Our family of four were met by Ahmet Can Gurel at our hotel for our delicious dining experience. We took a taxi to the Sultanahmet District to begin our tour in our first destination within the spice market. The entrance was tucked away and we would not have spotted it if we were not directed to it. Here we had our cold starters and a glass of wine. Ahmet explained the history of the restaurant (which was fascinating!) and described the food that was presented. We walked through the spice market to our next destination. It was a nice walk where Ahmet explained the history of the market while guiding us to the next restaurant for our hot starters. The second destination was an inn that was built in 1772 and then our final destination was a third restaurant on the rooftop of a hammam. Ahmet, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly and charming. The experience of tasting food at different locations, hearing historical information and all done while walking to different locations was an all around excellent experience. You should go.
