Istanbul Food Tour: Street Food, a Rooftop and a Traditional Dinner

The best way to get to know Istanbul is through its food. This Istanbul food tour takes you to hidden corners of the city to taste street food, stops on a rooftop with a view and ends with a traditional Turkish dinner at a long-established family restaurant. Make sure you come hungry.

What will you taste?

The evening begins with a range of street foods at spots the locals love. Then you sit down at a family restaurant known for its traditional recipes to a spread of around ten dishes, from starters and mezes to kebabs and dessert. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available; just let the operator know after booking.

Rooftop views of Istanbul

One stop on the tour is a rooftop terrace overlooking the skyline. Here you enjoy tea and coffee with an evening view of Istanbul and chat with fellow travellers from around the world.

Everything included

Food, tea and coffee are included, so there is nothing extra to pay during the tour. Afterwards, a private vehicle drops you at Sultanahmet, Sirkeci, Eminönü, Galata, Taksim or the cruise ports.

Who is it for?

It is ideal for food lovers keen to explore Turkish cuisine, solo travellers who want to meet new people and anyone who wants to experience the city like a local. The tour is suitable for wheelchair users and pushchairs. As this is an evening food tour, keep lunch light; there is plenty to taste at the table.
