Bazaars’
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.

Kim was the best guide we have had during our European travels over the last 2 and a half months
Really worth doing during our time in Istanbul, Kim is such a knowledgeable and well informed guide, she was caring and flexible, showed us places we wouldn't have found on our own

Our guide Kim was friendly and informative. We enjoyed the overview of Istanbul. Unfortunately the line to get into the Blue
Mosque was so long that we opted out….next time. I highly recommend this highlights tour.

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.

Amazing Cultural Shopping Experience
A wonderful intro to Turkish customs with excellent choices and suggestions for shopping.
Ike made the Grand Bazaar a relaxing experience.

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.

Great tour but stop the hotel tours and shopping stops.
Tours through high end hotels and ceramic shop were not appreciated or what we were looking for. If we wanted to shop we would do a shopping tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and great - apart from the above. We want sightseeing not being pushed into buying. Expensive Local products. That would include carpets.

Ways to explore
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.
