Zeynep was an amazing tour guide so fun and generous had such a lovely group and time with everyone 🩵
Zey was a great tour guide and took us to some amazing spots!! The food was really good and we were able to have vegetarian options. We got a snack, then some sweets, went on a rooftop with a really nice view for coffee, and then had a feast.
Had a brilliant time trying street snacks, a lovely rooftop with view, and then a delicious and what felt almost bottomless dinner. Thanks to Zeynep for showing us around Istanbul!
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.
This tour was a fantastic way to experience cuisines around Istanbul! Each stop had thoughtfully selected and prepared dishes. Sule was an amazing guide and made the whole group feel welcome!
Zeynep was amazing!! She was funny, gracious, and extremely knowledgeable. We went on a Saturday evening - Highly recommend doing this in the late afternoon or evening to enjoy golden hour or night lights. We enjoyed the private transportation between sites, and of course all of the delicious food! Make sure you get your photos on the gorgeous rooftop.
Loved this experience with Ziya. We had a great night out visiting some of the best locations in Istanbul. Ziya is very accommodating, and so knowledgeable. Her love for Istanbul is infectious, you can’t help but fall in love with the city the way she narrates it. She was also very accommodating to our fussy 8 and 10 year old kids - they had the best night out. Food is delicious and the view on the rooftop bar is amazing. Highly recommend
Memorable experience. Every food item we tried was absolutely delicious! The extra cherry on the cake was having an amazing tour guide in Sula (aka Shu Shu). She paced the tour well, and with her bubbly and warm personality it made for a lovely experience. Will happily do the tour again.
This was a lovely evening in Istanbul - we got to try a wide variety of Turkish food and drink. Our guide Zey was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful.
We had a wonderful night with Zey on this experience of the Rooftop & dinner Tour. Great group of people & food & places Zey took us to were amazing and she explained all about the food we were having.
Absolutely fantastic! Şule was a truly great hostess - knowledgeable, interested and interesting. The restaurant we went to was excellent, and the provided transportation made everything so easy and convenient. All in all, a lovely evening in Istanbul. A+
Sule was a wonderful host & a remarkable coordinator! Logistical challenges for some of our group members, and unexpected rain showers were mere speedbumps that Sule navigated with cool precision (calm under fire). All of the food was excellent, and ending with dinner at one of Sule’s family favorite restaurants was a real treat. We enjoyed her friendly insights & guidance as much as the food (if not more). Wonderful experience!
Our tour guide, Sule Sule, was excellent. She was very welcoming and warm. Her knowledge of history was helpful in explaining sights and statues. Our food tour was tasty and with excellent views. I would highly recommend any tour Shue Shue guides.
Zeynep & Zeynep were amazing guides who were very knowledgeable not just about the food but Istanbul in general. We had our 7 month old baby with us during the tour and they were extremely accommodating and friendly which made the trip such a treasured experience. Would highly recommend
Zey greeted us at the meeting point with such friendliness and enthusiasm, we knew we were going to have a great night! The tour was fantastic and Zey was very knowledgeable and passionate about Turkish food and culture. It was also great value for money. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul.
Nice tour. We were fortunate to have a great group and meet new friends. Give yourself time to find the meeting location. You are taken by car to a rooftop and then to a restaurant for dinner and get to experience some different neighborhoods.
Amazing food, great tour guide, and well structure and time tour. Loved it!
You get great pics, you will see from street food to family style dinner, and you will get around old town hassle free. I totally recommend it!
We had a wonderful evening with Zeynap. We tasted many delicious and authentic Turkish foods including Turkish delight, Turkish tea and Ayran, a wonderful feast. We joined a group of 5 others (we were 7 in total) and Zeynpa created a wonderful atmosphere for the group. Thanks you all. 💕
What an amazing tour! Sule is a real gem. She greeted me with such enthusiasm and compassion, showing my group a great time. We started taste-testing almost immediately and everything was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour and our sweet guide, Sule.
This was actually my second food tour in Istanbul with a different company. This one was unique in that it was more of a sit-down dinner rather than lots of little samplings. We had the most wonderful guide and she honestly made the whole experience. If you have a short layover in Istanbul, this is a great evening tour!
This was a delightful introduction to the culture of Istanbul and Turkiye through its cuisine. Sule was a phenomenal guide. She is very knowledgeable about the food and culture. I found her to be friendly and very engaging. The selected venues really made this a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this tour with Sule!
Zey was such a lovely guide! She took us to several local gems with delicious food and taught us a bit about life and culture in Istanbul. Each dish was unique and there were options for vegetarians. She even had a little surprise for us at the very end. Thank you, Zey!
Şule was a fantastic tour guide who proudly shared with us her love of Istanbul and its food (and its cats!). She provided a great first introduction to the city, sharing its history and culinary delights. Once the tour was finished, she made sure we had countless recommendations for where to eat next. Şule made my fiancee and I feel very welcome, so we would highly recommend taking a food tour with her anytime!
We had a wonderful evening meeting new travelers tasting great food, drinks and snacks. Both of our guides were so nice and informative! Great tour and I recommend when you’re in Istanbul going on this tour.
This was a wonderful experience! Our guide Zeynep spoke excellent English and is very knowledgeable about the different Turkish foods and customs. The itinerary went to several different establishments with beautiful views and the best food selections. It was very informative and memorable. We were a party of three that joined three others at our timeslot. They change vehicles depending on the size of the overall party. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Istanbul!
The food experience was fabulous! I would highly recommend from original communication through to the night itself i really couldn't fault it. Sule our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
Zey was a fabulous guide. Such a fun evening, great stops and the food was amazing. Zey was so personable, lots of history and stories and gave us recommendations for other activities and places to go. A must do when in Istanbul.
Our host, Zeynep was lovely and knowledgeable about everything local and gave us a true authentic taste of Istanbul culture and cuisine. The food was plentiful and great company. She ensured we were looked after from the start and catered for all our needs including to make sure we got dropped back to safe areas close to our hotels
The food tour was excellent. There was a variety of food. The kebabs were so tasty! The tour guide was so friendly and eager to share her knowledge of this wonderful city.
The tour is fantastic. Our guide Shule took us for an amazing food tour! She knows a lot about the area and the history of Turkey. We got to try several different food and had an amazing dinner with more food than we could possibly eat!
