Wonderful experience with an excellent guide

Grace_P, Oct 2025

This tour is excellent in that you are shown the key highlights of the Grand Bazaar, including hidden caravanserai, where you can sit overlooking some amazing views. Ozgur picked us up at our hotel in the morning, and we enjoyed his excellent guiding until mid afternoon. We covered a lot of ground, but also felt relaxed, as we made some quick stops for coffee, baklava, homemade lemonade at the caravanserai and a quick bite for lunch. We even saw the rooftop where the famous James Bond opening scene was shot. The Grand Bazaar is huge and so easy to get lost and frustrated. We would not have experienced 10% of what we did on our own. Ozgur even helped us to change money and book a discounted hammam. Recommend this tour highly it is the best way to navigate this area and learn the history, while enjoying local culture. Would definitely book again.

Ozgur…our grand bazaar VIP tour guide

Ernie_W, Oct 2024

Touring with Ozgur, was a once in a lifetime experience. His knowledge was incredible; he knew all the short cuts, all the best vendors, and fascinating stories at every turn. Ozgur was definitely a VIP, therefore, we were treated like VIPs. We now consider him a friend for life.
