Istanbul Night Food Tour with Traditional Meyhane Experience

Your private guide meets you at your hotel at the time you choose, and you set off to discover Istanbul through its street food and its local ways of getting around.

You start at Taksim Square and walk down Istiklal Avenue, trying a few small, authentic street bites as you soak up the atmosphere. Then you continue to Nevizade, famous for its traditional meyhanes and nightlife, for a short stop and light tastings in the heart of Istanbul's social dining culture.

You ride down to Karakoy on the historic Tunel, the second oldest underground railway in Europe. In Karakoy, one of the city's trendiest districts, you taste a few local flavours at hidden spots that mix traditional and modern food culture.

Next, a scenic ferry ride across the Bosphorus takes you to Kadikoy, one of the most familiar daily journeys for Istanbul locals. You explore its busy streets and food scene before settling into a traditional meyhane.

Here you enjoy a glass of raki with a selection of Turkish meze while your guide explains the basics of raki and meze culture.

You then walk on to Moda, a charming seaside neighbourhood known for its relaxed local lifestyle.

Finally, you return to the European side on the Marmaray, the modern undersea railway that links two continents, and you are taken back to your hotel.
