Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
I had heard so much about Istanbul's Grand Bazaar that perhaps my expectations were too high. Loads of stores, overpriced merchandise, definitely colorful, but nothing unique or unusual that I wished I would have bought. I've been to many bazaars, and this one was certainly not the best.
We had a great full day tour of Istanbul. The tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.
I would recommend anyone visiting Istanbul to hire this company and particularly Taylan. He was really flexible in allowing me to bend the schedule a bit to accommodate shopping for a special item. It is rare that you can create your own tour, however, with this service you can. Also, I think for solo women travelers hiring a person tour guide is a must in Istanbul.
Our guide was truly a blessing! She was knowledgeable and easy to understand. The vehicle we used was beautiful and very comfortable.
在GALATA桥上，看着来来往往的人车，想像这古老的城市经过几千年不同朝代，但桥下得MARMARA 海仍旧不变。下了桥后，我们搭上渡轮。游了博斯普鲁斯海峡。MARMARA 和博斯普鲁斯海的交汇处很壮观。
The Grand Bazaar is an overstimulating labyrinth of endless shops…
Thank you again Taylan for a lovely day…you definitely helped to make our trip to Istanbul a memorable one!
Grand Bazaar Really is a Wonderful Place.
The hippodrome is now a road at the back of the Blue Mosque. There is nothing left of the stands that would have been here, but using your imagination you can see where the track may have been.
The first element of the area is a 'fountain' built to celebrate the visit of Kaizer Wilhelm II. You should notice that…
Hagia Sophia an absolute must to see in Istanbul. you will need several hours to see it all and in the winter it's very cold.
