Fab night out in Türkiye - Beautiful show and the experience was even better with our guide, Alara. She is a charming young woman and was able to answer any questions we had. The Turkish Banquet afterwards was delicious and once again, Alara’s knowledge of local food made the experience that much better

An evening with friends. - Thank you for a fantastic evening with friends thoughtfully planned, a unique experience indeed. This tour felt like we were in the company of friends rather than being guided by a tour guide. Both Zey and Zeynep like any good host engaged everyone in the party in meaningful conversation. Thank you Mohammed K for the recommendation.

Highly recommend - Şule was an amazing host and shared her obvious love of Turkish food and culture. It was amazing to learn from an Istanbul native. Wish we had done this tour on our first day in Istanbul. The dervish dancing was very moving. Would highly recommend.

Orientation with a local expert - The communications with our guide was perfect. She formed a whatsapp group so we can all communicate and know all of the details of what to expect and what to prepare for. She showed us very quaint local vendors prior to the show. We afterwards headed to an amazing feast that we would never on our own be able to find .

Great guides, food and experience - Zeynep and Beyza were amazing guides! Were very informative, great company and could give us some local recommendations as well to help us for the rest of our trip. Excellent vibes all around, the food was amazing (the buryan especially) and the Dervish experience showed us a side of Turkey you typically see.
