Overview

Unlike many standard food tours that include limited tastings or extra spending along the way, this 5-6-hour private experience is a fully all-inclusive culinary journey.

100% All-Inclusive: All generous food tastings and non-alcoholic drinks are covered from start to finish.

Eat Like a Local: Explore the authentic areas of Karakoy and Kadikoy across two continents and discover where locals genuinely enjoy eating.

No Hidden Shopping Stops: Your time is dedicated entirely to food, culture, and enjoying the city.

A Personal Pace: This is not a rushed group walk, but a relaxed private culinary experience with a more personal pace.

Dietary Note: We are happy to adapt tastings for vegetarians and certain food allergies whenever possible.

Drink Note: All non-alcoholic drinks are included. Alcoholic drinks are not included, but may be purchased separately at selected stops.

Activity itinerary

Karakoy

  • 1h
Meet your private guide and start the day exactly like a local. We kick off in the vibrant Karakoy district with a lavish, traditional Turkish breakfast. You will savour classics like menemen (Turkish scrambled eggs with tomatoes and peppers), sucuklu omelette (spicy beef sausage), and decadent kaymak (clotted cream) drenched in local honey.

Tophane Meydan Cesmesi

  • 1h
After relishing a scrumptious breakfast, we will accompany you on a leisurely walk through the vibrant areas of Tophane and Karakoy. During this walk, you will get to know the rich Turkish coffee culture and savour its unique flavour. Additionally, you will get a chance to satisfy your sweet tooth with the freshest baklava, paired with a scoop of delicious Turkish ice cream.

Bosphorus Strait

  • 45m
  • Admission ticket included
We leave Europe behind and board a local ferry to cross the spectacular Bosphorus Strait. Enjoy the sea breeze and iconic skyline views as we arrive in Kadikoy on the Asian side (historically known as Chalcedon).

Kadikoy

  • 2h
Kadikoy is a food lover's paradise. As we explore the bustling streets, you will have the chance to taste authentic, slow-cooked Turkish home meals (at a traditional artisan eatery) or indulge in perfectly grilled, premium kebabs. No culinary tour of Kadikoy is complete without visiting the vibrant fish market. Here, we will dive into iconic Istanbul street food, including savoury stuffed or fried mussels and the famous kokorec. (Plus, your guide will have a few delightful "secret dishes" up their sleeve for you to try along the way!)

Kadikoy

  • 15m
We will end our culinary journey at the Kadikoy ferry station. Your guide will ensure you are perfectly oriented and help you board the correct ferry for a simple, relaxing ride back to your hotel on the European side. • Please note: the itinerary is subject to change, based on the location's availability and weather. • You will have a chance to experience local culture while visiting some local markets, bazaars, and backstreets. • This is a 5-hour walking tour. • We will use public transport such as ferry. • You have full freedom on our tours, and we can accommodate your dietary restrictions, such as gluten-free or vegetarian options.
