Amazing - definitely recommend

Published on Jul, 2024

We so enjoyed our exceptional day and food tour with Ozzie in July 2024 - in fact it was the highlight of our 3 week trip to Greece and Turkey. The food was absolutely awesome, sampled at 6 local gems, frequented by the locals, and dotted around Istanbul. We caught ferries, trams ,walked a great deal and touched on 2 continents ( Asia and Europe). We were hugely impressed with Ozzie’s knowledge on Turkiye and his command of the English language. We cannot recommend Ozzie enough - he is an absolute must on your travels of Istanbul. Thank you Ozzie!!!

So many great tastes and sites from the Bosphorus

Published on May, 2024

While the large quantity of very good food wa great our guide, Kube, was the star. We had so much fun and laughed a lot. Have coffee for breakfast as you will be eating the remainder of the day. A little shopping here and there, but this experience is for your taste buds. It was also nice to spend time and eat on the Asia side of Istanbul via the ferry with great pics of Old City from the Bosphorus. Highly recommend this tour

Highlight of our whirlwind weekend in Istanbul

Published on Apr, 2024

I can’t praise “Oz” highly enough. Not only did we enjoy some amazing Turkish dishes we also got to hear stories about Oz’s experiences growing up in Istanbul and how the foods we were eating fit into the lives of everyday Turks. Oz was so experienced that he was able to get us to try new dishes and provide us with experiences we never would have had on our own! We only had the weekend in Istanbul and had a mediocre private tour of the big Mosques and Topkapi the day before. This tour more than made up for our so-so tour the day before. Oz even helped us to see a few more sites on our own!

Great Experience

Published on Apr, 2024

The tour was a great experience. Enjoyed every minute of it and learnt a lot about the history of Istanbul

Fantastic Tour

Published on Mar, 2024

Ondie was a fantastic guide. He provided an authentic introductory to the culinary delights of Istanbul, both European and Asian side. He managed to incorporate plenty of information around the modern day and historical Turkish people lifestyles. Highly Recommend! Well worth the time and money.
