Amazing grand bazaar and spice market tour
The grand bazaar can be a confusing and stressful experience with 1000s of stores and pushy vendors. With Mine you will have an enchanting and informative private experience, and the vendors leave you alone. Mine will show you the best authentic stores with high quality goods, usually multi-generational family businesses.
Booking Mine is one of the best travel decisions I have made in years. A passionate and informed local is the only way to do this.
Don’t hesitate- just book her!

Excellent experience at the Grand Bazaar
Mine was a fountain of knowledge about the bazaar - both its history and the shops themselves.
We had an excellent 2.5 hour that took in the hidden nooks and crannies of the bazaar, some of its landmark shops, the hidden back streets and the spice bazaar. A good blend of insight, knowledge and fun that kept our two children (12 and 10) entertained.
All-in-all, a very good tour.

The best tour guide
Mine was an incredible guide. Actually, an incredible host. She asked in advance if we wanted to focus on a particular area and then adjusted seamlessly as we saw shops that jumped out. She has a deep knowledge of the city and the bazaars, introducing us to shop owners making remarkable products. Will do again next time I visit.

Grand Bazaar
Before the trip I had talked with her about what we would like to focus on and so she catered to this.
Everything was with a smile and not once did she mention purchasing anything, only introduced us to places.
All in all a good time and can highly recommend having a guide for a trip to the bazaar
