An Amazing Grand Bazaar Experience with Gokay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Exploring Istanbul’s famous Grand Bazaar can be overwhelming, with its endless maze of shops and incredible variety of merchandise. Thankfully, we had Gokay as our guide, and he was absolutely fantastic!
Gokay was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and experienced in navigating the enormous bazaar. We would have definitely gotten lost without him! What made the experience even better was how he tailored our shopping tour to our specific interests and needs, making sure we visited the right shops without wasting time.
As an added bonus, we enjoyed a wonderful lunch at one of the local restaurants, a true hidden gem that we probably would have never discovered on our own!
Thanks to Gokay, what could have been an overwhelming shopping experience turned into a fun, relaxed, and memorable adventure.
Highly recommended! If you're planning to visit the Grand Bazaar, having Gokay as your guide is absolutely worth it!

Hodjapasha Whirling Dervishes
Fascinating and highly skilled , quite mesmerising. Not the easiest place to find, it’s down a lane off the main Ankara CD, near Sirkeci metro. On foot it is down a very steep hill . When you enter you go up a stair ( steep and narrow) to a museum area with historical explanations on the wall. Once called, the audience takes seats in circular performance room ( nice historic dome ) . Performance is in complete silence except for the music ( live instrumental group) . Group does a good number of whirling routines and associated rituals.

Had an amazing time on this bar crawl! The atmosphere was fun and energetic. The hosts were friendly, organized, and made sure everyone felt included, which made it easy to meet new people. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience the nightlife and have a memorable night out in Istanbul!

Must-see experience
If you are in Istanbul, the Whirling Dervishes ceremony is something you MUST definitely experience. From the time of booking this, the experience had been wonderful. The venue was great, nice ambience and the performance was mesmerizing.
We arrived 20 minutes ahead of time, and got pretty good seats…it’s a small place and 3 rows of seats, so the view is good from anywhere. But, if you want prime seats up front, do arrive early.
The host welcomed us, showed us to our seats, and generally did a great job at managing the arrivals and getting them seated.
I went with my kids…and this was a new experience for them. Do take the time to go through the audioguide and get some more info about the Sufi especially the Mevlevi tradition…it will make the experience all the more better.
