Asia Highlights make any trip a VACATION!
I had the pleasure of booking my Southeast Asia trip through Asia Highlights, and I cannot speak highly enough about the outstanding service I received from Kaya. From the very beginning, Kaya demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of what makes a trip truly memorable. More

Amazing service - Thailand trip
We had a lovely experience with the service received from all the team of Asia Highlights (travel specialist/coordinator, guides, drivers). In particular, the representative that organized our trip, Jimmy, was amazing. He was able to prepare our trip in a very short notice and customize it to satisfy all our requests. He was knowledgeable and always replied very fast. We were very pleased with his service and we highly recommend the agency. More

Every Detail Attended To
Our guide, Marie, was so knowledgeable, professional, and kind. She was really attuned to our needs and spoke perfect English. She even brought me a special gift this morning because she knew I was looking for a Christmas ornament representative of Thailand. We did not have to think about any of the details. More

Tour Highlights
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.
