Verborgen Beyoğlu-tour
Beschrijving
Beginnend met een selectie specialiteiten in de tijdloze wijk Lokanta, bezoeken we een augurkenmaker en andere ambachtslieden. Terwijl we ons een weg banen door de sfeervolle zijstraten van de wijk, zullen er specialiteiten uit het hele land te vinden zijn, variërend van het uiterste noordoosten tot de Zwarte Zee. Zee naar de aparte keuken van Hatay in het zuidoosten. We bezoeken een verborgen Armeense kerk in een bruisende vismarkt tussen de proeverijen bij straatverkopers, visverkopers en grillrestaurants, en ten slotte trakteren we onszelf op de beste Turkse koffie in de stad. Afhankelijk van de dag en wat de wandeling tegenkomt, zullen er onderweg nog verschillende andere culinaire verrassingen zijn tijdens deze foodtour in Istanbul, die allemaal het fascinerende verhaal vertellen van wat misschien wel de meest iconische wijk van de stad is.

Such an enjoyable food tour with Duygu. A great variety of delicious food is consumed on the tour and she was so friendly and knowledgable. It's also a great way of finding areas you'd like to go back to visit. Recommended!

The Hidden Beygolu tour with Defne was a fantastic experience and one of the highlights of my time in Istanbul. It was the perfect way to learn about the city's food culture, history, and everyday life through a local perspective. Defne is a wonderful guide—warm, friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable with great rapport with the local community. She shared fascinating stories about Istanbul's culinary traditions and the neighborhood we explored, making every stop meaningful and engaging. The food was excellent, but what really made the tour special was the insight into local life and culture that Defne provided. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul who wants to experience authentic food, discover hidden gems, and gain a deeper understanding of the city.

We really enjoyed this tour. The neighborhood was very cool with lots of shops and cafes. The stops we made were spectacular -- appetizers, beers, drinks, bakery, kebabs, pickles, manti -- we tried it all and it was all great. Our guide, Esin, was excellent. Highly recommend!
Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful experience! We are so glad you enjoyed discovering the spectacular family-run spots and traditional flavors of the neighborhood. Your support means the world to us and to the unsung culinary heroes working hard to preserve their craft.
I had the best time on this food tour. We visited spots I'd never have known about or think to go to. We tried a range of local dishes and got great history and context from our fantastic guide. Keeping to a small group meant a relaxed vibe and more chance to ask questions. It also meant our guide could flex when we passed a place serving sheeps head (!) that wasn't part of the tour and asked if we wanted to try it (two of us did - reader it was delicious!). We went to 8 stops - arrive hungry - there's plenty to try!

Katarina was a wonderful culinary tour guide for our evening in Beyoglu. She encouraged us to explore all types of food and drink and provided us with exceptional experiences that only a local would uncover. Her appreciation for her home city and its history and food culture was exceptional.

My wife Emma and I had an incredible time on our Culinary Backstreets tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul. A special mention goes to our guide, Duygu, who was excellent throughout. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and approachable, and made the experience x10 more enjoyable. Her passion for the city, its food and its culture was clear. The tour offered a great variety of food, with each stop accompanied by interesting explanations about the dishes and their cultural significance. It was much more than a food tour, it was a great way to explore the city, learn about its history, and experience neighbourhoods we might not otherwise have discovered. Overall, a brilliant experience and one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you, Duygu, and the Culinary Backstreets team!
