Istanbul Private Food Tours with a Local: 100% Personalized

Our tour was with Burak...

Our tour was with Burak Gulcan. What a fabulous time we had with him! We travel frequently and I can say he was one of the best tours guides we ever had. We went to the Asia side of Istanbul where he explained the different foods and spices in the local markets. He was able to have the local merchants give a sample of their various foods. We were never rushed and he took his time to explain origin of the food and how its relevant to the Turkish culture today. At dinner we sampled a variety of different types of food, all of which was delicious. Burak was so accommodating to make sure we understood the Turkish experience our tour ran over the scheduled end time. I high recommend this tour and Burak.

Istanbul Half-Day Tour: Private & Personalized with a Local Guide

A private tour is a great best value for your time and budget

We had a wonderful experience with our guide Tugba who crafted the tour around our interests so we could maximize our time. She was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Istanbul and greater Türkiye. She patiently answered all of our questions and provided helpful travel tips. I highly recommend Tugba as a guide. The fee with City Unscripted was quite reasonable and doing a private tour with Tugba was definitely worth our time and money.

Istanbul Mystical Odyssey Tour (Private & All-Inclusive)

Fabulous

This private tour was fabulous and worth every penny. Tutya took it slowly at our own pace. (my husband had torn his hamstring a few months earlier,) even though we went over 13,000, steps we did not feel rushed or pressured to go faster and did not realize how much we had walked. When we wanted to stop for a coffee or just people watch, she knew exactly where to go. She definitely catered to our interests and wishes. She provided us with history, information, navigated through the crowds, and showed us some of the lesser seen areas such as the Greek neighborhood, which was so lovely. Our driver was kind and courteous and went above and beyond getting us to the airport, which was a very far distance and much past his contracted time. He was prompt and got to us quickly being on call with our guide, Tutya. Lastly, Tutya selected and arranged dinner at a lovely restaurant on the Bosporus, which was the perfect end of an exquisite day.
