Yummy Turkish experience - This is a great way to experience Istanbul delicious food. We tried Turkish teas, Turkish sweets, viewed the city at sunset on a rooftop. We ended the evening at a wonderful restaurant that brought us a wide variety of dishes. Shushu, our guide was delightful and made it a very fun evening.

Wonderful Experience – Great Food, Friendly Group, and an Amazing Tour Leader! - I got this for my parents, and they had a wonderful time! The food was excellent, and the group was friendly and welcoming. Even though my parents aren’t fluent in English, they were still able to enjoy themselves, make friends, and communicate with others. A special thank you to Sule—my mom said she was amazing and did a fantastic job as the tour leader!

Great Food Tour - We loved doing this food tour. Şule was a great guide, lovely person, friendly and knowledgeable. The rooftop even had a whirling dervish which we would have missed seeing otherwise. Authentic Turkish food. Can absolutely recommend this tour. 10/10.

Lovely tour made so much... - Lovely tour made so much better by Sule. She made us feel very welcome, and included everyone. Stopped at various food stalls and got a little history at each stop. The view from the roof top is spectacular, followed by a fabulous meal, with limitless food. Even the short transfer are provided in style!!

A culinary Turkish delight - We took the train from the cruise port 3 stops to the meeting point. She created a WhatsApp chat so if you have questions, you can contact her. Plus she sent a video of the meeting point so we knew exactly where to go. Short walks to our first two treats. Then, how wonderful, an arranged van took us to a lovely spot with the best views of the city for a simple tea. A bonus, we saw a whirling dirvish perform here too. And she explained the meaning behind the performance. But wish I had brought a jacket. The day being so hot, it deceived me that the night air would be warm, not the case. So bring a layer!! Makes you want to return to this spot again. Back to the van, onto the most incredible shared dinner with your new group friends. The lamb was so tender, smokey chicken. Try the rice chicken tower with the spicy brown seasoning. The yogurt sauce was a huge hit with our group. The ultimate hi light, the flaming dessert!! This tour is a great first night if you are staying in Turkey or the overnight on a cruise ship. I cannot recommend it enough!!! Plus she provided a list of everything we are and recommendations of other places for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Wish we were staying longer.

Susu and Zeynep were... - Susu and Zeynep were amazing. As a solo traveler sometimes it can be difficult to interact with a lot of people. They engaged the whole group, made sure we all felt like friends out to dinner. The spots they took us to were out of this world. Not only their knowledge of the places we went, they also sent us a group text with a list of their favorite breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert places that of course we could not try all in one day. I definitely referred back to their list the rest of my time in Istanbul to see if I was around any of their recommendations.
