Great intro to bazaars

karen_r, Jul 2025

Nice leisurely way to spend our first day in Istanbul. Enjoyed the Egyptian bazaar and local restaurant with Eren

Look no further for the perfect guide!

Cari_N, Jul 2025

Eren was a fabulous guide! He individualized the tour to our wants and needs. The pace was also perfect for our needs. We weren’t rushed, and had ample time to visit all of the shops that we wanted to. Eren took us to hidden shops, cleaner restrooms, helped us navigate public transportation and assisted with our price negotiations, all while educating us on the beautiful city of Istanbul.
