“Потрясающий гастрономический тур! Мы попробовали лучший Искендер-кебаб в нашей жизни. Переправа на пароме в Кадыкёй с чаем и симитом была очень романтичной. Гид великолепно говорит по-русски!”

“Don't eat breakfast before this tour! You will be constantly fed with high-quality local food. The Kadıköy fish market part was fascinating. It’s worth every penny for the history and the belly full of food.”
