Great half day food tour around Kadikoy with ferry trip

Nigel_F, Apr 2026

Great breakfast food tour from Erol over to Kadikoy He is very friendly and knowledgeable on the history or Istanbul and Turkey, and also gave us interesting insights into turkish everyday eating traditions for breakfast, coffee and lunch - all our food stops were very interesting and tasty. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get a more immersive experience of local food and history.

A perfect Way to Kick off Our Stay in Istanbul

Alva_W, Feb 2026

Erol Utgun our tour guide took us on an amazing tour that quickly gave us a better understanding of Istanbul by getting us better acquainted with its amazing culinary offerings. The streets of Istanbul are filled with interesting little restaurants, coffee, candy, spice souvenir shops but at first it can all feel a little overwhelming. Our Guide Erol Utgun carefully curated the tour allowing us to experience a wide variety of food and drink and gave us Insite to their origins in Turkish culture and their place in today's food scene. Erol not only gave us a feel for the food he answered all of our touristic questions and was a great conversationalist. I and all of my travelling companions give this tour and this tour guide our strongest recommendation, 10+ star review!
