This tour blends authentic local flavors with history, street life, and storytelling, guided by a professional English-speaking guide.
Begin in Karaköy, where you’ll meet your guide and ride the historic Tünel up to Pera . Start your tastings with a classic dürüm kebab, then walk through hidden backstreets as your guide introduces Istanbul’s street-food traditions and daily life.
Along the way, sample local favorites such as kokoreç, stuffed mussels, fried mussels, and turnip juice (şalgam). Continue along İstiklal Avenue, passing landmarks like Çiçek Pasajı and the historic Mısır Apartment, while tasting tantuni with ayran.
Visit a traditional pickle shop to try mixed pickles (spicy optional), then stroll through the charming streets of Cihangir, passing Kılıç Ali Paşa Mosque and Hammam.
