Full description
A guide leads this 2.5-hour afternoon walk through the Grand Bazaar's trading streets, artisan areas and lesser-known corners, explaining the cultural exchange behind its long history. The basic tour reaches surrounding rooftops for views, while an upgraded option specifically adds access to the Grand Bazaar's own roof.
Turkish or apple tea and local recommendations are included. Reviewers enjoy the variety of trading districts and the guide's expertise, but warn that the many stairs, some steep, make it tiring.
