Great tour!

We had a great time on this tour! We were the only 2 people and our guide was very flexible in making sure we had a good time. The stops were all unique and enjoyable and we learned a lot about how Turkish coffee is made. Tea was also available at most of the stops. It was a great way to spend the day and see the city.

Very accommodating and punctual, very interesting tour about coffee and quite fun to wander though the markets. Nice to have a guide so you can see things you might not usually see.

Coffee with friends

Our guide was Diana, and she was really great. She took us to places we wouldn't get there not even by chance. Also gave us an amazing journey to different coffee shops, and at the end, the tour felt like traveling with a friend.

Great tour - highly recommend

A wonderful tour guided by Tuncer, who was really informative about the city, with plenty of stories, insights and jokes along the way! If you like really strong coffee, this is the ideal tour for you! I can highly recommend this tour, as well as the Grand Bazaar tour, for which I also had Tuncer as the guide.
