About

Hey! I'm a local Istanbulite and I'd love to take a few of you on a food tasting walk through Tünel, Galata, and Karaköy. We'll try Turkish coffee at a well-loved local spot, roasted chestnuts and chickpeas from a street vendor, simit and tea, maybe some stuffed mussels along the way, a proper fish sandwich by the Karaköy waterfront, and finish things off with baklava or künefe. This isn't a sit-down restaurant tour — it's a tasting-format walk built around small, authentic stops that locals actually eat at, mixed in with the stories and history of each neighborhood we pass through. Free to join — I'm doing this to get more guiding experience and share the food culture I love. Small group (max 4-5 people) so it stays relaxed. Tips are always appreciated but never expected.
