Experience the best of
Izmir with Withlocals

"If you’re considering a tour, don’t hesitate, Süleyman is exceptional. This was one of those rare travel experiences that stays with you long after you’ve returned home. 🌍✨ "

"Suleyman provided such a nice introduction to Izmir for us. Super nice guy too. Wow. He knew we were very interested in history and Suleyman gave us great insights. His tour was just perfect for a few hours. We learned about historical sights, we visited the marketplace, tried some food.....and all the while Suleyman explaining things for us. Very nicely done! Highly recommend!"

"We had such a nice evening with Asu in Izmir. Wow. First of all, Asu has an absolutely wonderful, fun, happy personality and was just a joy to be with. Not to mention her incedible knowledge of the restaurants in the city. We tried so many great foods that we would never have known about on our own. Asu even went well beyond our original time because we were all having such great conversation and evening together. We didn't want it to end. I HIGHLY recommend hiring Asu if you happen to be in Izmir. You will be thrilled you did! Best of luck Asu! "

"Us (a group of 3) booked a food tour with Asu to get acquainted with local cuisine. All of us are coming from a quiet diverse background and have a basic knowledge on Turkish food and culture. Asu has a very welcoming personality, which makes it quite easy to communicate. She made sure to introduce us not only to the local cuisine, but also to the Turkish culture of hospitality. Apart from our program she shared other suggestions for visits and new food experiences (including location pins 😁). All of us were extremely full and sated after this tour. Hence, we recommend Asu as a food guide to anyone who’s new, or not-so-new too 😊, to Izmir or Turkish culture in general. The whole tour was filled with a cozy atmosphere, occasional historical lessons and facts, and obviously a really good food. She did not make us feel as if we are in a hurry or set timeline. My companions even got their fortune readings, which was a first & fun experience."

"We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Suleyman in Izmir! His deep knowledge of Turkey’s history and ability to draw fascinating comparisons with other cities, both in Turkey and abroad, truly brought the stories of this beautiful town to life. Suleyman tailored the tour perfectly to our interests in Turkish cuisine, introducing us to delicious local dishes and flavors we would never have discovered on our own. Exploring the hidden nooks and crannies of Izmir’s charming streets was a highlight, revealing gems most tourists would miss. Highly recommended Suleyman for anyone looking for an enriching and personalized experience!"

"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. "
