Exceptional food and hospitality in a great part of town
As a solo traveller to Istanbul this was a great introduction to local cuisine and an especially vibrant part of the city. Completely satiated after 5 hours but not overfull. Defne was a warm, engaging and very open host - no question was off limits and we learnt a lot about life in Istanbul and Turkey as a result. Another amazing Culinary Backstreets tour - can’t wait to experience my next destination with them.

Amazing
Duygu was an amazing guide! We had so much fun and tasted so many different foods. The restaurant choices were out of this world. We loved that we were able to tour the Beyoğlu neighborhood which is something we would have not been able to do during our short stay in Istanbul. I would 100% recommend Culinary Backstreets to everyone!!! Thank you

Wonderful food tour in Istanbul
Our guide Remsiye gave us a fantastic evening, visiting 8 different places for a variety of food and drink. She explained some of the history of the area, the food culture of Istanbul and Turkey, and told us some of her story as well. I would highly recommend this tour and Remsiye as a guide, and we will definitely look for other opportunities to go on a Culinary Backstreets tour in another city.

Absolutely love this tour with the lovely guide Ersin. (A national certified guide for the whole country of Turkey)
What a pleasure and a privilege to get to know these local flavors. Hidden gems that light up when the stories are told.
Delicious food, lively neighborhood, beautiful human bonds. Highly recommend!
