Highly recommend this food tour - This tour was absolutely phenomenal. Our group was met by Şule who was the most stunning and kind soul, an absolute sweetheart. Before we met she made sure that we had the correct address and map pin for apple and androids phones. Picture were also sent of the meeting location so we would find our way easily. We started the tour with a local appetizer followed by a Turkish delights establishments both amazing. Then we hopped into a van and navigated the street which were having a political protest at the moment. We got to a great rooftop restaurant the had the best night views for photo op. Then off we headed to the main event full of Turkish foods and absolutely all of them were delicious. She ended the night with a small gift and a ride back to a location near our hotels. Before the end of the night she sent a list of all the locations we went too with a reminder of the foods we had. And gave us a comprehensive list of other restaurant recommendation depending on neighborhood we were staying in. I took her recommendations the following days and they didn't disappoint. Definitely book this tour, you will be happy you did, hopefully you will get Şule she was perfect for the tour.

An unforgettable experience in Istanbul! - We attended the Turkish Food Night and Istanbul Rooftop Experience and it was just amazing! Our guide, Alara, was exceptional: competent, friendly and always attentive to every detail. The evening began with a selection of typical Turkish dishes, all delicious and authentic. Each course was accompanied by explanations of its origin and local gastronomic culture. The highlight of the evening was the breathtaking view from the terrace: a spectacular view of the Bosphorus and the illuminated city, which made the atmosphere magical. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to experience the true essence of Istanbul through food, culture and impeccable hospitality. Thanks again to Alara for making everything perfect!

Take this tour at the beginning of your visit to Istanbul! - Do yourself a favor and take this tour on one of your first nights in Istanbul!! My son and I learned so much about local favorite cuisine, culture and places to go. The rest of our time in Istanbul was spent enjoying wonderful food at the places Şule recommended! Speaking of Şule, she was a fabulous tour guide! She was well spoken and made everyone feel part of the group. Having grown up in Istanbul, she also shared about everyday life. Our time in Istanbul was definitely more enriched by taking this tour. Make sure you go hungry…there is so much food! (Also very accommodating to vegetarians.). Thank you Şule for a great tour!!

Beyond amazing - Absolutely amazing experience on this “tour.” My sister and I were visiting Istanbul and set up this dinner experience. Sule, (hope i spelled that correctly), our host really put the work in to give us an authentic experience. She avoids the tourist trap locations and instead brings you to places she would eat at herself. You will literally experience some of the most authentic food to be had. The views are incredible as well. It’s admirable what she has accomplished going around the normal to usual Spots to really share with us what Turkish snacks to dinner are really about. It’s worth every dollar and I would book with her again should we ever return. She’s very friendly as well and her english is spot on. Probably better than mine.

Wonderful Tour - Zey was wonderful, we had such a great time learning and trying Turkish cuisine. We felt like a local with Zey as she knew the hidden and wonderful spots to show us. I would definitely do the tour again, it was a magical experience.

Excellent and enjoyable - We started with street snacks including a new take, for me, on Turkish delight before going on to a rooftop restaurant for great views of Istanbul by night. Then on to a historic restaurant for starters, excellent kofte and chicken shish, and the signature lamb kebab amongst other dishes. The dishes were all excellent and they did not stint on the quantity either. Sule was an excellent guide whose knowledge of and passion for Istanbul and its cuisine shone through. It was like being shown round the city by a new friend.

Amazing Tour with Zeyna! - Zeyna was cheerful, friendly, and knowledgeable. She spoke clear English and made the tour fun and engaging without being over the top. We loved trying different varieties of Turkish delight at a specialty shop—it was a real treat! The food was all very tasty. I was surprised with the amount of food that was brought out at our final meal. More delicious and interesting dishes. Very satisfying without feeling too heavy at the end of evening. Highly recommend!
