Istanbul Evening Sightseeing and Food Tasting Tour

Your epicurean experience begins with convenient pickup at your Istanbul accommodation. From there, travel to Taksim Square—a modern space, dominated by the 1928 Monument of the Republic, that buzzes with crowds heading to its high-end hotels, bars, and restaurants.

Begin your culinary journey by learning to make and sampling cig kofte, (a combination of bulgar, mint, parsley, spices, and raw beef). Treat your taste buds to other dishes like icli kofte, in which meat, spices, and nuts are enclosed in pastry and either steamed or fried, and then stop at a kebab house to devour a slow-roasted lamb kebab. 

Sate your sweet tooth with a crunchy Turkish baklava at a local dessert shop before concluding your tour with drop-off at your Istanbul accommodation.

Enjoy a culinary journey through the city of Istanbul on this 4-hour tour. Spend the evening going to four local eateries to sample such classics as Cig Kofte, Icli Kofte, Cag Kebab, and Turkish baklava. Learn how to prepare these Turkish delicacies and see the city at night with an English-speaking guide.
