On our Grand Bazaar food tour, we’ll start the day with a full breakfast celebrating the best of the dairy highlands in Eastern Anatolia, followed by an unusual wedding soup from Konya. Then we’ll make our way through the garment district to a cluster of Ottoman-era hans (traders’ inns), home to a guild of traditional craftsmen in their tiny workshops. There we will have an unforgettable, freshly baked pide before grazing our way in, out and around the Grand Bazaar, taking in a perfect kebab, a bite of Edirne-style liver, and a spread of seasonal, vegetarian mezes. We will drink tea and Turkish coffee in out-of-the-way places, while the sweet notes on this route begin with kadayıf, an Arabian-influenced love letter from the southern Turkish city of Gaziantep, and end with a delicious milk-soaked cake that made its way from Albania to the Istanbul. It’s Istanbul’s Bazaar Quarter as it’s never been seen — or tasted — before.

Excellent experience. Wonderful guide, really fun day. Totally worth it. I speak Turkish, but was unfamiliar with the old city - which can be a bit challenging and potentially scam-filed. As a woman traveling alone, this was a fun and safe option for me.

We loved our tour with Esin. She was very interesting and personable- sharing a lot of insider details. Not only did she take us to lots of yummy vendors / she also shared with us her relationships with a lot of the workers and artisans of the bazaar- and we felt like we got to meet people and partake in a very authentic part in the life of Istanbul that we never would have on our own. Her English is also excellent and I was able to ask a lot of questions which she was well-informed on. Very worthwhile experience.

Benoit was an exceptional character and long time resident. He passed on the history and traditions of Old Istanbul while guiding us through backstreets, sampling so many amazing food options. Our tour began at 9.30am and ended with Benoit putting us in a tram back to our hotels.
