“A+++++ Zeynep was a fantastic host. She shared her love of her city, culture, and food. Another thing that made this particular tour great was the fellow travelers. Having great fellow travelers make the experience even better. The rooftop restaurant where we had coffe/tea was spectacular. The views from there were breathtaking. The main part of the tour was the feast. Absolutely delicious. They were a couple or new things that I tried and glad that I did. Absolutely must do.”

Pose in Istanbul with a flying dress, Bosphorus views, Turkish lights, edited photos, videos, and a clear look at the extra cash fee.

“Unfortunately the experience was quite disappointing. The day of my photoshoot rain was forecasted for the afternoon. I expected the session would be cancelled / rescheduled as it does say that this activity requires good weather, so I was a quite surprised when the photographer didn't cancel or reschedule and instead confirmed my booking for that afternoon. The directions to the location were good and the building was easy to find. Whilst I felt there was a lack of choice in flying dresses to choose from (and the color I wanted was unavailable) there were lots of accessories you borrow (earings, necklaces, crowns) which was nice. It started to rain…”

Taste local Istanbul street food, sip tea on a Süleymaniye rooftop, and enjoy a generous Turkish dinner for $70.

“I frequently book food tours to gain a better understanding of the culture of the country I’m visiting, and this tour exceeded all expectations. Şüle, our guide, was a pleasure to be around, clearly sharing my love for food (and pets). She is incredibly kind and very passionate about showing her favorite food and drink spots. We first stopped at a street food shop for food that I would never thought of ordering, nor would I have ever stumbled upon the shop to begin with.
