country's kitchen. i was travelling with my wife and we are a couple in our mid 60s. our guide Elvan adjusted to our wishes as we kindly asked to change few tastings due to our diets. the food was wonderfully chosen. we especially loved the hidden gallery in the old city where we bought a small souvenir made by a local artisan. great tour, thank you.

Fantastic food tour - We loved this tour! We tried a wide range of different things that were all yummy. I am a vegetatian and my husband eats meat so it was great that we were both catered for. Ezel was a wonderful host! She is kind, knowledge and really made the experience great. Just don't forget to wear your walking shoes because you do walk a lot, which is a good thing when you are eating so many things 😉

Tasty food in the best places! - Signing up for this experience took our trip up a notch! BAM! We travel a bit, mostly in Europe, and since we're both vegetarians we have difficulty figuring where to find tasty local foods and treats. This was a great tour to guide us around the city, sample from the food carts, find a quaint sit-down for some Gozleme, and of course a delicious baklava. We always forget how easy it can be when you can have a guide bring us to the best places. This was perfect!

Great Food, Great Tour! - I took this tour with Ahmet. He showed me around the market and explained to me about the food. We ended up going to this place where they served hunkar begendi, a delicious dish based on eggplant and mince meat. Make sure you tell Ahmet to take you to get one! I ate it so fast that forgot to take a picture so to compensate, here is a small sample of the colors of the market when I was on my way to the restaurant.

Don't look for other tours - The tour was beyond expectations. I was trying before other tours in Istanbul and while other were ok, day with pearls was way much more fun, insightful and with access to better quality food

perfect 🤩 - Everything was perfect! I’ll definately take another walking wine and food tasting tour with Goda and her experienced and beautiful team. Till next time 🥂

A food tour to get to know Instabul - I loved this food tour! Not only the tastings were great but we got to see so many hidden historical and cultural places. my favourite one was a tiny gallery in the tower! our guide Ezel was super nice and knowledgable both about food, city and the history. Such a great time! i recommend

enjoyed every bite! - I am so happy we chose this tour - I think without it we would end up eating in tourist-busy places but here we got to visit authentic and absolutely fabulous food places where locals eat! Loved the guide Ahmet and enjoyed every bite!

A delicious day around Istanbul - For a foodie like me this tour was perfect. I especially loved the pace, taking our time to enjoy each dish and spot we visited. My favourite part which I think adds the cherry on top was the rooftop view. The wine selection is professionally done and I was quite pleasantly surprised by the quality of Turkish wine and the rich history behind it.
