Cooking with a sweet soul - What a great way to learn!!! Aysu is one of the sweetest souls that I have ever meet. She is an amazing host and made feel at home in her home. We made delicious breakfast and had amazing conversation. This is definitely an experience you don't want to miss. If you are in Istanbul go learn something new I did. Thank you Aysu and Lokal Bond

Turkish Cuisine meets Indian Cuisine - Aysu has been a great chef and a wonderful friend.The moment we met her we did not even feel for a second we are meeting her for the first time. She took us so welcomingly to the local markets of Besiktas for buying the groceries for our breakfast while she also elaborated so minutely about various products we were buying for cooking the breakfast. She made the amazing and delicious 😋 turkish breakfast from menemen too ....for us while chit chatting along with us about the delicacies and culture of the Turkish food. She has been one the close bond between us and the lokal bond.She made us feel so homely that due to her we were so comfortable meeting the other family members of lokal bond. We really enjoyed the amazing food with the company of the lokal band group and homely feeling while exchanging thoughts and views about our cultures. We would always recommend lokal bond and Bawer to our friends to feel the touch of Turkish culture whenever they travel to Turkey 😃

Everyone should experience this! - We really wanted to immerse ourselves in Turkish culture and step outside the normal tourist experience! We love Turkish food and I love to cook! This was perfect! The tour operator calls it a community and that is exactly how it feels. Before, during and after communication was brilliant, a ride to the experience was organised for us a couple of days prior when we decided it would be tough for us to get there easily early in the day and reached out to them and it was sorted straight away- no problem! The experience itself felt like making new friends, as well as making and enjoying wonderful food! We stayed to chat after as-well and share stories and travel tips! This was an authentic experience that we really enjoyed and everyone should experience this! The tours that lokal bond offer is like no other tour group- to experience real Istanbul with locals! When we return to Istanbul we will definitely be booking about experience with them!

Wonderful and Unique Experience - This was a great way to experience a Turkish breakfast and learn how it is made. It was also a great chance to talk to both people who live locally and others who were visiting (and their cat Petra!). It was a very inviting and delicious experience.
