Excellent tour of Kadikoy - Asle gave us tips on using transit to meet her in Kadikoy and she was a charming and informative guide throughout. The tour was an excellent way to experience the Asian side of Istanbul. Asle also shared so much of her culture and life with us. She is a real treasure and we enjoyed spending time with her so much

Highly recommended experience - Our guide was Madina, and it was a great experience. If it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t have tried many of the dishes that were unknown to us, because of the barrier of culture and language. Besides, she was super nice and explained many more things. Thanks for everything

Amazing Tour - Local gem. This tour offers you authentic Turkish food and not the touristic stuff! Sonay really took us to where the locals go to and we saw a side of Istanbul we had no idea about. Kadikoy is beautiful to visit and the food is delicious.

Tour with Sonay - It was a really nice tour. The local guide is very kind and explain a lot of things about Turkish typical food. Also, you eat real Turkish food which is not made only for tourist.

Food Tour Istanbul Asian Side - We had an excellent food tour with Sonay. Fist off she was so kind and nice to wait for us as we were very late like 1.5 hours after the scheduled time as we had some difficulties with our flight in. Since we were the only ones on the tour she decided to wait for us. This tour takes place on the Asian side of Istanbul and gives us little samples of unique items to find in Turkey. We first stopped at a pickling shop and had a sampling of pickled vegetables. All the stops the food samples were good, but I can't remember the names of most things. What I do remember was the wet burger (delicious) and lamb intestine (kind of strange). The doner was good also and we had stuffed muscles. The thing that made the tour great was Sonay. She was so knowledgeable about the area and so kind. I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour. Although I booked through the free tour website their was a $50 per person charge. But overall I'd give it 10 stars.
