Experience the best of
Izmir with Withlocals

"We visited Izmir as a stop on our cruise, Yarkın was very friendly and helpful, he helped us to find our meeting point from the port and was early ready to meet us at the arranged time. He was very knowledgeable, taught us a lot about the city and it's history and was also great with our two young children. He showed us the bazaar in the old town and also took us into the newer commercial area. We had the opportunity to sample some local coffee and food which was delicious. He also went above and beyond to help us with some shopping I particularly wanted. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Yarkın and it was great value for money."

"It was great tour, with more than enough food. Very tasty local food. Asu is very friendly, walked us around nice places, on top of what we have visited with her, she showed us different bars and restaurants that we can visit. Recommending this tour especially for those who would like to feel the spirit of Izmir"

"We had a really great time with Asu, it felt like we experienced the city like a local:)"

"Just would like to say we had a great few hours with AYS giving us a walking tour around Izmir She took us around the Market area and showed us the local food delicacies and shops Local mosques and surrounding land marks She is very knowledgeable and is a lovely person We would like to thank her for again for a nice tour and would recommend taking a tour with AYS Dave Ann James and Stuart UK"

"My walking tour of Izmir was wonderful and Ays was a fantastic guide! She was very friendly and a great conversationalist, and exceptionally helpful when I needed help with public transportation. We tasted great food and explored the market while she explained to me the cultural and historical significance of this beautiful city! I highly recommend taking a tour with Ays! "

"Süleyman provided us with a comprehensive and unique tour through Izmir, including the Kemeralti, Bostanli, Carsiaka and Alsansak. We sampled a superb variety of traditional food and were provided with great insights into the Turkish way of life be-it historic or contemporary. Süleyman’s superior expertise and experience in matters of interest to us made this an unforgettable and delightful tour that we will keep in high regards for years to come. We can highly recommend a guided tour with Süleyman and would be delighted if we would have another chance to be guided by him in the future. "

"We had a free half day in Izmir and we booked a late afternoon 3 hour 10 Tastings tour with Asu. Asu was friendly and knowledgeable giving us insights into the history and life in the city whilst walking between sidewalk food stalls where Asu organised a tasting of local food and drink for us. Although we had already been in Turkey for 5 days we experienced large servings of delicious foods and drinks that we had not been served before (we skipped dinner as we had so much to eat). Asu also gave us sightseeing and restaurant recommendations. The tour was a great experience. Do yourself a favour, if you have some spare time in Izmir book a tour with Asu."

"I can't recommend it enough. He was patient, showed us a lot of Izmir and took us to delicious food. definitely excellent guide"

"We enjoyed our time with Ays. She is knowledgeable and fun to be around. Our tour was perfect. Thank you Ays for the tips!!"

"My family and I were very privileged to have a night food tour in Izmir with Yarkin. We felt like we were on a tour with a friend not a guide. He was very personable, knowledgeable, friendly welcoming and a great young man. The food we tasted and the sight seeing was amazing!! We would highly recommend this tour to everyone. "
