Top Istanbul Food Tours - page 3

This experience was so much more than I imagined! I really enjoyed the wonderful Turkish food, traditional snacks, and especially the spiritual Whirling Dervish ceremony. The ceremony felt very sacred and meaningful, and I really appreciated being able to experience and learn about this beautiful cultural and spiritual tradition. Our guide, Zey, was wonderful. She was incredibly thoughtful, pleasant, and attentive throughout the experience. My name isn’t always easy to remember or pronounce, but she remembered it right away and kept calling me by my name, which was such a thoughtful personal touch. I’m very particular about food, and although I’m not very familiar with Turkish cuisine, I could immediately tell that the restaurant she took us to was high quality. The vegetables were incredibly fresh, the food was delicious, and you could tell that the restaurant really paid attention to the details. For the price, I honestly thought this experience was a bargain. I enjoyed it so much and am really glad I decided to join. If you’re visiting Istanbul and aren’t quite sure what to do, I would definitely recommend this experience. It was such a pleasant and memorable evening!

This was a highlight of our time in Istanbul. Zey's expertise, delicious street food, beautiful rooftop views, and an incredible family-style Turkish dinner made for a truly memorable evening. We sampled a wonderful variety of authentic dishes—come hungry, because there is plenty of food! The experience was well organized and offered much more than a meal. We also learned about Istanbul’s history, culture, and local food traditions while visiting places we likely would not have discovered on our own. The rooftop stop was especially beautiful, and the transportation between locations made the evening comfortable and effortless. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Istanbul. It is a fantastic introduction to the city, its culture, and its amazing food.

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Kamal! He was such a personable, kind, and genuinely nice guy. He was extremely knowledgeable about Istanbul and the area, and his English was perfect, which made everything so easy. Kamal went above and beyond to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see—and even more. He made us feel safe and well taken care of, handled all the communication with taxis and gave us great recommendations for places to eat. He truly made our time in Istanbul special. After spending the day with Kamal, I can definitely see why this company has five star reviews across the board. We highly recommend him!
