Loved this Food and Spice tour, would recommend not missing this when in Istanbul. Our guide Bah was excellent, he took us to so many places and the food was amazing. There’s a great variety of foods and you definitely won’t be hungry.

Bosphorous cruise
Crew was great. We were a couple of minutes late because our cruise ship was delayed in arriving. However, the tour operator saw us running towards the ship and waited for us. The English translation on the audio speaker wasn’t very clear. But otherwise it was a great experience.

Street Food Tour of Istanbul
We had a brilliant time. Our guide Huseyin was excellent. He took us on a walking tour of New Istanbul and ferried over to Asia where we tried different foods at each stop. This gave us a completely different view of the foods we know. Things that we normally didn’t like had a totally different taste with the spices and condiments . He also explained how to pair our food and drinks together Huseyin was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. Thank you Huseyin you made this trip amazing. Would definitely recommend this tour and would totally book Shore Excursions again.

İstanbul Mega Lüfer Dinner Cruise Bosphorus and Show – Pvt. Table
Zeila_K, Sep 2026
The Traditional Performances Made the Night
This was such a fun and memorable way to spend an evening in Istanbul. The Bosphorus views were beautiful, the atmosphere was lively, and having a private table made the experience feel even more comfortable and enjoyable. One of my favorite parts was the traditional dancing during dinner. The performances were so much fun to watch and really made the night stand out. It added a cultural element to the cruise that made the experience feel more special than just having dinner on the water. The staff was also very nice and helped make the evening enjoyable from start to finish. Between the food, the traditional performances, the atmosphere, and the nighttime views of Istanbul, this was a really nice experience and one I would definitely recommend.

A Nice Way to Experience Both Sides of Istanbul
This was such a great way to see more of Istanbul and experience both the European and Asian sides of the city in one tour. I really enjoyed being able to see so many different areas without having to plan all of the transportation myself. The Bosphorus cruise was one of my favorite parts. It was really relaxing and gave such a beautiful view of the city from the water. I also liked getting to see Istanbul from a completely different perspective after spending so much time exploring it on foot. The tour was well organized, enjoyable, and a really nice way to fit a lot into one day. I would definitely recommend it if you want to see more of Istanbul beyond the main tourist areas and experience both continents.
