So many great tastes and sites from the Bosphorus

Gerard_H, May 2024

While the large quantity of very good food wa great our guide, Kube, was the star. We had so much fun and laughed a lot. Have coffee for breakfast as you will be eating the remainder of the day. A little shopping here and there, but this experience is for your taste buds. It was also nice to spend time and eat on the Asia side of Istanbul via the ferry with great pics of Old City from the Bosphorus. Highly recommend this tour

Great Experience

Carissa_W, Apr 2024

The tour was a great experience. Enjoyed every minute of it and learnt a lot about the history of Istanbul

A must do food tour

Debbie_W, Nov 2023

Food tours are an amazing way to experience the culture of the area, we have done several “food tours” and this one was fabulous. Ozgur was a great guide who took us to some wonderful places throughout the city, educated us on the flavors and traditions of Istanbul and showed us the beautiful city with an inside perspective. Would definitely recommend Ozgur as a tour guide; he will take great care of you and will enhance your travel experience. Two thumbs up, Thank you Ozgur!!

Would definitely...

Would definitely recommene. After booking the wrong date (my fault), Ozgür & co. were very flexible. Communication was flawless. Tour was wonderful. Great experience.
