We loved our experience in Bangkok with…
We loved our experience in Bangkok with our guide Ying. She made everything easy to understand and enjoyable. She guided us through crowded areas with ease and always provided a detailed description of the sights. She also took pictures for us and sent them at the end of every day. We had an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend Ying! You won’t be disappointed! More

Top Notch Services
Kaya at Asia Highlights helped make our honeymoon in Thailand the perfect trip. It was truly the best balance between structured and unstructured time abroad. They cater their services to exactly what you're looking for. Also, their responsiveness is uncanny. Kaya at Asia Highlights in particular deserves special mention. She out our trip together for us, put up with us, and was always available for any hiccups during the trip. We plan to use their excellent services again for our next trip to Asia. Highly recommended, and ask for Kaya! More

Itinerary Details
Istanbul is a city that lives on after sunset. This is especially true in Taksim, where our night food tour takes place. We will introduce you to the lively nightlife and dazzling streets of Taksim, where you will be amazed by the local food and entertainment.
Among other things, you will get to try Turkish tea and coffee, kebabs, raki, and mezes on this night food tour.
Your private guide will meet you in the hotel lobby. To experience life as a local, you will take public transport to the heart of night food culture — Taksim.
We will start with a snack that is often sold on the streets called simit. This crispy, sweet snack is the perfect companion to Turkish tea, and it is irresistibly delicious when it is fresh from the oven.
Next, you can try a snack with an interesting appearance — Midye dolma (stuffed mussels). The stuffing is usually made up of herbed rice, pine nuts, and currants. This is a relatively new street food and a favorite among night foodies.
Then, it's time to get social! In an ocakbaşı, you will experience a Turkish "social barbecue." Sitting by a fire, you can grill kebabs with friends and enjoy raki.
Finally, you will end the night at a Turkish tavern with dance and music. No matter how old you are, you can indulge in the wonderful rhythms and delicious food. Treat yourself to more raki and mezes, and end this legendary night with a full stomach.
Your guide will take you back to your hotel.
