A great. Evening! - We had an amazing evening with Bahri who took us to 6 different places that we never would have gone to on our own. Each had tremendous atmosphere and the food was all different and VERY good. He gave us lots of history and great conversation. An evening well worth it!

Excellent street food tour - Great tour with nicely planned stops and excellent tasting street food. Bahri our guide was well versed in the area restaurants and chose great vendors. Our teenage kids loved the food and we were very full but the end of the tour. I highly recommend

Glad we booked this tour! - Don’t eat ahead. Offered portions are generous! Fun way to see the city and meet a local guide with shared interest. We were happy we didn’t chose a longer tour as would not have been able to eat everything offered

Best way to experience modern Istanbul! - This food tour was a great way to experience the “New District.” We were there on a Saturday night, and the streets are filled with such energy! Our tour guide, Sinan, was just fantastic! He certainly knew the ins and outs and took us to seven wonderful places to experience the best of the best! Our favorite was the mussels filled with a tasty rice! We couldn’t get enough! Another standout was a place that Anthony Bourdain recommended. We learned so much and really enjoyed this tour. Worth every penny!
