The Istanbul Grand Bazaar Tour with Spice Market is not to be missed. It gives you a real “flavor” of life in Istanbul amongst the locals and also escorts the traveler back in history.
Our guide Ebru showed unbridled enthusiasm in her role of guiding us through the palace and her extensive knowledge regarding the history behind the palace made the experience even more memorable and impressive. She was very pleasant and kindhearted. The palace itself is fairly extensive and interesting to see in person.
Thank you to Melike for the fascinating and very enjoyable tour! Great depth of knowledge and details shown and the sites visited were very special and helped give a greater understanding of the Ottoman empire.
