We chose this tour because we wanted to explore the bazaars at a relaxed pace, with the freedom to wander and follow whatever caught our interest—and it turned out to be exactly what we were looking for.
İpek was a wonderful guide for this walking tour. She gave us the space to decide our own preferences while offering great suggestions whenever we needed guidance. She even helped us negotiate with local vendors using her “secret method,” which made the experience both fun and rewarding.
Throughout the walk, she shared insightful historical and cultural information and patiently answered all our questions. We managed to explore the Grand Bazaar, the pedestrian market, and the Spice Bazaar, wrapping up the tour perfectly in time for lunch.
All in all, it was a great day of shopping, browsing, and learning—highly recommended for those who prefer a more flexible and unhurried way to experience Istanbul’s bazaars.
