What Customers Say About Delicious Istanbul Food Walking Tours

“The perfect food and photo tour! Olga had relationships with the pushy spice market vendors so we were treated to the "no pressure" sales. They literally put 20 spices on toothpicks into our hands, and declared the protein to cook it with. So cool, I can't describe this!.. Olga’s English was very perfect ...there was no language barrier. If I go back, I will hire her again, as it was definitely a highlight of our Turkey trip!” - Maureen, California, US

“...Our start point was the spice market, we were introduced to the local and foreign spices, the cheese market and then we were taken to a local food market, Olga was keen and knowledgable to explain just about anything we saw, drawing on her own experiences and interesting historical facts... She made all our questions answered, stomachs full and plans set to come back to continue tasting amazing food of this city. Highly recommended!”- Mike and Debra, Melbourne, Australia
