Outstanding experience - Emre was an incredible guide. He was very friendly, energetic, engaging and informative. He went above and beyond to provide us with a great experience, as well as providing us with many recommendations and tips for the rest of our time in Istanbul and the rest of Turkey. We are so grateful for Emre’s generosity and insight!

Must food guide in Istanbul - This is our second time in Istanbul and we were so happy we decided to get a food tour. Emre was the perfect guide! He has so much knowledge about Istanbul. He took us to over 10 different spots that he and his wife personally favorite. We definitely recommend him.

Best time in Istanbul - Had an absolutely fantastic time with Emre, he took us to the best possible gems we otherwise would never be able to discover. Amazing food experiences with great variety, unique insights into the rich culture & history of the city, the cuisine and Turkey. Had great personal talks and a very friendly atmosphere which my wife and I enjoyed very much. We hope to come back soon and will 100% recommend to everyone visiting Istanbul. Thank you again, Emre!

Lots of local food, go with the flow tour, best with a local. - Lorena was prompt to answer any question beforehand, gave detailed instructions, was on time, and was very flexible with the tour. We ended up catching a ferry to he Asian side after finding out that this is where we really wanted to go! She changed her plan and we all went wih the flow. Food was great, different and the vendors were fun and intereactive. We had lots of fun, ate heaps and saw another side of the water. Thanks so much Lorena. We would recommend her to you all. Cheers. Mandy and Cherie, Aussies on tour.

A great tour - A great tour with Ugur and we found his communication to be excellent. It was great to be able to try new things and we even went back to a couple of places post tour for seconds. Whilst expensive for me in Australian dollars, I would recommend this tour.

Great culinary and cultural experience - One of the first things we did in our visit to Istanbul was the food tour with Ahmet. It was a great introduction to both the food and the city. We tried a large number of different dishes and while we walked around Ahmet also talked to us about the culture, history and architecture of the city which was a great added bonus. It was also nice that the cost of all the food was included in the upfront price we paid. The other advantage of a food tour with a local is that he gave us lots of tips of other things to see and do in Istanbul during our stay.
