      Delicious perfection

      This was a really great experience and we got more than we expected. The tour is in a cute courtyard right next to the Little Hagia Sophia. The Captain gave us a history lesson and showed us around Little Hagia Sophia which was a really nice added bonus. His mom showed us how to cook Turkish delights and it was such a wholesome experience. We each got sent home with gifts of soap, an evil eye, a handmade bowl, essential oil, and of course Turkish delight. My friend and I ended up being the only two on the tour and it was really cool to have a personal cooking class. The Captain and his mom were such a highlight to our trip. We were treated with tea and coffee during the class too which was also really appreciated.

      Deep dive into Turkish (food) culture

      Meike_S, Sep 2025
      I had an amazing time learning how to make Turkish Delights in a wonderful space in the old town of Istanbul with Buğra and his mother Meral. I can highly recommend this activity if you want to dive a little deeper into the culture of Istanbul and its people. You will also bring home some tasty Turkish Delights and other little presents.
