Great way to see Istanbul

Fantastic tour, highly recommend

This food tour was such a great experience! Our guide, Mehmet was super accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful. The food stops were amazing and super generous - if you still happen to be hungry or just love something, you can order as much as you want. Not that you’ll necessarily want to after 10 stops!!!! Some really authentic food and some great options if you’re adventurous. They’re not joking when they say not to eat before the tour! Highly recommend, this was a great day learning about the history of some of the food, how it’s made and some of the culture too.
Amazing

What an amazing tour! Our tour guide Ali was phenomenal. Really enjoyed every moment of the tour. There really is no better way to get to know a country than through it’s food. This is also a GREAT tour to do at the beginning of your visit. It helped us orient ourselves when exploring the city on our own.
Amazing 🤩

Outstanding food tour and a great way to see and taste your way around Istanbul.
Our guide, Bahar, was exceptional. We can not say enough complimentary words and gratitude for how she conducted the tour.
Bahar is knowledgeable, patient, empathetic, and extremely warm and welcoming.
We were a family of 4 from Australia (booked through Viator) and were joined by another 4 Americans. Great number to have for the tour as we were able to mingle and get to know our fellow foodies while also taking in so much info from Bahar about the different meals and historic importance of the culture.
Tasted so much and still left me wanting more - not for lack of servings, we were just having such a wonderful time we did not want our tour to end!
Best food tour.

FULL food day! So much to see, taste and experience in Istanbul. This is a great way to see things you may otherwise miss. When they say “skip breakfast,” do it. There is so much food. Mehmet was knowledgeable and professional as he ushered our group through both sides of the city.

The tour guide (Bahrat) was so patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. Definitely come hungry, as we tried so many different food and it was plentiful. I was able to try local foods that I would never have known about if it wasn’t for this tour. If you are a foodie, this tour is fantastic!

Great tour but have smaller change

Nice experience, guide was very nice. Tasted various foods and experienced other parts of Istanbul.
It is a pricey tour as it is but you are reminded that it is a nice gesture to leave a tip at the restaurants plus you are likely to leave a tip for the guide themselves.
Where we was taken to a spice shop in the spice market, we went back there near the end of the trip and I realised this is not the cheapest shop in the spice market to purchase from.
Unique and tasty! Recommend!

Really well organised food tour of both continents. We sampled many local and traditional dishes, and were given a lot of important history of the food in Istanbul/Turkey.
Highly recommended tour, with brilliant communication throughout the booking process.
Very special mention to our tour guide, Ali, who was brilliant throughout the day!
Great fun, great tastes and a few strange ones for our palate

We had a great guy in Ali. His English was perfect and he had a lovely sense of humour. The tour started on time and was really interesting and very filling. We started in the European side for breakfast and then took the ferry to the Asian side for lunch. 10 stops with a whole load of different and interesting foods. Generous amounts available if you could manage it or particularly liked it. Everything from street food to restaurant quality with the story/history behind it. We would highly recommend this tour, you learn a lot about the history and culture as well as the cuisine. Don't have breakfast at the hotel that morning and definitely put on your walking shoes as you will cover a lot of ground.
Awesome tour

Ali was a wonderful guide. Great stories and a wonderful introduction to the cuisine of Istanbul. We took the food tour on the first day of our vacation. I would highly recommend this as it helped us decide what/where to eat during the rest of our stay.

Such a great tour! Layla was exceptional - so knowledgeable and fun! The places we stopped at were all phenomenal, in fact we revisited several the rest of our trip. The variety of food was great and you leave stuffed so definitely don’t eat before hand. One of best food tours I’ve been on and I try to go on one in each new country I visit. I recommend doing it early on in your trip so you can see the areas and find hidden gems.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
