- Istanbul Walks - Coffee is the national drink of Turkey, steeped in a rich historical tradition. Its journey began in Egypt, with the Ottomans introducing the first coffee beans to Istanbul in 1519. The first coffee shops emerged about 30 years later in the Eminonu district, despite prohibition decrees by some Ottoman Sultans. Our tour starts with the “Coffee Route,” where we will enjoy coffee tastings at these historic venues. Expect to explore narrow streets, ancient walkways, fascinating old bazaars, and Ottoman coffee storages. Along the way, we will visit Haci Bekir, a confectioner specializing in traditional sweets like Turkish delight and hard candy. The tour concludes with a Turkish coffee-making course, where participants will receive a certificate upon completion. A knowledgeable guide will bring history to life, ensuring your day is memorable and enriching.

Recommended - Very accommodating and punctual, very interesting tour about coffee and quite fun to wander though the markets. Nice to have a guide so you can see things you might not usually see.

Coffee with friends - Our guide was Diana, and she was really great. She took us to places we wouldn't get there not even by chance. Also gave us an amazing journey to different coffee shops, and at the end, the tour felt like traveling with a friend.

Great tour - highly recommend - A wonderful tour guided by Tuncer, who was really informative about the city, with plenty of stories, insights and jokes along the way! If you like really strong coffee, this is the ideal tour for you! I can highly recommend this tour, as well as the Grand Bazaar tour, for which I also had Tuncer as the guide.

Luffing was wonderful!!!... - Luffing was wonderful!!! Fun, humorous, knowledgeable in history, specifically in coffee instructions and a good conversationalist. He anticipated our needs and showed us many new sites of Istanbul. This is a must tour.

A must do Tour into the Coffe Culture and more! - I was picked by my guide Oguzhan. A real fun and informative guy. Since in that day I was the only one to be on that tour, it was more or less Personalized for me. A short introduction to the surrounding places where given on our way to the Grand bazar. A lot of history. We took a tour into the Bazar. Visited the local coffee shops in and out the Bazar. Tried a bit of Turkish coffee reading and finally a Turkish coffee making class including a certificate. As mentioned since I was the only one, Oguzhan was kind enough to include some extras into the tour.
Highly recommended rather than walking around and just clicking photos around!!

Awesome Experience - If you are a coffee lover than this tour is a must. Cengiz is very friendly and knowledgable. One of best tours I have taken on vacation.

Operator did not show, refund refused - I booked a local tour in Turkey. I was 25 minutes early and waited until 15 minutes past the meeting time. The office was locked, no guide showed up, no one responded to my message or phone calls. A man in the street told me they are closed, and TripAdvisor confirms this. I requested a refund but Klook refused it because the operator says they were there. This is a lie. Very poor customer service from Klook and Istanbul Walking Tours.

$75 for 3 shots of coffee while insulted - This guide was rude And. very chauvinistic towards women. We had 2 cups of coffee and made one our self for $200. It was worth $10. He took us to a bathroom where we had to squat on the floor as a woman. He said this is a place for men. He showed no diversity and inclusion towards women. Worst ever
