Istanbul Shopping Tours
Turkey is not only famous for historical and cultural sights, its also well know for its fantastic shopping opportunities. Shopping in Istanbul is not only an excellent deal but also a lot of fun.
As your local shopping friend we will design your Istanbul Shopping Tour with you to create shopping itineraries that meet your unique specifications. Our private shopping tours are tailored to your wishes. Whether you have very little time available or you are planning an extended shopping trip. We will be more than happy to arrange your private shopping tour accompanying you where you will save time and money.
First of all we assign your likes and dislikes for shopping and we create a list of shopping options from the whole list like, Nisantasi (a very trendy street of Istanbul, Gucci, Armani, Hermes,Prada, Louis Vuitton….. and some nice cafes and restaurants…) Kanyon and Istinye Park Shopping malls, Kanyon is a new design mall half open air with nice brands… Grand Bazaar and around (Carpet store and its history, Turkish tiles store and its details with history, Leather shops, jewellery stores…etc) Walk along Istiklal str. with local stores… finishes the tour with a coffee offer and a gift souvenier from us.
A day of Guided Experiences may include one of the following:
- A highly organized, time efficient and goal oriented agenda (no time for tea)
- A resolution-focused yet relaxed completion of your buying desires – possibly interspersed by lunch (served in a tiny room at the top of even smaller stairs) in a Turkish “hole in the wall cafe” OR….ending with a colorful ride up the Bosphorus in a fishing boat….
- Or maybe an orchestrated day of “the back streets of Istanbul” memories….your Private Tour Shopper experience can be designed according to your individual needs.
- The Private Tour Shopper takes you to trustworthy merchants who are offering prices that normally only the “locals” get…bottom line, your day’s fee can be readily recouped from the savings you get on your purchases…trust the Shopper on that one!
- What you are getting : You are buying the experience and knowledge of a local resident, without having to be on a big tour bus with 40 close-knit strangers….as well as getting streamlined assistance without giving up your status as an “independent traveler” – how the Shopper prefers to travel!

Make the difference between a good trip and an outstanding one !
Myself and 2 girlfriends did the tour and we had a ball. Gokhan was our guide and he was fantastic. We had a great time and will definitely do it again the next time we are in Istanbul.
I have been to Istanbul many times and this was my first tour. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and spent way too much money!! Our tour guide was delightful and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this to anyone.
Fantastic day shopping with a friendly very professional tour host, who made sure we visited the type of shops that interested us all. So good to be able to arrive at the door and later load the shopping bags into the vehicle, without the hassle of finding the different outlets, parking or using public transport. The lunch stopover was a perfect way to quickly relax and enjoy the company of other people on the tour before heading off for more retail therapy. The massive bargains more than made up for the cost of the tour and it was a lot of fun.
While I was planning my trip to Istanbul last year I knew I wanted to experience some of the incredible shopping that was available but I also knew that I wanted to go off the beat and path to experience the “real” Istanbul. I would recommend Ebru to anyone interested in experiencing the “real” Istanbul for a day of shopping and sight seeing along the way! She’ll create a fabulous day that you will thoroughly enjoy.
If you like unique shopping, you don’t want to miss this oppertunity to get inside the fashon world. Get behind the scene and inside the designers studio and show rooms. Find one of a kind deals and view the upcomming season before they even go to market. You even get to meet and interact with some of the designers. Will definitely do it again.
The guide was very flexible being a private vehicle they would stop anywhere we asked them to. It was amazing experience with these great people.
What a treat! In general I am not one that enjoys the shopping experience very much however, the guide was A+ and the selection and prices were fantastic. The next time I return to Istanbul I will sign up for the tour again earlier in the trip and purchase luggage in addition to a new wardrobe.
Ladies-this is a must-do in Istanbul! Your own personal shopping guide…need I say more? I would recommend doing this towards the beginning of your trip so that you can go back to the stores or neighborhoods you discover on your tour. An amazing experience!
Wonderful time! Exceptional experience for my 17 year old daughter and me. Ebru was a complete joy as a guide. Her personal approach and knowledge of the garment district, the designers and insights to Istanbul were fabulous. Left the tour with great finds to treasure! Highly recommend to others who want to see the design world from a different perspective.
It was a day out to relax, shop and let our tour guide take us around various suburbs of inner istanbul.
