This has always been one of our favorite tours. We've always truly enjoyed watching the elegant architecture of Suleymaniye Mosque. It's a symbol of strength of an era. Reflecting the genius of architect Sinan, Suleymaniye Mosque goes beyond even the standards of modern time architecture. Grand Bazaar will shine your eyes. The bazaar is a world consisting of contemporary shops, Turkish culture and ateliers of dying arts including more than 4000 shops. Even though most of these are touristy places, some shops visited mostly by locals can still be seen. Together we will enjoy visiting such ateliers and shops. Whenever we visit the bazaar to taste the real food we do always prefer a restaurant where the shopkeepers usually eat. This is definitely what we are going to do.
Private Full-Day Strolling through the Old Markets of Istanbul lasts about 5 hours.

Amazing day with Ozge - she was so friendly and lovely and took the time to understand what we wanted out of the day and tailored it to us perfectly. A great mix of culture, hidden gems and the main points was a great way to see and understand a bit about the city. Great value for money and she went above and beyond and even helped us with escorting us onto the ferry to Asia which was our next thing.
Ozge was amazing, she was so professional and kind. She knows all the best places at the bazaar and is also great at teaching history. We enjoyed her company so much, and had the best day at Istambul. I can’t recommend her enough. This is a must if you plan to shop in Istambul.
I had the BEST day with Duygu wandering around the Grand Bazaar. She knows many of the vendors and helps with negotiations which can be unnerving to those of us that aren't familiar with that practice. She took me to a local restaurant where the food was fresh and very good. I learned about the culture and traditions. She is a lovely lady. Her English is excellent.
Duygu was the absolute BEST!!! Her English is excellent and her knowledge of Istanbul was amazing. I learned so much about the culture and customs. She made my day absolutely perfect. She guided me through the very confusing Grand Bazaar and has knowledge of the best vendors and even helped negotiate prices for me. she took me to a lovely and yummy local restaurant for a break and a delicious lunch of local and fresh food. I would definitely book with her again and I highly recommend her if youo are looking for a perfect day.
Great experience! Duygu showed me places I never would have found on my own. She has relationships with vendors so you can really look at their products without getting hassled

Duygu was very nice and knowledgeable. Would definitely use her again. The weather was a bit cold but the sights were amazing.

If there was an option, I would like to give Duygu more than 5 STARS rating! My spouse and myself had a wonderful time in the City only because of our guide. She has an excellent knowledge of history and culture related to the City and its monuments, bazaars and artifacts. Duygu's service was exceptional - for the reason that she is passionate about her job and the City that she lives in. Both of us found her to be extremely courteous and accommodating.
