Onder is the best tour guide in Istanbul. We had fun on our food tour and he showed us some real extraordinary local restaurants. He gave us pointers about the neighborhoods we walked through and familiarized us with their history.

This was by far one of the best tours. Hüseyin took us to local places and we sampled delicious food. The tour was very informative and the information was delivered at a really nice pace. I would totally recommend because you can learn so much about the culture and the country by experiencing the food.

Onder’s food tour is fantastic. We really got to explorer some unique street foods that we would have never found on our own! Onder gave great recommendations for places to eat and also we got to try samples of so many different local food, we were pretty stuffed by the end of the tour. Although I’m a hard core meat lover, I found that the vegetarian items and the sweets were the best food on the tour, the meat dishes were OK, but not my favourite
