This five-hour guided food tour in Istanbul covers traditional dishes on both the European and Asian sides of the city, following an off-touristy path.

The walking route is mostly flat and totals about 1.5 kilometers, with walking segments between stops lasting three to five minutes. The tour includes five traditional local drinks, tea and coffee, and dinner served on the Asian side. A public ferry ride across the Bosphorus Strait connects the European and Asian sides. The licensed English-speaking guide provides information about the foods and neighborhoods throughout the tour. The tour does not include hotel return transport, but the guide can help arrange a taxi or accompany guests back if within walking distance. The maximum group size is ten people. No alcoholic beverages are included, and some food stops do not offer vegetarian or vegan options. Children six years old and younger may join free of charge.
