Experience Food tours in the best of
Istanbul with Withlocals

"Had a terrific time with Alp. Meet-up was super easy (we Whatsapped with him to confirm details) and the experience itself was terrific. Any topic you'd want to discuss -- history, music scene, food scene -- Alp has got you covered. Great to spend three hours getting to know a vast and ancient city through the eyes of a thoughtful local who loves living here. Will be recommending him specifically to our friends who will venture here in the future! Don't be shy about reaching out with custom requests or specific things you'd like to try! "

"Muhammad was the tour guide extraordinaire with his mixture of local food knowledge and locations alongside sharing the history of Istanbul and the food tour district. We ate delicious food from local vendors most visitors would walk past. Muhammad shred his knowledge of the food ingredients and how it was cooked. We Always had plenty of time and food at each location plus he provided details of where else we might eat or shop later in our stay. We all highly recommend Muhammad and his food tour. "

"Ugur knew all of the local spots to eat. He was extremely welcoming and friendly and accommodating to our appetites and needs. This is a must do tour if you like to eat delicious food"

"I really enjoyed the tour with Muhammed. We had been in Istanbul for several days so we were familiar with the traditional food. Muhammed took us to restaurants that are popular with the locals that we would have missed. The food was delicious and he designed the tour with a lot of variety. Thanks, Mohammed!!"

"Emre was engaging and informative . Very educated and knowledgeable gentleman with firsthand knowledge of this amazing city. He went over and above to make sure we had the best immersive experience with the local vendors. We would highly recommend him to our friends 😀"

"The 10 Tastings Tour was an excellent introduction to Istanbul and Turkish food and drink specialities and excellent value for money - don’t eat anything before you go, there is so much to try! Gulce was the perfect guide - so friendly and knowledgeable - and answered all of our questions about food and so much more. She gave us recommendations on where to go during our stay, as well as what to avoid. We would thoroughly recommend her, whatever tour you are choosing. "
