This tour gives you the opportunity to increase your appreciation for and knowledge of Turkish cuisine and its regional variations.
Your experienced and charismatic English-speaking foodie guide will meet you in a comfortable café and then accompany you on your gastronomic treasure hunt.
You’ll stop for tastings all along the way, meeting the chefs behind the dishes and the friendly shopkeepers who sell their delicacies to locals, while your guide shares the background stories of their cultures and creations. At the same time you’ll be exploring very authentic local districts that you might not otherwise visit, and developing your understanding of how food fits into the broader culture of the city.
At lunchtime, you’ll take a longer break at a special type of restaurant.
Your guide will accommodate your particular interests as much as time allows. There won't be any pressure to buy anything, and there are no commissions involved. You’ll feel very different about Istanbul and Turkish food culture than you did six hours earlier!
