Best food tour in Istanbul - Honestly this was one of the best experiences we had in Istanbul. Şule is amazing. From the start she treated us like friends, not just another tour group. She actually told us to call her anytime we need anything in Istanbul, which was so sweet. The food was incredible but what really made it special was Şule herself. She knows so much about Turkish food and history but she's not boring about it at all. She's funny and really passionate about everything she's sharing. We went to some hidden spots I never would have found on my own and some famous places too. I don't usually write reviews but I had to for this one. If you're in Istanbul and want to actually understand the food culture and eat a ton of delicious stuff, just book it. You won't regret it.

A really awesome food tour for solo travelers - I frequently book food tours to gain a better understanding of the culture of the country I’m visiting, and this tour exceeded all expectations. Şüle, our guide, was a pleasure to be around, clearly sharing my love for food (and pets). She is incredibly kind and very passionate about showing her favorite food and drink spots. We first stopped at a street food shop for food that I would never thought of ordering, nor would I have ever stumbled upon the shop to begin with. We then went to a rooftop restaurant with a GORGEOUS view of Süleymaniye Mosque where we had coffee. We then went to another restaurant I would not have stumbled upon on my own where we had awesome local dishes and had more than enough food for seconds. I would highly recommend this tour for everyone interested in local cuisine :)

Best Food Tour in Istanbul - Joining Alara’s food tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Istanbul! From the start, she made us feel welcome, guiding us through hidden gems that tourists often miss. Experiencing the city’s cuisine from a local perspective rather than just the well-known spots made all the difference. Every stop on the tour was thoughtfully selected, offering authentic flavors. The kebab we had for dinner was hands-down the best we tasted during our entire stay—so flavorful! Beyond the food, Alara herself was a fantastic host—knowledgeable, warm, and full of great recommendations. The places she suggested for the following day ended up being some of our favorites! If you’re looking to experience Istanbul like a local, this tour is a must! Highly recommended!

Confirm after you have made the booking with the operator directly - Food tour did not go ahead. No contact from the operator until I contacted them at the start time of the tour asking whether the tour was still happening. Tour operator said tour wasn’t going ahead and they could not contact me. They did offer full refund which I received promptly. It would have been nice to know they were not running the tour as I had booked it weeks in advance. Having it cancelled at the last moment prevented me from booking an alternative tour

No show no service no care factor - The host never turn off and we waited at the meeting point over 1 hour. We rang them and they still never turn off We probaly never use them ever again unless we get a full refund and apoliogy.
