My wife and I took the "The 2 Continents 2 Markets" tour in late April on our first day in Istanbul. That was the right decision. Gokcen's delicious, fun, and informative 5+ hour tour took us from the docks of Karakoy on the European side to the fabulous neighborhood of Kadikoy across the Bosporus on the Asian side. We sampled... More

My wife and I just returned from Istanbul and during our stay we took the Two Markets,Two Continents with Angelis. We cannot say enough about the tour. It was recommended to us by family friends and I admit that I was afraid to get my hopes up; however, any expectations I had were far exceeded. The tour is great for... More

Do not pass through Istanbul without taking time to enjoy the walking foodie tour that Angelis and the Istanbul Eats team runs in the Old City. The best international layover I've ever experienced - able to get into the city, eat and walk for 5 hours and get back to the airport for my flight home. Our small group enjoyed... More

We were lucky enough to have Ansell the co founder of this tour as our guide, this tour was by far one of the best foodie tours I have been on for a while, Ansell has a wealth of knowledge and the Places he takes us to are amazing, throw in the food and some history on each person/business we...

The Istanbul Eats Old City walk is an opportunity to eat and talk about some of the best of Istanbul's fascinating food. My wife and I took the tour with Angelis who is as enthusiastic about Istanbul as he is knowledgeable about it's food. Starting with a breakfast of cheese, olives, clotted cream with honey, and tea, we moved through... More

this tour was amazing. I'm a big foodie and I'm an even bigger fan of off the beaten track exploring. this tour melded both perfectly. I was a bit taken aback with the price when I booked, but consider the following: unlimited food and drinks, six hour small group tour, free culinary backstreets book at the end. with all that,...

We booked the tour as recommended by a friend and was so pleased we did! Angelis was informative, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and most of all totally passionate about the food and people of this amazing city. Loved hearing the stories of all the people behind the delicious dishes, and trying some local delicacies that we would probably never stumbled across ourselves.... More

We did the Secrets tour and like many previous reviewers I'd like to offer one initial caveat: do not eat breakfast before going on this tour (maybe even fast for half a day previously) because there is a tremendous amount of food to sample. Angelis is a unique guide: tremendously knowlegable, infectiously passionate and a bit of a food star;... More

We were advised to book early by a friend. He was right--these tours are very popular, for good reason. We found it a terrific introduction to Istanbul. The guide was knowledgeable about food, but also culture, history, and lifestyle. We peppered him with questions about politics as well and he gracefully answered everything without giving (or taking) offense. The book... More
