    Excellent food tour, fabulous guide

    Fatih gave us history of Istanbul and Turkey. We were very comfortable with him. He tailored the tour to what we liked. At the end he made sure we got on the correct tram to go to our hotel. Thank you Fatih

    I ate my way across Istanbul!

    I had the best time with Fatih! He took me to hand-picked local spots on both continents based on his personal experience and my preferences. I loved getting away from the tourist attractions and into the neighborhoods. Fatih was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. From one foodie to another, I highly recommend this tour!

    Great food tour

    We booked this tour on the back of a tour with this company the previous day with Yunus which was fantastic. The food of Asia and Europe tour really appealed ..so we booked it. Our guide was Ozge...she was superb.....really knowledgeable and engaging. Do not eat anything before you go on this tour....there is so much to eat!! We started with a fish sandwich in Karakoy ...then moved over to Asia ..to Kadikoy...yes I know it is quite confusing....very similar names! Over there we had Meze, a type of pizza called Lahmacun....then stuffed mussels, then a type of burger followed by dessert of baclava. Lots of food. Ozge was really friendly and happy to help you with plans ..we were a bit confused about the ferries....she helped us with getting tickets. The vibe on Kadikoy is quite different to the Old Town in Istanbul....and the prices are noticeably cheaper. Out tour coincided with a big win for the local football team....Fenerbahce....it was a bit mad..everyone going crazy and singing. We laughed when Ozge said I'm glad you don't understand what they are singing...it's a bit rude!! Absolutely great experience....very few tourists over in Kadikoy....very much would recommend this tour.

    Istanbul Food Tour

    We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Muhammad on the Small Group Food Tour. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Istanbul, took us to excellent eateries in both Karaköy and Kadıköy, and had a great sense of humor that made my wife and me quickly feel welcomed and enthusiastic about the experience. We would definitely recommend Muhammad as a tour guide and Free Istanbul Tours in general for the experiences it offers.

    From Europe to Asia: Istanbul Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.

    How much does From Europe to Asia: Istanbul Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does From Europe to Asia: Istanbul Food Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.

    Is From Europe to Asia: Istanbul Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Europe to Asia: Istanbul Food Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is From Europe to Asia: Istanbul Food Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From Europe to Asia: Istanbul Food Tour?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Europe to Asia: Istanbul Food Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Istanbul?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Istanbul?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Istanbul?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
