Top Istanbul Food Tours - page 4

This was so much more than the food. Our guide gave us so much history and mad it fun. Literally 8 food stops , ferry ride, spice bazaar. Just the right amount of walking to get hungry for the next stop. The food was amazing and we got to see alot of Istanbul.

Our guide Ali was exceptional. Super informative, patient, professional. He made sure to tailor food options to include everyone’s dietary needs. Major props to both him and the establishments visited for that. I am vegetarian and feel like I hardly missed out on a thing! We tried a great variety of Turkish specialties and felt this was a perfect way to spend our first full day in Istanbul. Not only did it help in getting accommodated with the food in Turkey, but the customs and the city itself as well. We’ve travelled a lot and this is our first time booking a food tour. I’m so glad we did! The price tag was hefty and we wondered if it would be worth it but we had a great time. Huge thanks to Ali and Yummy Istanbul!

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!
