  I had the absolute pleasure of exploring Istanbul with Ferdi as my guide, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Ferdi isn’t just a tour guide — he’s a true storyteller and food enthusiast who brings the city to life. He took me through some incredible foodie spots, including places famous for kokoreç, midye, tantuni, balık dürüm, and even iconic establishments like Karaköy Güllüoğlu (since 1843!) and Asmalı Mescit Dürümcüsü. Every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and authentic. What truly stood out was his passion. Ferdi doesn’t just show you places — he explains the history, the culture, the local traditions, and even the little details you’d otherwise miss. His knowledge about the city is impressive, and the way he shares it makes you feel deeply connected to Istanbul. If you’re looking for someone who can combine amazing local food with rich cultural insights and genuine enthusiasm, Ferdi is your guy. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the real Istanbul beyond the tourist spots! Thank you, Ferdi, for such a memorable and delicious day! 🌟

  My tour with Hüseyin was fantastic even in the rain! He was so generous with his time and knowledge about this city that he very clearly loves. I was only here for a short time but I learned so much from Hüseyin. This tour was a great quick dive into some delicious food and the history of the area and the city at large. I would recommend this tour and look forward to coming back and doing another tour with Hüseyin.

• Amazing experience!

  I joined the evening food tour, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Our guide, Ferdi, was incredibly engaging and exceptionally knowledgeable. Every piece of information he shared was valuable and enriching. The food we tasted was outstanding—truly delicious. The venues we visited were authentic, and the flavors were unique and unforgettable. The atmosphere throughout the tour was fantastic, and the evening walking tour was especially enjoyable thanks to the beautiful weather. Everything about the experience was excellent, and we sincerely thank everyone involved. This time I traveled alone, but next time I will definitely return with my family and join this tour again. I highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you very much!

• Incredible tour, strongly recommend!

  I highly recommend this tour! Ferdi was an incredible guide. Showed us the amazing food that istanbul had to offer, some places we even went to on our own, showed us some incredible sights via a walking tour and shared his wealth of knowledge and has a great personality, lots of laughs and was overall a pleasure to spend the evening with.

  I wanted to share my amazing experience from the gastro tour I attended last night! It was an incredible culinary adventure! We tried the most delicious dishes: dürüm, tantuni, mussels, kokoreç, baklava... everything was superb! But what really made the evening special was our guide - he was very attentive and caring. Thank you for a wonderful evening, I will definitely recommend this tour to all my friends! 😊
