Istanbul

Learn and experience Turkish culture through taste by stepping off the main tourist trail and going on a dining tour at night with family, friends, and fellow travelers! You'll be accompanied by an English-speaking guide, who will tell you the importance of the delicacies that you will munch, what makes them unique, and how they are representative of Turkish culture. You will first enter a Simit bakery, where you will get to munch on the scrumptious delight known as the Simit bread roll that comes along with fresh grapes and seeds. You will get to chase down that wonderful bread roll with aromatic Turkish coffee and tea by visiting a Kiraathane. After that, you will learn how to charcoal grill kebabs in an Ocakbasi. To cap off this gastronomic adventure, you will go inside a Meyhane, a Turkish bar where you can get a taste of Turkish alcoholic beverages and dance to traditional Turkish music performed live by master musicians.
