What are people saying about Grand Bazaar (Kapali Çarsi)

Turkey
The underground water cistern with its beautiful columns was my favorite part of the tour. Coming from my hotel, I didn’t realize I needed to take a ferry to the meeting point—that was completely my mistake. I arrived about 30 minutes late, but my host was easy to communicate with and went out of their way to meet me after I missed the first stop. I really appreciated their flexibility and excellent customer service.

An absolutely fabulous experience with Aik our guide. He made Istanbul come alive. He was so knowledgeable on the history of Turkey and personable. We highly recommend the Grand Bazaar and Spice Market tour. You won’t be disappointed.

No specific instructions as to where to meet. Only “Galataport” which is huge.
They didn’t tell us where at the part we should meet. It’s a huge port. We waited where the busses pick up but finally we got instructions to meet outside the port.
The guide however was excellent.

Our guide Kim was friendly and informative. We enjoyed the overview of Istanbul. Unfortunately the line to get into the Blue

A wonderful experience
A fantastic experience one we will never forget. Our Guide was fantastic and very informative. It was a little challenging with all the walking would not suggest this for someone with any soreness that managed to make it through the day.

Valuable use of time in Istanbul. Erol was knowledgeable about the city, attractions and overall area and global history. Erol was a great tour guide. We really enjoyed the Basilica Cistern and Blue Mosque with Tombs.

How to get there
When to visit

The Grand Bazaar is a must-visit for history buffs, carpet enthusiasts, and shopaholics.
Don’t be afraid to haggle; it’s expected.
Wear comfortable shoes—you will be on your feet as you explore the vast market.
Be prepared to take your time. The Grand Bazaar is large and it’s easy to get lost.
The bazaar is accessible to wheelchair users, though there is a 4-inch (10-centimeter) drop at most entrances and some lanes are quite narrow.
