Don’t miss out on this. Very important that you also visit the Asian side. Eat responsible and eat little at each stop so you don’t get full too quick.”

“I had only one day to spend in Istanbul so I decided to do this food tour to experience the most of the local cuisine going to different parts of the city . The tour itself was great and fulfilled my expectations and our tour guide Salim was very attentive and patient during the entire tour . He also had a great sense of humor and ensured we had the best time possible during the day. The only downside was that the ferries were closed due to bad weather and we ended up getting the subway instead however that was not the organizers fault, just bad luck. Overall I recommend…”
