Tastes of Pera in Istanbul Dinner Culinary and History Walking Tour

Our Tastes of Pera in Istanbul Dinner Culinary and History Walking Tour is a dinner-themed historical evening private tour by a local tour guide. It starts at 18:30 and ends at 21:30

Are you prepared to meet your guide to Istanbul’s refined flavours? In Taksim Square, meet our guide in front of the Starbucks adjacent to The Marmara Hotel. No, even though you are in the heart of a coffee-trading nation that dates back to the 17th century in Europe, we do not expect you to sample coffee in a temple frequently visited by young people. Let’s be patient. You will also be offered the traditional one later on. Our culinary adventure commences with the “Wet Burger.” The flavour rivals that of any burger in the world. Try a honey-touched banana milkshake or freshly squeezed lemonade with it. Would you like to sample some authentic Turkish delight? Then, let’s visit Hacbekir Tatlicisi, which has been reassuring its quality since 1777, and sample the most exquisite Turkish sweets and vibrant “Bonbon Turcs.” We will explore the traditional Çiçek (Flower in Turkish) Pasajı and the iconic Nevizade Street in the delightful Beyoğlu district, let’s keep sampling a variety of sidewalk flavours. Explore the unexplored side streets of Pera, Istanbul’s cultural and social heart. It is time to sample kebab wraps at Anthony Bourdain’s favourite Dürümzade. As with every Turk, it is time to assume a genuine Turkish tradition. We will stop at Hazzapoulo Pasaj for authentic Turkish coffee and share the “coffee fortune” tale. Some prominent figures in this nation are as well-known as Barbarella the Fortune Teller. We, like all Turks, have one more experience to undergo. Meyhane offers a traditional pairing of Turkish mezes and Turkish raki (Turkish Meyhanes). Raki is a local alcoholic beverage with a cloud of anise spirit. Mezes are traditional finger-licking delis or super delicious Turkish mezes in this traditional atmosphere. This culture is entirely unique and cannot be found anywhere else in the world! Go ahead and try it with a qualified and professional local guide. You will love this experience.
