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.

Terrific tour! The small group allowed for a personal experience. I learned lots about local food and drinks, history, religion, and local customs. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and insightful. Compared to other tours I’ve taken, I really enjoyed how relax the pace of the tour was. The guide adapted to what people wanted to see and do - pausing in some areas longer than others depending on people’s interest. I’d definitely recommend to any foodies or people wanting to explore the Grand Bazaar with a guide!

It was a new experience. It gives you very basic information and experience of Turkish food and desserts. I suggest you do your search and look for not touristic places and eat like locals.

We were only 3 people which mad the experience more personal and we got space for all the questions we wanted.

Fatih created an amazing tour for us. He brought us to eat things that we would have never discover on our own. Thanks a lot for the fantastic tour and explanations! I strongly suggest this tour!

Thanks to Fatih, I learned about chicken breast pudding - which I would never have been able to try otherwise. Sounds weird, but that was, hands down, the best food we had during the tour! Aside from food commentaries, he also gave us insights about the local culture, and he brought us to a really nice rooftop with amazing views of the city where we had Turkish tea. I highly recommend this food your with Fatih!
