Mustafa was an amazing guide. He took me all over the Bazaar and found me some good deals.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time at the Grand Bazaar with Mustafa. One of the best parts of shopping in such a historic and vibrant marketplace is discovering authentic products and good value, and we're glad he was able to help you do exactly that. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Istanbul for more memorable experiences in the future. Best regards,
Felt ambushed. Signed up for a bazaar tour and got a carpet hustle instead. Spent an hour listening to a guy try to sell us a carpet instead of exploring the bazaar. NOT what I signed up for!
Dear Robert ; Thank you for your feedback. While we genuinely regret that your experience did not meet expectations, we feel it is important to clarify a few key points for transparency. Before your tour, we reached out to understand your shopping interests, and your response was “Everything sounds interesting!”. Based on this, your experience was customized to reflect a broad introduction to the Grand Bazaar, including traditional crafts such as carpets, which are an essential part of Turkish culture and commerce. At the beginning of the tour, you informed your guide that you had only one hour available due to another appointment. Given this limited time, it was not possible to fully explore the Grand Bazaar, which typically requires several hours. Therefore, the guide structured the experience accordingly, focusing on a single in-depth stop rather than rushing through multiple locations without context. We would also like to clarify that: There is no obligation to purchase anything during the tour Our experiences are designed around cultural introduction, not sales pressure At the same time, we take all feedback seriously. Although this tour has consistently received positive feedback from many other guests, we will review this case internally with our guide to ensure that the balance between explanation and exploration is always maintained. We also offered a refund as a gesture of goodwill, even though the service was delivered as described. We understand that this may not change your experience, but it reflects our commitment to guest satisfaction. We regret that we could not meet your expectations on this occasion and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Kind regards,
We wanted to have some friend while visit Grand Bazaar and we found Sunny Travel and met with Mustafa. He was so nice to us. We enjoyed our day with him. Thank you.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time in Istanbul in the care of Mustafa and his team. My daughter went for half day tour the day before. On Friday I wanted to buy a rug for my home office and when I asked for a recommendation Mustafa himself came to help with the shopping and there was no pressure whatsoever. He just guided me to whatever shops based on I want to get. I also got nice chess board and turkish delight. I definitely recommend Sunny Travel. I didnt know them before but they are the one picked by Marriott Bonvoy Experience as I booked through them for the half day tour. The shopping trip was just a favor from Mustafa who also let used his office to leave our shopping bags when we still do sightseeing. Totally recommend them - his guide and his driver team are also great. I definitely will book through them the next time for our Cappadocia trip. Thanks Mustafa and team!
We’re truly honored to have been part of your Istanbul experience and to know that both you and your daughter had such a memorable time with Mustafa and our team.

Helping you find the perfect rug, along with other unique items like the chess board and Turkish delight, is exactly the kind of personalized and pressure-free service we aim to provide. Istanbul shopping should feel enjoyable, not rushed—and we’re glad Mustafa could guide you accordingly. We also really appreciate your kind mention of our guides and drivers, as well as your trust in booking through Marriott Bonvoy Experiences. It means a lot to us to be recognized through such a respected platform. Your words about using our office and the extra care shown truly reflect the spirit of how we like to host our guests—as friends, not just travelers. We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you again, especially for your next trip to Cappadocia. 🇹🇷✨ Warm regards,
Our tour guide Mustafa was incredible! The tour was highly flexible - he even met with us outside of his usual hours since our cruise ship docked later in the afternoon. He asked us what we were interested in beforehand and catered the tour around those things. He was willing to stay out as late as we wanted him to and even helped us set up transit cards and gave us directions throughout the city. Most importantly, he was super nice and welcoming - it felt more like a hangout than a tour. Highly recommend. The price and the experience can’t be beat!
The shopping tour was truly delightful. We had a wonderful time and visited many beautiful places. Everywhere we went, we were kindly offered tea and coffee, and there was absolutely no pressure to buy anything. In addition, we had the chance to visit landmarks around the Grand Bazaar such as Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. It was a very interesting and unforgettable experience for us. We also took photos, and our day turned out to be fantastic. Many thanks to Mustafa for making this possible.
Mustafa was great! He took me to a variety of different shops & was even kind enough to take pictures. Very easy to talk to, felt as if we were already friends;). You need to book this tour!
