Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"the food was fantastic. we tasted a nice variety from places as tourists we would not have stopped at. Yarkin, managed a nice mix of walking, history and food Thank you"
"We had an absolutely wonderful time with Yarkın! We tried so many delicious food and drinks, learned so much about İzmir, and learned about Turkish culture. Yarkın was so kind and so generous with his knowledge. He took us to spots not open to the public and even helped us get a good deal on some Turkish music. There were more food, drinks, and desserts than we could eat. Do not hesitate to book this tour, it will be an afternoon you will not forget! "
"We had such an amazing time with Yarkïn, all the food was wonderful and we learned so much about Izmir. He even read our fortune in our coffee cups! We got to go on the tram and the ferry! Highly recommend taking this tour!!!"
"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."

"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:)"
"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 great experience with Asu. She’s super friendly and welcoming. It felt more like going out with a friend for the evening. She really tailored the tastings to our preferences, not just a standard set of places. She also gave us really good recommendations for the rest of our trip. We highly recommend!"
