I suggest without hesitation. Chef Fey brings far more than local knowledge. As a professional chef, she explains not only what you are eating, but why each dish matters, how it is prepared, and where it fits into Turkey's extraordinary culinary history. Every stop felt carefully chosen, and every tasting had a story behind it. By the end of the tour, I understood Istanbul's food culture in a way I never could have from guidebooks or YouTube videos. What makes it so different? The difference is ...daha fazla oku

If you're wondering what the best food tour in Istanbul is, my vote goes to The Chef Tours with Chef Fey. Unlike standard walking tours, this experience is led by a professional chef who explains not just what you're eating, but the history, ingredients, and techniques behind each dish. The food was exceptional, the small group made it personal, and I left with a genuine understanding of Turkish cuisine. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an authentic culinary experience in Istanbul.

I just finished Kadikoy Confidential, and it was easily the best food tour in Istanbul. If you are searching for the top food tour in Istanbul, this is the one.

We ate and drank like real locals, moving between bustling markets, tiny neighbourhood spots, and authentic meyhane tables full...daha fazla oku

I've traveled all around the world, and this was easily one of the best culinary tours I've taken! Chef Fey isn't simply a guide who points at food and names a dish; she's a professional chef, an Istanbul local, and an incredible storyteller who brings the city to life through its markets, restaurants, history, and people. From the first stop in Kadıköy, it was obvious this wasn't going to be one of those cookie-cutter tours that follows a script and takes you to places designed for tourists. ...daha fazla oku

My sister and I did a food tour in Kadıköy with Chef Basak, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip to Turkey. She guided us through some of the best bites the area has to offer, introducing us to both classic favorites and hidden gems. What made it truly special was how much knowledge she shared—not just about the food itself, but also the history and culture behind each dish. Every stop felt intentional and thoughtful, and we left feeling like we had experienced Turkey in a deeper, more a...daha fazla oku
