A very memorable evening, would recommend - This was a really enjoyable evening. Sinan was our guide and he was super friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend visiting the Asian side of Istanbul, it was so unique and had so much to offer. We were looking for cool places and great nightlife and we got it. Plus tasty food and good wine. It is a lot of walking so plan accordingly or we were happy to get a taxi for ourselves at the end of the evening. Company was great with communication and planning.

An Indescribable Culinary Experience in Turkey - Exceptionally memorable tour. We were provided with an abundance of knowledge regarding Turkish cuisine and were able to sample a wide variety of it. Adaptations were made to accommodate my meat intolerance whenever feasible, ensuring that I did not miss out.Sinan was an exceptional guide, and our conversation was a delight. Visiting a distinct region of Istanbul was enjoyable.

Ayşenur will take you on a tasty and cultural Kadıköy street food tour. - Ayşenur took us on the Kadıköy Street Food Tour. There were six of us on the tour, and we got to try a lot of the great food in Istanbul on the Asian side. Ayşenur, our wonderful guide, was happy to teach us about her culture and show us some great places we will definitely visit again. Very strongly suggested!

Varied and entertaining culinary tour - Nicely varied and entertaining culinary tour. The fact that residents crowded every station was wonderful. I had never tried most of the cuisine, so it was wonderful to discover new places to go back to. Elvan was incredibly flexible and fired up. He could include some desserts that we wanted to sample and gave one of our guests vegetarian or pescatarian options. Excellent price for a truly enjoyable evening.

Great combination of local food, Turkish wine, and history all in one tour! - Aysenur was a fabulous guide through the streets of Kadikoy! She provided a rich combination of history, culture, food, and wine for us as we visited several areas and tasted four delicious Turkish wines. I was so busy listening, looking, and tasting that I didn’t snap any photos! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Turkey's wines and culinary delights - What a fantastic experience! My friends and I joined this tour with little knowledge about Turkish wines and cuisine, but we were blown away. Our favorite pairing was the crisp white Emir with the delicious local pastry called borek. The creamy cheese filling of the borek perfectly complemented the smoothness of the Emir wine. Sinan, our wonderful guide, led us through four more delightful wine and food pairings, along with extra tasting stops along the way. It was both delicious and fascinating—a perfect introduction to Turkey's culinary delights. Thank you, Sinan, for an unforgettable tour!

I love vines and pearls ❣️ - As a food tour guide in Rome, Italy, food is not just a passion but a way of life for me. When I travel, I take my culinary experiences very seriously and choose carefully. Vines and Pearls caught my eye with their carefully curated experiences, and I must say, I was not disappointed! We had the pleasure of trying four wines: two whites, a red, and a natural wine—all of which were exceptional and unexpected, made from local grapes found only in Turkey! And while Turkish food is already fantastic, the pairings were incredibly well done and fitting. It was a culinary journey that exceeded my expectations. Grazie mille, Vines and Pearls, for a truly unforgettable experience! And a special thank you to Sinan for hosting us with such warmth and hospitality.
