Unser Guide Tunç hat mit viel Herzblut, Begeisterung und Wissen diese Tour geführt. Wir haben die türkische Küche sehr positiv erlebt und haben auch Essen probiert, das wir selber nicht bestellt hätte (Read More)n. Nach den beiden Frühstück fuhren wir mit der Fähre auf die asiatische Seite. Tunç hat uns auch auf dem Bazar und an den Marktständen einiges übers Essen erklärt. Wir durften viele verschiedene Speisen probieren. Trotzdem haben wir uns am Schluss sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Tour ist relativ teuer, doch hat es sich rundum gelohnt. Wir würden diesen Ausflug auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlen.

Our guide Sarin was outstanding and all four of us in the party were impressed and very pleased. Not only did we learn about the food, but we learned about the history of Turkey and the region.
