Overview

Istanbul’s magical shopping scene is home to exciting markets, enchanting bazaars and the workshops of talented artisans. Join a personally handpicked Host and experience the city coming alive in the entertaining shopping districts, both during the daylight and as the sun sets. Relish in the local vibe and enjoy a full sensory experience with your Host; exploring emporiums, covered markets, indoor bazaars, quirky stalls, and a diverse shopping scene all the while getting the top tips on bartering. Your Host can present you with ideas for the best places to enjoy the unique merchandise of Turkey, from organic produce to handmade pottery, to clothing, and lanterns. We will contact you within 24 hours of your booking to find out about your interests so we can assign a like-minded Host who will create a bespoke experience for you. Your Host will suggest an itinerary and agree a meeting time and place, but you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
