Tours of the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul with its Terraces and Behind the Scenes

We were lucky to discover Istanbul with Mustafa, and it was a superb experience! He helped us discover unusual and authentic corners of the city, far from the classic tourist circuits. Without him, we would clearly have missed out on many things. Mustafa knows Istanbul, its history, and its little spots very well, and he shares all of that with a lot of passion. An enriching, friendly tour full of beautiful discoveries. We recommend Mustafa with our eyes closed to anyone who wishes to discover another side of Istanbul! Thanks again Mustafa!

We spent 3 days with Mustafa when we had only planned one day! Visits to emblematic places, behind the scenes of the Grand Bazaar, organization of a private pdj on the Bosphorus, visit of the secret places of Karakoi, lunch with him in local and typical addresses... Mustafa was very appreciated by the whole family young and old. He is a person who knows his city as a person, tolerant and of a unique kindness. I forget... full of humor! The price-performance ratio is more than correct for a tailor-made organization corresponding to our wishes. I certainly recommend it. I wish him all the best in this beautiful country! I’ll go back and call him to organize everything. Nathalie Rennes

Full and detailed tour of the monuments of the Golden Horn, cruise on the bosphorus, big bazaar where he knows everything and everyone. Ataturk Mosoleum in Ankara Valleys of Cappadocia ANTALYA to finish. We took advantage of his historical and cultural knowledge and introduced us to the gastronomy and local habits throughout the stay.

Extraordinary experience with Mustapha. It is impossible to be disappointed during these visits always full of surprises. Very good places to eat or make purchases.

Mustafa showed us some non-tourist spots at the Grand Bazaar and we climbed onto the roof of the Grand Bazaar, it was excellent. So much so that I have done this tour twice and carry out my visits to İstanbul always preferably with Mustafa!

I have participated in many visits with Mustafa. It's always super interesting and very friendly!

I’ve done a lot of sightseeing in Istanbul with Mustafa, it’s always so exciting and dense Mustafa knows how to make us enjoy the atmosphere of Istanbul

I called Mustafa knowing that he officiates for the French expatriates association Istanbul Accueil. This assured me of having an official, recognized and, of course, French-speaking guide. I entrusted him with the return transfer from Ataturk airport to the Airbnb accommodation in Harbiye as well as a day visit to the Topkapi Palace and the Grand Bazaar. As for the transfer upon arrival in Istanbul, Mustafa explained to us perfectly by email how to find our way and navigate this huge airport and how to collect our vehicle. For the return, having a very early flight, Mustafa was able to organize transport with a departure at 4:00 a.m. The vehicle was more than perfect, automatic door, minimum 7 seats with table. A note on the driver who had honorable conduct both on the way there and on the way back and above all impeccable punctuality.... 4:00 a.m. right in front of the building. Mustafa follows his files very well since he has always anticipated our requests or confirmation of information by email. In addition, in terms of prices, it is completely within the standards. For the Topkapi and Grand Bazaar visit on the same day, Mustafa having had a last minute setback, he delegated his colleague Soner, also French-speaking, to us. I really enjoyed this day, both in terms of Soner's knowledge and also his personality. The Grand Bazaar, a real treat! What surprises and astonishment in this place with the discovery of these nooks and crannies and secret places of ordinary mortals. Soner was really at our disposal and always answered our questions whatever the subject. It’s an original visit and one that I highly recommend. As for Mustafa's prices, for the day or half day, they are quite honorable and cheaper than what I had seen on the Internet. And then the advantage of having a guide is that it allows skip-the-line, meaning entry without waiting to the sites. I warmly thank Mustafa and will not hesitate to recommend him to friends and acquaintances who would like to discover this captivating Istanbul. I will not hesitate to call on him again, even if only for the transfer, if I need to return to the city of cities. Marie-Christine Dorange
