About this experience
What to expect
This experience is more than a food tour—it's a culinary journey across two continents. Rather than focusing on large meals, you'll sample approximately 11–12 carefully selected Turkish street food specialties while discovering the stories, traditions, and local culture behind each bite. From the historic Spice Bazaar to the vibrant streets of Kadıköy, you'll explore both the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, cross the Bosphorus by public ferry like a local, and visit authentic eateries loved by residents. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, this tasting-focused experience combines sightseeing, history, and gastronomy, offering an authentic perspective on Istanbul that most visitors never experience.
