Kayseri Cooking Lesson & Shopping Tour
Your day begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel in Kayseri, followed by a comfortable drive in a fully air-conditioned, non-smoking vehicle to a local restaurant in the city. Here you will meet the restaurant's chef, who will lead your hands-on Turkish cooking class. With your professional English-speaking guide on hand to explain the ingredients, techniques and stories behind each recipe, you will roll up your sleeves and help prepare a full lunch menu drawn from the rich culinary tradition of Kayseri — a cuisine that has long inspired Turkish cooking as a whole. Alongside the main local dishes, the menu also features traditional desserts and fresh salads, giving you a well-rounded taste of the region. Once the cooking is done, you will sit down at the restaurant and enjoy the lunch you have just created together. In the afternoon, the tour continues to the city centre, where you will have unhurried time to wander, browse the shops and hunt for local products and souvenirs at your own pace. At the end of the day, you will be driven back to your hotel in Kayseri, bringing this flavourful daily excursion to a close.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
