One of the best way to discover the local cuisine.
My partner and I took an food tour on both sides of the Bosphorus and we loved it so much. Had chance to try food in both continents and the food we were having was kind of like dishes that we wouldn't never had by ourselves in the city. All was amazing, tasty food, desserts and drinks we had was more than enough. Highly recommend guys!

Booked for food tour on two continents and loved it. The guide took us to the Asin side by ferry and visited food market and we tasted several dishes there and took the ferry back to the Eurpean side to have more dishes and all we tried were just great. We were happy that we took the food tour so this was an great experince to try local dishes that we would not have found by ourselves. Very higly recommended for the one who like to try local dishes. Had more than enough food, drinks and dessert with ice cream.

Wonderful food tour around city
We had a wonderful food adventure on this tour truly the highlight of our time in Istanbul. If you love food, beverages and want to experience both sides of the city, this is something you must do while you're in the city. Our host, Emir , was fantastic. He shared rich historical insights and guided us to incredible spots where we tasted a huge variety of dishes in both sides of the Bosporus in Istanbul. We spent about 5 hours on this lovely food tour and we enjoyed every minutes. From beginning to end of the tour and we ended the tour with having great dessert and some Turkish coffee.

One of the best food tour ever
Our food tour in the old city was fabulous and we took the other food tour on Two continents as well. Food tour on both sides of the Bosporus was one of the highlights of our time in Istanbul. Cruising along the beautiful Bosphorus while stopping to taste authentic Turkish food was an unforgettable experience. We visited local eateries and hidden gems, enjoying a wonderful variety of traditional dishes, fresh mussels, Turkish pizza,fish wrap, Kokoreç (lamb intentines), and more delicious street food, and sweet treats. The ferry ride offered breathtaking views of the city's skyline, historic palaces, and waterfront neighborhoods, making the journey just as memorable as the food. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, sharing fascinating stories about Istanbul's history, culture, and culinary traditions throughout the tour. This experience was the perfect combination of sightseeing and authentic local cuisine. We discovered places we would never have found on our own and left with a much deeper appreciation of Istanbul's food culture. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and delicious way to experience the Bosphorus and the city.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Taste of İstanbul Food Tour on Two Continents: in Europe & Asia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Taste of İstanbul Food Tour on Two Continents: in Europe & Asia cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Taste of İstanbul Food Tour on Two Continents: in Europe & Asia take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Taste of İstanbul Food Tour on Two Continents: in Europe & Asia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 80 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 Taste of İstanbul Food Tour on Two Continents: in Europe & Asia?
+
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 Taste of İstanbul Food Tour on Two Continents: in Europe & Asia suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Taste of İstanbul Food Tour on Two Continents: in Europe & Asia?
+
Around 28 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Taste of İstanbul Food Tour on Two Continents: in Europe & Asia 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.
