Another Fantastic Culinary Backstreets Tour - Great food, great guide and a really wonderful tour. I learned a lot about Turkish food and Beyoğlu. I have been on many Culinary Backstreets tours and I am never disappointed. Very highly recommended.

Food tour Istanbul - I'd never done a food tour before. I liked the way Esrin knew a lot of local people the area and introduced us to lots of different foods. She was also very knowledgeable about the geography and history of Istanbul

Best Food Tour - Second time booking directly with Culinary Backstreets and couldn’t recommend more. Well worth the price. You’ll come away full of amazing food and with a new appreciation of Istanbul’s hidden gems.

Incredible experience with variety and depth! - Absolutely incredible tour - so much knowledge, ample delicious food, and little breaks in between to digest while walking. There was exceptional variety and options to cater for the vegetarian in the group. Highly HIGHLY recommend!

An essential activity - This culinary tour was one of the highlights of our stay in Istanbul. We even regretted not choosing one of the longer visits. If we had more time, we might have made a second visit. It was essential to better understand the city and culinary habits. Not to be missed!

Great evening experience - We had a great experience not just tasting the food but also getting a feel for the neighborhood! Esin took us to places we never would have found or tried ourselves- like a pickle store and a hotel rooftop bar with excellent views over the city. I really liked how small the group was compared to other tours I’ve done. (Also the possibility of doing a night time tour is great! We fit in a whole day of sight seeing beforehand and didn’t have to use a whole day for the tour.) Will definitely do another Culinary Backstreets tour if we come back to Istanbul in the future.

An evening of discovery - This was a great evening of culture and history as well as food. We ate in a variety of places which we would never have found on our own. I also loved seeing all the crowds ( locals, not tourists) in all the bars and restaurants we passed.I would really recommend doing this tour.

Unbidden Beyoğlu - Our guide was Esin. She did an exceptional job of leading us through the back streets to experience some of her favorite places for a fantastic experience of different food and drinks. It was well paced so that you had enough room on your stomach for the next experience.
