The best food tour we've done in Europe! - If you like good food and are looking for an activity in Istanbul, you have to add this to the list. We tried a variety of snacks and dishes, and had a great host. Thank you Zeynep for fully immersing us into your culture. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend.

The experience was 100% worth it and our guide was knowledgeable about the history of Istanbul and knows all the best places.

We had Zey as our guide... - We had Zey as our guide and she was probably the best part of this whole experience! She was so warm and fun, and very knowledgable about the city. It was a great experience with great food - we especially liked the dinner. The only minor ding I would give this experience is that the ambiance at the dinner restaurant is not the best, but overall would recommend!

So much great tasting and unique food. Great guide, very professional tour with wide variety and no hassle - FANTASTIC tour! Best we have had in Istanbul so far. Zey was a wonderful guide to trying new foods that we would not have known how to order or even tried. We tried street food as well as a rooftop with stunning view and a family owned restaurant over 100 years old for a true feast for the final meal of the evening. She is an Istanbul native and provided great information on history of the foods, how they were served and cultural significance, answered any questions we had on food, Istanbul hotspots, Turkish culture . The food was so so good. Yogurt, basil drinks which I wouldn't have known to try were perfect with the meals. I didnt' like Turkish Delight in the past but the place she took us to was super fresh and so tasty. The dinner had kebabs, spices, so many dishes and even a dish made only at weddings and special occasions. The tour was very well prepared and professional. The walking portions were very close to each other, the transfer to the rooftop and restaurant was in a very clean modern transport, everything was included so we never had to worry about cash or tips or extras along the way. The group was small with only 6 people and like being out with family. A great way to try REAL, local, Turkish food and avoiding the tourist traps with french fries, same back to back wraps, and all the street plastic menu, vendor hustle places.

Very nice experience - Very nice experience. Good company and our guide Zey was very warm, friendly and knowledgeable. And obviously very passionate about the tour itinerary. Highly recommend her. (And if you ask nicely she might get her mom to make the rice dish) .
