Our guide was good and knowledgeable. He gave us good information about the history of istanbul and the back stories of some of the foods. I even had the best Adana I've ever had in Turkey, however, there weren't any surprises nor wow factor. It was still a great tour and I would've given it 4 stars if it wasn't for the high price tag of 85euros each (a total of 170 euros for my partner and I) which made me expect much more.

We had been to Istanbul before, even in the area of Istikal Caddesi. He took us to places we had never seen, food we've never had, and we had the best time. Erol was the best, not only as a guide, but as a friend. He explained what and why the area had grown so much since our last visit. This was one of our best tours ever with Viator.

Excelente, informative, safe, and good value excursion for people interested in great food at local haunts. It was limited in numbers which was great, and we went to at least 7 places for different types of dishes and drinks. The guide (sorry I forgot his name) was well presented, easy to understand and had great knowledge of the local dishes and area. It was worth every penny. An absolute must for “foodies”. We sampled stuff we would never ever have tried on our own and it was all exceptional well done
