Great Food Tour - Thanks Erik for a terrific food tour. We really enjoyed the evening, you were entertaining and informative. We learnt a lot about Turkish food and places to eat like a local in Istanbul. And were very full by the time we finished 😜

A must for expanding your knowledge and enjoyment of Istanbul - We arranged this tour while in Istanbul. We were a bit skeptical that someone would turn up at the meeting point but it tour guide, Erol was waiting when we got there, ten minutes early. Erol was friendly and approachable on the way to our first stop. He gave an interesting introduction to the tour, along with various historical facts of the area as we passed. We made several stops at during the tour, taking in both local drinks and food. We particularly enjoyed going off the beaten track to discover interesting side streets where locals hang out. We savoured a range of traditional dishes, with Erol explaining the history, along with how each was made. We really wished we had taken the tour earlier in our holiday as we found the background given so informative. We thoroughly recommend the tour to anyone who is interested in history, the local area and tasting traditional dishes.

A Wonderful Taste of Turkey - We had such am amazing time today with our guide, Erol! He was a fabulous and knowledgeable guide who not only taught us about the authentic Turkish foods we were eating, but also about the people and culture Turkey! We ate amd drank with locals, discovered the beauty of the Asia side of Istanbul, and Erol was an expert on it all! This tour was a great value and we would so it again in a heartbeat!

Great authentic food experience - Great tour away from the tourist crowds through authentic food spots and alleyways. Erol is a very knowledgeable guide who told us a lot about Turkish culture and life in Istanbul as well as the food. The food was fantastic and we would do the tour again at any time.

Great informed diverse foodie tour - Great walking tour to food places, cute alleys to find hidden gems of different cuisines of turkey. Erol is informed and enthusiastic, giving so much detail and context for a range of dishes and their origins and the neighbourhoods they’re in. 5 of us had a great time either a diverse range of snacks n coffee.

Amazing Food Tour with Erol Utgun! - This food was incredible!! Erol Utgun was a fantastic guide, he was so friendly and wonderful! We tried so many different dishes across a dozen different stores and markets. He was so helpful, clear and knowledgeable at each stop. He asked so many questions about us and was extremely kind all day! This was worth the value as we got some much food, and experienced the city in such a unique way. Can’t recommend enough!!
