Istanbul Private Old Town and Shopping Tour in Grand Bazaar

À propos de cette activité

Do you want to have a Private Tour for the History and Legends of Istanbul and have the chance to have a Personal Shopper in the Grand Bazaar? Instead of being only a guide to tell stories I am looking forward to add personal interactions to the tour and curate routes for your needs in the Grand Bazaar (only if you want to shop) In this tour everything is adjustable, we can add or remove the stops as you like. We will learn the unknown details hidden behind the walls: - Why only one Angel’s face is open but three other Angel’s faces are covered in Hagia Sophia? - Who was Istanbul’s secret Viking visitor and what did he leave as a note to us? - What is behind the walls of the Hippodrome? - Which door was made of Noah’s Ark? - Why there are more than 30.000 dead bodies under the main square of the city? - Which minaret was made of jewelry? All these questions and even more will be answered and covered with great storytelling.

      8. Grand Bazaar

        4.000 store marketplace. Almost 600 years old history. One of the most remarkable places in Istanbul. Here, you have a choice. If you were already planning to come to Grand Bazaar for shopping anyways, as I am an expert guide on the bazaar (You can see I have another tour just focusing on Shopping in Grand Bazaar), I will help you with your shopping and once your shopping is done we will end the tour here. In my expertise, the shortest shopping takes 2 hours. If you are not interested in shopping, then we will go on with the other places that are after here. However, in case you want to do shopping, you have to let me know beforehand so I can curate a personalized route for you in the bazaar. Of course, I will recommend you amazing stores with great quality and help you bargain. (Most of the guides do not bargain, just leave you at random stores and wait outside, I act more like a personal shopper.)
