Experience a broad variety of local foods. We walked 3 or 4 miles, but had regular breaks to eat and drink. Our guide, Sinan, was great. Fun and very knowledgeable. 10 people in our group. Not too big. Great fun!

What an awesome experience we had. It was so interesting learning about Turkish culture and history through their cuisine. We had a fantastic tour guide who did a great job of helping us get to know each other and further enhancing our experience.

Sinan our guide was terrific. Very knowledgeable about all things Türkiye not just food. The time between offerings was just right and the quality of the food was 5 star. This tour is absolutely fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone interested in food and wanting the experience the real Türkiye.

Great exposure to different areas of Istanbul. 8 different food stops. It's a long tour (6 hours). It's a lot of walking mostly flat with a few stairs. Bahri, our guide, was great. He explained all the dishes and their histories. Bahri also knew the appropriate times to stop, give history of the area, and a break in the walking.

We had a wonderful and totally memorable food tour with Kahn. We ate so many delicious things that we never ever would’ve found on our own and the guide was friendly, knowledgeable, charming, and totally on top of every last detail. It’s also unique because you go over to the modern side of the city by ferry, so it really is a wonderful way to get to know the city. This tour was recommended to me by a friend, and I have to say, it really delivered! Now let me be your friend and recommend it to you!

It is almost a full day, but paced so you don’t get tired out. Our guide Feyzanur was wonderful. She was organized and prepared and fun to be with. She had a good rapport with all the vendors we visited.
