Overview

Turkish food is bursting with exotic flavours but it all comes together in the beautiful city of Istanbul, where the cuisine is tied to its rich history and cultural diversity. Discover this bustling city's vibrant food culture with a Host, who will take you through the neighbourhoods and culinary backstreets of a city lined with an eclectic mix of mosques, temples and churches. Wander through the city streets and feast upon authentic dishes from the street cafes, food stands and ‘meyhane’ taverns of Istanbul. Within 24 hours of your booking, we will contact you to find out about your interests so we can assign a like-minded local who will create a bespoke experience for you. Your Host will suggest an itinerary and agree a meeting time and place, but you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
