イスタンブール・カディコイプライベートフードツアー(12+地元の味付き)

Serkan was an amazing guide, who provided us with just what we wanted to experience in Istanbul - a food tour led by a knowledgeable local, with running commentary of the food culture, local culture, neighbourhood spots, and just everything else about life in Kadikoy and Istanbul in general. I would highly recommend this tour.

I booked this Secret Food Tour in Istanbul for 2 friends and myself based on online reviews and ratings. The tour did NOT disappoint. From the first interaction with our guide, Jeremy, to the end of the tour, we were “fed” not only delicious food, but also cultural and historical facts. Jeremy took us throughout the Kadikoy neighborhood where we had tastings that exceeded our expectations in terms of quantity and quality. The Menemen, pide, and baklava stand out in my mind as I write this review. We had been in this neighborhood for 4 days but every stop was a new adventure to a place we had not visited. Jeremy explained the history behind the various food selections and made sure we observed the food preparation at several stops. In short, he made each stop not only a place to eat but also a place to learn about how this delicious food is made. In summary, I have only one regret. I wish we had scheduled this tour on day one (instead of our last day) of our stay in Istanbul. We would have been more informed as we made decisions about restaurant and food selections. I highly recommend Secret Food Tours….and ask for Jeremy!

The tour was really good. Jeremy is a great guide with a huge knowledge of local food and customs. He made sure we had a good time, learned about the food we were tasting and provided interesting commentary about the places we visited. We enjoyed every stop and had a very good time.

This was an amazing way to be introduced to Turkish food and see the Asian side of Istanbul! Melis was so kind and knowledgeable not just about food but Turkish history and lore. Can't recommend this experience enough!

Had a great experience on our tour! Melis was very friendly and informative. We enjoyed some delicious food and learned all about traditional Istanbul culinary customs. Melis was also very helpful in recommending other local places and experiences. Highly recommend!

This was such a cool way to explore the Anatolian side of Istanbul! Jeremy took us to places I know we never could have discovered on our own. There was a lovely range from simple to fancy foods/locations, and we learned a lot. Interacting with a friendly local was great. I’ll be trying to recreate these dishes at home until the day we make it back. Thank you Jeremy!!

Really great experience. Lovely food and great guide 👍🏼

Melis was absolutely amazing. She had great knowledge of all the spots we visited and kept me fascinated the whole time. There was plenty of food and drink, so much that I had to take some back to the hotel for dinner, but she was also able to recommend a variety of other spots to try during my visit. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Melis to any friends and family visiting Istanbul. Thank you Melis!!

Melis greeted us with her warm smile and shared with us many stories to accompany our delicious tastings. We discovered a new part of the city( Kadikoy on the Asian side) which is a food and drink destination. Our favourite stop was midway when we sat in the sunshine at a gorgeous wine bar courtyard and tasted wine and Turkish coffee. Melis taught us how to read the coffee grinds and the shared historical and cultural significance of coffee in Turkiye. This tour is a must for everyone who loves tasting local foods, seeing the sights and learning the culture with a local!

Melis provided a fun and informative tour. The food stops were excellent. Her extensive knowledge of the area, the city of Istanbul and Turkish customs in general added a much appreciated layer to our experience. Thank you.
