Unlike standard market visits, this private walking tour goes beyond the surface, offering rare access to the hidden courtyards and artisan workshops tucked within the Grand Bazaar and its surrounding Hans.
You’ll explore Zincirli Han, Kalcılar Han, and Astarlı Han—quiet, atmospheric spaces where time seems to pause and traditional crafts are still practiced by hand. With a knowledgeable local guide by your side, you’ll not only navigate the bustling Grand Bazaar and Spice Market with ease but also uncover centuries-old stories, meet local artisans at work, and gain a deeper appreciation for Istanbul’s role in the Silk Road and Ottoman trade.
It’s an immersive experience that blends history, culture, and craftsmanship, all in a personalized setting.
