“I had a great time on this coffee tour of Istanbul. My guide, Tuncer, was fantastic. He not only explained the history of coffee in Istanbul, but also he was a great conversationalist. We easily passed the time talking about Turkish culture, art, and history. Of course, he guided me towards three great coffee shops in the city, and he showed me a few places to buy fresh-roasted coffee beans for use at home, yet it was his kind, friendly, professional nature that was the real highlight. I would highly recommend this adventure in Istanbul.”
