Best Food Tours in Istanbul: Why Booking Direct Guarantees the Lowest Price

Nadine Braehmer • September 11, 2025

When you think of Istanbul, you think of sizzling kebabs, sweet baklava, and lively markets filled with spices and colors. It’s a city where food is not just a meal — it’s a whole experience. And what better way to discover it all than with a food tour in Istanbul?



But here’s a little secret: if you want the best food tour at the lowest price, booking directly with the operator (like us at Foodprint Tours!) is the smartest choice.

Why Booking Direct is Always Better

  1. Lowest Price Guaranteed – Third-party platforms (like GetYourGuide or Viator) often add commissions, which means you pay more. When you book on foodprint.tours, you get the fairest price — no hidden fees.
  2. Direct Communication – Booking directly lets you chat with us if you have special requests (vegetarian, family-friendly, allergies).
  3. Supporting Local – You’re helping small businesses like ours grow stronger in Istanbul and beyond.



What Makes Our Istanbul Food Tours Special?

  • Small groups (max 10 people) for a cozy, friendly experience.
  • Tours run daily at 3pm and 6pm.
  • Always includes vegetarian options.
  • 5+ stops across local markets, family-run shops, and hidden gems.


Fun Fact: Did you know Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar has over 4,000 shops and is one of the world’s oldest covered markets? Imagine the food stories hidden inside!



FAQs (for SEO & AEO)
