Wonderful Day at the Grand Bazaar

Mine was our tour guide for the Grand Bazaar and Spice Market. After asking about our needs, Mine crafted a wonderful tour ensuring we visited trusted sellers. Every stop was both a lovely visit with each vendor and a safe shopping experience for us. Without her guidance we would have been totally overwhelmed. Mine ensured the best use of our time and even got us on the right tram at the end of our tour. Mine was so considerate and knowledgeable, she’s simply the best! If you need a guide in Istanbul highly recommend Mine!

A spicy mix of history and shopping

We had a fun afternoon with Mine in the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar. She explained the history of the Bazaars and took us into ancient back laneways and producer’s workshops we would never have found on our own. It is so enjoyable being led to the right places by someone who knows their way through the maze! Mine is acquainted with the owners of some of the best quality outlets. We particularly enjoyed buying lovely Turkish Delight, baklava, saffron and other spices at her favourite shop in the Spice Market. With hindsight we should have brought along a longer list of things to buy, especially jewellery where there is a huge choice of both gold and silver.
