Great tasting experience on the Anatolian side of Istanbul
It’s a lovely way to learn about local foods with some history thrown in. Not the easiest is you are a bit wobbly on your feet. We were lucky and had a very nice guide.
Response from the operator: Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's always nice to know guests leave with great memories and new favorites. We hope Secret Food Tours is part of your next trip.

Incredible introduction to Turkish food and more
An amazing way to get an introduction to Turkish food and experience the Asian side of Istanbul! Melis was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, not just about food but also fascinating information about Turkish tradition and folklore. The food was incredible at every stop and included a picturesque restaurant that felt like a secret garden where we enjoyed our first Turkish coffee and local wine. Don't miss this tour!
Response from the operator: Our thanks for sharing your experience! We're happy that your time with us gave you plenty of moments to remember. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again soon.

Best tour in Turkey
Jeremy was the best tour guide we've had in Turkey so far! His English was excellent, making it easy to understand the rich history and culture of each place we visited. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and happy to answer all of our questions. The food selections were outstanding and gave us a wonderful taste of authentic Turkish cuisine. Jeremy made the entire experience enjoyable, informative, and memorable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional tour in Turkey!
Response from the operator: It's great to know you had such a good time with us. We're glad so many parts of the experience stood out to you along the way. We hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again soon!

Melis was great! Her rec’s for outside of the tour for shopping were spot on too! Great way if you want to get a sample of local foods and exercise at the same time ;-)
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. It is always meaningful to hear when a guest feels their time with us added something worthwhile to their visit. We appreciate your support of Secret Food Tours!

Istanbul Kadikoy Food Tour with 12+ Local Delicacies Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Istanbul Kadikoy Food Tour with 12+ Local Delicacies Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $73 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 Istanbul Kadikoy Food Tour with 12+ Local Delicacies Tastings 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 Istanbul Kadikoy Food Tour with 12+ Local Delicacies Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 258 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 Istanbul Kadikoy Food Tour with 12+ Local Delicacies Tastings?
+
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 Istanbul Kadikoy Food Tour with 12+ Local Delicacies Tastings 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 Istanbul Kadikoy Food Tour with 12+ Local Delicacies Tastings?
+
Around 90 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 Istanbul Kadikoy Food Tour with 12+ Local Delicacies Tastings 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.
