Eat like a local in Istanbul

Our tour was with Burak Gulcan. What a fabulous time we had with him! We travel frequently and I can say he was one of the best tours guides we ever had. We went to the Asia side of Istanbul where he explained the different foods and spices in the local markets. He was able to have the local merchants give a sample of their various foods. We were never rushed and he took his time to explain origin of the food and how its relevant to the Turkish culture today. At dinner we sampled a variety of different types of food, all of which was delicious. Burak was so accommodating to make sure we understood the Turkish experience our tour ran over the scheduled end time. I high recommend this tour and Burak.

We had a fantastic food tour with our guide Ipek. Ipek gave us many options that would meet our needs and expectations. We sampled many local Turkish foods that we may not have normally found. A fantastic private food tour.

Tugba was a very knowledgeable and engaging guide. Communication leading up to the tour was fantastic. We visited three locations, two for street food, the third for Baklava. More stops with smaller portions would have been preferred, but the overall experience was enjoyable.

One gets a sample tasting of Turkish street food in a neighborhood where locals too eat. I didn’t feel like a tourist. It was fun.

Ipek provided an insider’s expertise on the secrets of finding the best culinary tidbits-in Itanbul..

We did a fabulous evening food tour with Burak. We went to places we would not have found on our own and tried food we wouldn't have known to try. He was very knowledgeable and had lots of fascinating information that made the tour amusing and interesting. It was just what we wanted
