The tour guide, Engin, did a fabulous job of presenting the food of the Old Bazaar in Izmir. We had a wonderful afternoon with him, and the various food selections were delicious. It started with soup, and 3 1/2 hours later ended with Turkish coffee and everything in between was excellent. His knowledge of the Old Bazaar and the history of the area added to a lovely afternoon tour of the city. We recommend it being a worthwhile excursion.A top shelf hosted “foody trip”. Engin was a truly patient and flexible host as we experienced authentic Turkish cuisine from starters, entrees to desert. Great conversation around history and culture. Highly recommended.

We made the reservation last minute, yet Engin was quick to reply and customize our tour. We walked through Kemeralti bazaar, one of the world's largest and oldest open-air markets. I know there are walking tours of this market, and Engin's tour is a much better value since we could also sample a variety of foods. Engin is very knowledgeable and passionate about local cuisine. Even though I lived in Izmir and considered myself familiar with the cuisine, we tried exciting dishes, and I learned several new facts. Highly recommend this tour. Make sure to come with an empty stomach.One of the best tours we had while visiting Türkiye! Engin was fun, friendly, knowledgeable and just an all around great guy.
