Amazing!

Great tour guide! All the spots we went to were very local, varied, and tasty. The tour guide gave us info about each restaurant and dish, their history, etc. He even asked us about our dietary restrictions when we first met him! Absolutely recommended.

Amazing!

The food as amazing as I had expected, but I was also pleased that the entire experience went on without a hitch. Traveling to a new country (a bit embarrassing since my parents are Turkish...), I expected some things to go wrong as this was a fresh experience, but my food tour of Istanbul was smoother than I ever could have expected. I'm a big seafood guy, and I was very happy when we got to the fish market, and when I had several helpings of clams. Overall, the experience I had truly tasting my own cultures food for the first time is one I will be chasing when I come back again.

Amazing!

I loved my experience with Özkan. He’s a great tour guide. He showed my cousin and I a lot of cool places that matched our interests and was a quick thinker. I did the tour during Eid and a lot of things were closed which presented difficulties for him but he figured it out and as a result, we were able to have a great time. He tailored the tour of foods to try based on our preferences. I had the best mantı ever, tried Raki for the first time, tried a lot of new and a lot of things I already loved. I loved the trip across the Bosphorus and how patient he was with us when we kept stopping for pictures and videos. I would do another tour with him when I visit Turkey again!
