Traveler Reviews

    The price is not really worth it, as it only includes transportation for the day there is Uber here and a great metro system and a terrible tour guide. You will be expected to pay 80 TL extra about 25 for other entrance fees, plus . The tour guide AJ? was just plain rude. She kept hurrying us incessantly, and she even ended up scolding us at several points. She made an older woman in our tour run in the rain and kept rolling her eyes when this woman said she could not run and was too sick to get wet.

    During the little time we had at the Bazaar they will give you one hour for over 4000 shops, the tour guide will demand you follow her to the stores she recommends and no doubt gets commission at. When we got fed up and asked her to just meet us somewhere, she just scolded us some more.

    You can get better tours that include entrance fees for the same price.

    This tour was great for the short time span that we had. Our guide took us to places not on the usual list and was very helpful and knowledgeable.
