We enjoyed learning about the food that we were eating, the history behind the food, and the many cultures that came together to create the unique dishes they we tried. The time went very quickly and we came away with recommendations for other places that we wanted to visit in Istanbul and in greater Turkey.”

“We had been to Istanbul before, even in the area of Istikal Caddesi. He took us to places we had never seen, food we've never had, and we had the best time. Erol was the best, not only as a guide, but as a friend. He explained what and why the area had grown so much since our last visit. This was one of our best tours ever with Viator.”
