With Atahan as our guide, we had a wonderful day exploring Istanbul! From the Rustem Pasha Mosque in Eminou, to the Spice Market, the ferry to Kadikoy and back to Karakoy with great food all along the way! Atahan offered many foods we’d be reluctant to try on our own, but were delighted to find that we enjoyed! Very flexible in adapting to our interested and time frame. Great way to spend my birthday! Highly recommend this tour with him!

The food tour in Istanbul was a terrific way to experience local culture. Our guide, Pinar, is a Turkish native and lived in the city. She guided us to neighborhoods we wouldn’t have seen, all while tasting local foods from savory to sweet! The private one-on-one time allowed us to have great conversations about Turkish life, history, and, obviously, food. We had a blast and highly recommend—especially if you get a guide as caring and thoughtful as Pinar. Best of all, I can know boastfully tell people I ate in Europe and in Asia all within the same afternoon.

What an amazing opportunity we had spending the day with Burak touring Istanbul and tasting some delicious new food and drink! We chose this food tour with the desire to dive deep into the culture and to be able to experience Istanbul through the eyes of a local, and Burak exceeded our expectations! We were expertly guided through the city using public transportation and then the ferry and then walking from place to place as we sampled some of the best food and drink! Burak is so knowledgeable about the history of this ancient city and he knew the best places to get the best food. The pizza was my favorite! The Turkish coffee was very good too. Burak speaks very good English and was so engaging and kind and truly made this the best day! We did a lot of walking but it was not overwhelming at all. We ended the tour with some cold, Turkish beer and great conversation. Burak was so warm and welcoming and he made us feel like family that day. We are eager to revisit Istanbul to explore some more and to see our new friend Burak.
