Privat guidad basartur i Istanbul
Beskrivning
Istanbul är en fantastisk stad för shoppingälskare. Du kan hitta allt från traditionella basarer och marknader till moderna gallerior och designerbutiker. Låt oss utforska den verkliga konsten och hantverket bort från turistfällor och koppla tillbaka relationer i Istanbul. Denna turné introducerar turkisk konst och hantverk än shopping. Vi betalar typ dricks till butiksinnehavare för att ge bra information och ta emot oss i butikerna. Därför behöver Mina gäster inte känna efter för att köpa prylar från butiken. Under de kommande dagarna, när du kommer ensam, kommer denna vackra Grand Bazaar inte att vara överväldigande för dem. Syftet med denna turné navigerar mina gäster som en lokal och låter dem känna sig trygga att handla i Istanbul. Vi är personligen bekanta med dussintals Istanbul-butiker och butiksinnehavare, som gärna ger oss no-nonsense priser för pengarna. Du betalar endast avgiften för den privata rundturen, så vi kommer att arbeta för din räkning, inte för en provision på försäljningen.

Resplan
Vi börjar besöka konst med kvartsplattor. Vi ser keramik i hela världen som Marocko, Mexiko, Egypten, Iran. All denna keramik gjordes av lera. Men turkiska plattor du ser i Topkapı-palatset, Blå moskén och andra osmanska byggnader är kvartsplattor. Istället för lera hade dessa plattor gjorts av kvarts. Det gör dem speciella och mest hållbara. Vi får tillräckligt med information för kakel.
Grand Bazaar är en av de äldsta och största täckta marknaderna i världen, med 67 gator och över 4 000 butiker som säljer handvävda mattor, smycken, keramik, kvartsplattor, kryddor, souvenirer och mer. Vi stannar till i speciella hantverksbutiker för att få bra information om turkiska mattor, finaste smycken, läderjackor och lädervaror, kalligrafi, kakel. Först och främst går vi till bakgator där bara lokalbefolkningen går. Gå runt på gatorna för att förstå shoppingstilen och se butikerna där.
Vi börjar med turkiska smycken till vår konsttur i den stora basaren och besöker små smyckesverkstäder. Sedan 1400-talet har den finaste smyckekonsten gjorts och sålts i dessa små verkstäder. Till och med en smyckedesigner från Grand Bazaar har blivit prisad som världens bästa smyckesdesigner.
Vi besöker den äldsta delen av Grand Bazaar för att besöka en gammal mattaffär som säljer turkiska originalmattor. Denna familj har drivit denna verksamhet sedan 1700-talet. Vi kan få bra information om turkiska mattor där och troligen inte tid för shopping. Vår gäst kan komma tillbaka säkert för att handla själv.
Vi förstår läderaffärer i Grand Bazaar. vi besöker några läderjackabutiker och läderväskor i olika kvalitet. Lädergarvning är det äldsta jobben för turkar från Centralasien. Så det är värt att se dem som ett konstföretag.
Vi har lunchpaus i lokal restaurang i Kadıköy för att smaka på utsökt lokal mat här.
Egyptian Spice Market, även känd som den egyptiska basaren, detta är ett paradis för kryddälskare. Du kan hitta hundratals sorters kryddor, örter, nötter, torkad frukt, te och godis. Du kan också köpa turkisk delight, baklava, ost, honung och andra lokala delikatesser
Kadıkoy Market är en stor och färgstark basar som säljer en mängd olika varor, såsom färsk frukt, grönsaker, kryddor, nötter, ost, fisk, kött, blommor och mer. Du kan också hitta kläder, accessoarer, böcker, antikviteter och souvenirer. Detta är en enorm utomhusmarknad som sträcker sig från Kadıkoy Carsisi till de närliggande gatorna och erbjuder ännu fler produkter.
Vi tar den allmänna färjan för att gå till Kadıkoy som ligger på den asiatiska sidan av Istanbul.

We had a fantastic day in Istanbul with Zerrin. She is very knowledgeable and professional. Would highly recommend her for your private tour of Istanbul.
Thank you very much for nice review regarding my guidance. Grand Bazaar tour is very important and precious tour to keep our guests from scams, tricks away. And introducing culture in a best and true style. Thank you again...
This was an exceptional experience and perfect way to experience the Bazaar. Zerrin was a fantastic tour guide who caters the tour to your liking. She is very knowledgeable about the Bazaar and town as a whole and takes you to some very unique places. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to visit the Bazaar in Istanbul.
Dear Mel and Eric; thank you very much for nice review regarding my guidance. I could have a chance to introduce Turkish art and hand craft in non commercial side. Unfortunately, Our culture is getting lost and cheap in mass tourism. I am so glad you loved the tour. Best Regards
What a tour. If love art and history, you’ve found the perfect tour! Zerrin is very professional, genuine and knowledgeable about Turkish history. It’s nice to go to bazaar, not just to shop but to appreciate the history behind it. She took us to many local artists’ shops, antique shops… We had such a wonderful time. I’d recommend her to all of my friends.
Our family booked two-day private Istanbul tour with Zerrin, and has just finished the first half of it. Zerrin is a very ethical and reliable professional guide and highly recommend ! Although Trip Advisor listed her Grand Bazaar Tour and Highlights of Istanbul Tour separately, she is totally flexible and tailor-made our tour to best fit our needs. She even made a special arrangement to make our two-day tour into two-and-half day tour when she found out one of my daughters became physically too tired to continue the first day tour. How kind and considerate ! So, on the first day, we only went to Ayasofya and Grand Bazaar. Just as expected, Ayasofya was very crowded, however, as Zerrin pre-purchased the admission tickets for us, we were able to skip the long que, smoothly enter the World Heritage and admire it's beauty. As to Grand Bazaar Tour, with Zerrin, it is not an ordinary souvenir shopping tour. Since she is a historian with indepth knowledge, she not only took us to reliable shops for shopping, but also introduced Grand Bazaar from cultural and artistic aspects, making our visit meaningful and memorable. Fending off vulture-llike vendors, she navigated us to precious antique shops and one-in-the-world craft shops, making us notice the hidden value and beauty of the historical market. Thank you, Zerrin ! We can't wait for the second round of the tour with you :)
We had a wonderful visit to the Istanbul Grand Bazaar with Zerrin! She made sure we could see the best of it, taking us to the different shops there are, always making sure that we feel comfortable and one thing we loved about her is that she took us to many shops without the pressure or mandate to buy stuff or anything, she was mainly focused on showing us to trust Turkish shops and to explore the diversity in such great Bazaar! Lots of shops in there, you can find basically anything you can imagine. So worth visiting with her, she knows the best places in there!
We were in Istambul in 2016 with touring with Zerrin. She took us to the Grand Bazaar October 2023 and it was as great as it was back then. Zerrin knows all the little nooks and the old world sites within the Grand Bazaar. It’s so unfortunate when money buys the front isles and the shops at the entrances. We were fortunate that Zerrin knows this area so completely. She took us to see Sisko Osman Carpets. This is the kind of place you would like to see in the Grand Bazaar. Out-of-the-way, up and around the corner, behind this and over that. This family has run the carpet company for many, many years and are very ethical. We bought beautiful rug. That’s what I like about Zerrin. She knows who to shop with and why it matters. The reason we went to the carpet shop is because we asked to go back where we had been in 2016. She also took us to shops selling items we were interested in checking out. Since we had been in the Grand Bazaar with her previously, it was great to have Zerrin again. She took his place we had never been before, and returned to shops she recommended the first time we visited. Thank you Zerrin for helping us get around the Grand Bazaar when we had so little time in Istambul.
At the beginning,I wasn’t sure to hire a tour guide to visit Grand Bazaar. It was my second tour with Zerrin. When l asked her where to go in Grand Bazaar, she asked me to do first visit to Grand Bazaar with a tour guide. Tour Guide Zerrin is the best to understand Grand Bazaar. All hidden artisan stores in back streets are worth visiting and it was impossible tonfind non touristic cultural stores without Zerrin. It was fabulous day Zerrin. Thank you.
Excellent fun visit in Grand bazaar with Zerrin! Zerrin took us to many cool stores and we met many wonderful people at the stores. She was a long time, good friend of the shop owners and they treated each other respectfully and kindly, which was so nice to see! We visited places for lamps, tile arts, rugs, etc. etc. She also took us to the spice bazaar which we spent lots of time. Great tea and Turkish delights! We had really fun time!
Grand Bazaar is very important place to visit. It was the place where some beautiful pieces of Topkapı Palace treasury had been made. It is tought as a touristic place which is true. But Tam so glad I could have a chance to show back streets of Grand Bazaar. Thank you very much for nice review. Best Regards...
After booking the 2 days private tour with Zerrin, She suggested to visit Bazaars with a guide before shopping there. We were planning to do it by our selves.But It was really good idea to step in to Grand Bazaar with someone who knows the streets well. We were thinking just to walk around in the streets. There are too many similar stores next to eachother and everyone invites you to their own store. After 15 minutes, we would be thinking just to go out. In next day we started day with Zerrin. She navigated us in shopping style and showed all real artist’s galleries in back streets of Grand Bazaar. We didn’t understand how the time running fast. Here, you can find unique Turkish products and souvenirs like spices, ceramic plates, ornamental lamps, rugs, and many other items. Zerryn is very knowladgable about history of tiles, rugs. Jewellry. We visited small jewellry workshops met with man who has been designing jewelry for59 years. We visited a rug store and had got really good information about the details of rugs. Thank you Zerrin. We were thinking, Grand Bazaar was only place where you can find touristic goods and bargaining place. We were totally wrong. Understood that Grand Bazaar is the hearth of art and craft. We recommend Tour Guide Zerrin. She is very knowledgeable about the history, culture, and food of Istanbul and can tailor the tour to your interests and needs.
Thank you for nice review. It was my pleasure guiding you in Grand Bazaar. Best Regards
We had a wonderful time with Zerrin. Would have been completely lost without her there. We couldn't have done it without her there. The place we ate was yummy and true Turkish food. We visited a rug store and we were treated there with a tea and had a very nice conversation with the owner. They have been doing rugs for generations. It's a family business and they carry it with a lot of pride. She showed us all of the best locations to find non-touristy goods and we even got to witness how they fashion together the jewelry for one of the stores.
Dear Olena, Thank you very much for nice review regarding my guidance service. The historical art in Grand Bazaar is as much as imporant other highlights in Istanbul. Unfortunately it looks very touristic but it is very important to introduce the art and handcraft in right way to visitors. Thank you for booking this trip with me. Best Regards...
