10 Tastings Of Istanbul Foodie Tour

Oh my what can I say but wow. This was a great tour and we were so full after we didn’t need dinner. All the food we tried was yumm. And learning about the food and its origins was really interesting. Out of 10 we give it a 20. Worth every cent. A definite must while in Istanbul.

Erol was first class. We loved this tour that taught us so much about the city as well as its food. The food we tried was delicious. A great way to visit Istanbul and gain an insight into its culture

Tolga was amazing! We had so much fun, learned a lot and of course ate even more. Would highly recommend this tour. It’s a great way to see part of the city and learn about the culture; plus you end up finding all the good spots to go back to!

Gamze was an excellent guide. Really friendly and chatty. Gave a bit of history and showed us some great off the beaten track places to eat and try amazing food.

Erol was our tour guide on this Istanbul food tour and he was excellent. The tour was just the right blend of stops, size of portions and information. It started in a cafe with a Turkish breakfast menemen and sujuk and tea, we then moved to try tantuni. Then on for some Turkish coffee, then to a shop to try manti and gozeleme. We then had mackerel wraps, mussels, cig kofte at various stalls. Finally a tulumba. Each stop we heard the history of the food, how Turkish people eat now and Erol was absolutely lovely. I thoroughly recommend for families.

Very professional and well organised. Erol was attentive and very informative, a pleasure to have been guided by him. Food was delicious!

Lovely guide with such passion for turkey and food. Very friendly and personable guide. Highly recommend!! Thank you!!

Informative, fun and very tasty! Would recommend to all who are wanting to step off the beaten path and to go down some of the side streets to find the hidden treasures that you may not find on your own. Thank you

Erol was a brilliant guide - full of knowledge about food, and also the city and country. Absolutely recommend this tour, and him.

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 😜

Erol our tour guide was great! He told us the history of the food we tasted. Took us to some super places . There was a nice variety of food to try . He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend him

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.

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 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 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.

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!!
