One of the best tours that I have EVER been on! Our tour guide, Yusuf Sipahi, was nothing short of perfection. He made us feel very comfortable, was extremely knowledgeable of the culture and history of Istanbul, and even added a few extra history stops along the way. We enjoyed food at 10 different locations and left stuffed. Since we came on a cruise, we only had 8 hours in Turkey. Yusuf went above and beyond making sure we got to experience everything we could in such a short period of time. 10/10 tour

While there was a slight mix up. I was able to be scheduled the same day. Gamze was very insightful on the best food to experience in Istanbul and provided some insight into istanbul. Gamze provided enough options and opportunities to experience different foods and was very friendly and flexibleto my tastes. I wanted to keep eating but was too full to keep going! Rhe timing was perfect and i had a beautiful sunset ferry boat ride back.
