Grand Bazaar: From Rooftops to the Secret Passages

Overview of the tour in Istanbul

This is a walking tour through the Grand Bazaar, and it offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the heart and soul of Istanbul, where East meets West, and tradition intertwines with modernity.

In this tour, we will talk about the history and the evolution of the Grand Bazaar. Starting with a breathtaking view of the Grand Bazaar from an old inn nearby the Bazaar, we will walk through the Bazaar and see the secrets it is hiding from unknowing eyes.

As you step into the Bazaar, you'll be transported to a world that has enchanted travelers for centuries.

The Grand Bazaar is a labyrinthine network of mystical and antique shops, all nestled beneath a single, sprawling roof. Join me on this tour to see the real riches of the Bazaar rather than the familiar tourist sights.
