Tour description

Welcome Dear Walkers and Food Hunters!

Street Food Tour will offer you to discover Turkish Cuisine which is not very well known for the tourist.


We design this tour for you in certain locations of old city where locals spend their time for food & drink with more reasonable prices.


As it is a free tour paying for the food is on the attendees. I will be explaining culinary customs and showing the places for the food. Attendees may pay for the food for tasting or they can just listen and get to know about these places. It is not obligated to buy the food.

* Better if you keep with you 600-700 Turkish Liras to try food and drinks on spots.

* This is not a vegan or vegetarian friendly tour!


* Walkers are expected to be patient and respectful with each other in case ordering food may take time at some spots.


* Tour route will around 1,8 km.

*Please note that at the end of the tour, you are expected to tip the guide minimum 10 Pounds, 10 Dollars, 10 Euros or 400 liras per person

* We keep the number of walkers between 4 - 10 in our tours.

*The tour duration may vary depending on the guide and the number of participants. 

*Smoking and consumption of alcohol are strictly prohibited during the tour.

Önder took us for a walk around the city and showed us some good places to try local food that we would have not tried without him. He also provided interesting information about the city landmarks. Recommended.

It was a nice selection of places, definitely tried things I wouldn’t have tried if it wasn’t for the tour, I would recommend! Just make sure you come hungry as there are a fair amount of stops :)

Onders was patient, knowledgeable and always brought us to places that weren’t tourist traps. Gave us an abundance of knowledge of ever monument/mosque we passed by and at the same time managed to stuff our faces with food. It was my families first time using guru walk and i can’t say enough about him. 5 stars.

Onders var en skit bra guide som gav en massa bra rekommendationer och vi prövade en rad intressanta maträtter under turen. Han var även kunnig om turkiets historia och Islam. Jag följde med honom en bit efter turen var färdig och han fortsatt ge rekommendationer och visade mig även en vacker moské. Jag tror det är den bästa touren jag varit med på. Se bara till att ha med kontant och att tipsa honom i slutet. Starkt rekommenderat 👍
