“This tour is very eye opening into the world of the Grand Bazaar.”

“This was a fabulous tour. The blue mosque was spectacular, the Hagia Sofia beautiful, the Grand Bazaar was something to experience and Basilica Cistern was great to see. Kemal imparted so much information and was able to answer all our questions. He made the tour exceptional”
A small-group 3-hour Istanbul cruise plus a guided walk through the Spice Bazaar, with time to shop edible treats and see two continents.
“Being picked up from our hotel made it very easy to participate in the tour. It was lovely being on the water however, it was extremely difficult to hear the guide as she had to over-talk the boat's announcements. The trip to the Spice Market was disappointing as the guide rushed us through to her favorite vendor. I expected to learn a bit about the spices and the variety of vendors.”
Guided 5-hour Istanbul loop of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, and Grand Bazaar, with skip-line help and an expert host.
“Excellent tour! Oz is a fantastic guide and spoke at length about the sites. Absolute bargain for the cost of the tour, and a great way to see the iconic sites of Istanbul. Highly recommend!”
4-hour Istanbul tour with pickup to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Hippodrome stops, and Grand Bazaar shopping, plus skip-the-line access.
“Absolutely amazing tour! We were taken on a walking tour around the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sofia, the Grand Bazaar and Spice Market. We were also shown traditional Turkish rug artisans at work, which was fascinating. Our guide, Baris was fantastic - he gave the full history and background of each place visited and answered all our questions. Couldn't have asked for a better tour or guide! Cannot recommend enough :)”
