Wandered the backstreets of Karakoy and Kadikoy with a guide who clearly knew the streets, the people, the food and the history of this beautiful city. Gonca Karakoc is not just a knowledgeable guide, she has the energy and the charisma to make the whole tour experience both enjoyable and educational. Exceptional!

+380 fotoğrafI try to do a food tour in every city I visit, no matter how many times I've been. This was not my first time in Istanbul but it was my first tour with Culinary Backstreets and it did not disappoint! First, I must say that Ibrahim was awesome - great personality, stories, and made sure we got history lessons in addition to food lessons (he's an architectural history buff which was a bonus since Istanbul is an example of the mingling of multiple cultures). The walk-eat-walk format really works..,...daha fazla oku

Our tour guide Ibrahim was phenomenal. We got an opportunity to taste a vast array of local food. He was informative and provided us with tidbits of information, stories that helped bring history of food alive for us. I would highly recommend the tour. Take it. It won't disappoint!!!

Your visit helps support our mission of honest tourism and preserving these timeless food traditions. We hope to share more stories and tastes with you on another walk someday.
Ibrahim was the perfect host/guide. It was my first day in Istanbul and this turn set the tone for the rest of my time. We had a myriad of foods and drinks at various location. Ibrahim was especially attentive to me after I tripped on a raised drain pipe and fell. Going the extra mile because I was not familiar with the metro routes and my hotel was in Levant, he escorted me to my hotel at the end of the tour. I would highly recommend going on the tours he leads
