3-hour Istanbul combo: guided Spice Bazaar walk, then a Bosphorus cruise past Dolmabahçe and Rumeli Hisarı.

“The transportation to and from was good. The guide was not very good and basically dumped us! The bazaar was teeming with people and we almost lost him a number of times even after asking him to slow down. There was no narration on the cruise, so we didn't really know what we were seeing.”

6.Culinary Backstreets of the Bazaar Quarter

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 118 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $145Top rated

A 5.5-hour Istanbul food tour in the Bazaar Quarter with two meals, snacks, crafts, and hot drinks, led by an expert guide in English.

“A wonderful tour that was not just food but so many stories and experiences, meeting local craftsmen and cooks, tasting so many different things some in places you likely would not find by yourself. And the amount of tastings was just right - we were full by the end but not to the extent of feeling too stuffed. But be sure not to eat breakfast before the tour and at least we also did not need a dinner after it!”

Having a guide made the visits to the Blue Mosque and Basilica Cistern so much more meaningful and enjoyable. I can't recall our guide's name, however he did a great job. He had lots of great info to share. Thank you!”
