Izmir Food Tour

Die Tour war super! Obwohl ich die einzige war die an dieser Uhrzeit gebucht hatte, hat sich Engin trotzdem nicht nehmen lassen mir eine persönliche Tour über die Kultur und Küche von Izmir zu geben. Jeder Stopp war nach meinen Vorlieben personalisiert und wurde mit viel interessanten kulturellen Fakten hinterlegt. Sehr Interessante und definitiv leckere vier Stunden. Würde ich jederzeit weiterempfehlen!

Engin was such a great host for our food tour in Izmir! Such a wealth of knowledge and very friendly and personal. I would highly recommend everyone to take his food tour in Izmir!

Last week my family and myself went on a food tour with Engin. We had a brilliant experience tasting lots of different foods and learning lots about Izmir specific specialties. There is no doubt surrounding Engin's knowledge, nor is there any doubt around the quantity and quality of food experienced on the tour. Engin also sends around a list of the foods you tried which is a nice touch and without I would be unable to highlight a few of my favorites' parts :Keskek - A wheat and meat stewKaradut Serbeti - Mulberry DrinkIzmir Bomba - Cookie with chocolate insideSambali - Izmir local dessertAs you can tell I have a sweet tooth but there was lots of savoury options also ! Highly recommend this food tour.

Wir haben eine sehr leckere und (er-)füllende Food Tour mit Engin gehabt. Es war immer eine gute Auswahl an Speisen vorhanden sodass jeder Geschmack Zuwendung empfand. Die Zusammenstellung der Tour war logisch und gut gewählt außerdem konnte auch gut auf unvorhersehbare Schließungen von Restaurants reagiert werden (aufgrund des Ramadan).Engin ist aufgeschlossen aber nicht aufdringlich und konnte durch Weltgewandtheit mit jedem Gast eine Verbindung schaffen.Alles in allem: absolut das Geld wert.

My girlfriend and I joined this tour with Engin at the first day we came to Izmir. It was a great idea as Engin navigated us through the whole variety of Turkish cuisin taking into account our preferences. We experienced a lot, and those four hours made our trip to Izmir much more memorable. Thank you Engin! Highly recommended.

I joined the tour with my wife. The tour is well organized, punctual and the places and food chosen are quite authentic. Engin seems to be quite expert in finding out the best local cuisine. Two thumbs up!

Had an outstanding experience with Engin on the Food Tasting Tour in Izmir. We were arriving on a cruise and decided to hire Engin for a private food tour. He asked about dietary restrictions ahead of time, as well as interests for shopping. We met promptly at the agreed upon time and location and started an amazing day. Engin took us to so many locations to experience traditional turkish food and each was better than the last. We started with coffee and breakfast and worked our way through pastries, cheeses, fish, salad and the list goes on and on. Engin was also very interesting and informative of Turkish history and his personality was so pleasant. When it came to shopping he was helpful with bargaining as well. If you want to have an amazing experience in Izmir, don't hesitate to hire Engin for a day.

A great way to experience Kemeralti market as a family, Engin was a lovely guide and accomodating with our kids (a 1 and 6 yr old). Highly recommended, we hope to do another tour with Engin soon!

We learned and experienced so much at This food tour with Engin. He definitely had the shops/restaurants picked according to their specialties and after a thorough explanation of the options we were able to pick the item that we wanted. We did this for cheeses, deserts , grilled meats, soups , etc.Engin answered our questions and added some interesting foods that we questioned.We really got a feel for the Izmir market present and history of. We ate soo much and finished with a traditional Turkish coffee overlooking the local mosque over the courtyard of the han.Would recommend but come hungry and open minded

We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with Engin. His passion for food and people was quite evident, as he was a very gracious host and very knowledgeable and excited to share his favourite foods with us. We enjoyed many different dishes and drinks during our tour through the bazaar. We would never have sampled all of these different dishes without his expert recommendations. Highly recommend this tour!
