5.00Sinan was fantastic - wonderful food AND shared lots of information about Istanbul/Turkish food, commerce, etc. We went to eating and bazaars in both European and Asia sides of Istanbul. So not only a very good food tour but provided excellent information to orient us to Istanbul.
Do this tour, you will absolutely love it!

5.00Selen took us for a great tour of both the European and Asian side of Istanbul. She gave us great insight and brought us to some cool small restaurants, especially when it came to breakfast! The people were very nice and we got a try a bit of everything with the entire group. My wife and I love doing food tours in new countries the first day just to get a feel of the city and cuisine, and this did not disappoint!
