Fantastic way to view the city and landmarks while food tasting. Get your snickers ready as you are in for a good walk while burning the calories you packed on while food tasting.

A delightful and personal experience tasting a variety of foods around the city (Spice Bazaar to Taksim Square). Be prepared to walk! I did get a break from the hill up to and down from Taksim Square by taking the trolley, etc. which added to my introduction to Istanbul.
