Istanbul Grand Bazaar: From Rooftops to the Secret Passages

1.Istanbul Grand Bazaar: From Rooftops to the Secret Passages
Rooftop views, secret passages, and artisan workshops in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, with guided stories that bring 600 years to life.
“Mertcan, our guide, took us (only 2 of us on the tour) to all the non- touristy areas of the Grand Bazaar, from rooftops to artisan working spaces to secret shops. He gave us a lot of the history of the bazaar which was fascinating. We met interesting artisan/shop owners and had tea with one of them. I was not looking to shop and our guide and the shop owners respected that, there was no hard sell to buy anything. Overall a fantastic experience that I recommend wholeheartedly!”
