Great food expérience around thé old city - Beside thé morning culturel tour we took a food tour with and loved it aswell. We had a fantastic food tour on the European side of Istanbul, exploring some of the city’s most vibrant and historic neighborhoods. The experience was a perfect mix of culture and cuisine. Walking through lively streets, hidden back alleys, and local food spots gave us a real feel for everyday life in the city. Each stop offered something different—from flavorful street food and traditional Turkish food items to freshly prepared kebabs, soups, and sweet treats like baklava and kunefe with tea. Higly recomended.

Perfect food tour in the hidden back streets - Amazing experience of local food tour in Istanbul! We had wonderful time with imir who showed us around and shared the stories with us. The food we tried were amazing and tried so many different things. The food tour experience was more then a simple food tour because the guide was so knowledgeable and shared the stories behind culture history and people living in the city. The tour was authentic and true to the hidden back streets of the old city where there were no tourists around. We were lucky to try so many dishes that we would never try by ourselves. Highly recommended to the one who likes local foods

Great food tour into the hidden streets - We had an amazing experience on the Old City food tour. It was the perfect way to explore the hidden streets and discover authentic local flavors we would have never found on our own. Every stop offered something unique, from delicious street food to traditional dishes, and everything we tried was fresh and full of flavor. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing interesting stories about the history, culture, and food of the area, which made the experience even more special. Walking through the backstreets of the Old City added a unique charm to the tour and made it feel truly authentic.

Great experience with local food guide - Taking a food tour focused on Turkish cuisine was an excellent experience and a great way to understand the country’s rich culinary culture. We visited several local eateries and street food spots, each offering something different—from savory kebabs and fresh mezes to traditional breads, desserts, and local drinks. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were well balanced, and everything was prepared with care. Our guide explained the history behind each dish and how it reflects regional traditions, which added real depth to the experience. Many of the places we visited are spots we would not have found on our own. Overall, the tour was well organized, informative, and highly enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an authentic introduction to Turkish cuisine.

Istanbul gastronomic tour - We had a fantastic experience on the Old Town food tour. From the very beginning, our guide was friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable about local history and gastronomy. We walk through charming streets, visiting markets, small shops and traditional restaurants where we taste an incredible variety of authentic dishes. Each stop was a delicious surprise: from typical snacks to local sweets, all prepared with unique and fresh flavors. In addition, we learned curiosities and culinary traditions that made the tour even more special. I recommend this tour 100%.
