Experience Food tours in 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. 🌍✨ "

"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."

"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. "

"Ays was a wonderful guide and the food was delicious. She was patient explaining what everything was and local history. I highly recommend this at the beginning of your stay in Izmir in order to get your bearings in the market and what to look for for your next meal. "

"Asu was an excellent tour guide. We did a combined highlights and gems tour with 10 tastings tour of Izmer. Asu showed us many beautiful sites and gave us so much great information about her city. As well, she brought us to many restaurants and coffee shops and gave us so many delicious foods, beverages, and sweets that are local to Turkey and this area. She finished with a stop at the top of a tower with a beautiful view of the city and a sunset cocktail. It was a lovely day and I highly recommend Asu. She is a charming and caring tour guide and she is extremely knowledgeable. She was even willing to help me with a little bit of shopping. Thank you for a great day Asu."

"My family really enjoyed getting to walk with Asu, getting to know her, the city, culture and food. It was a great evening and we would book again!"

"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!"
