Shopping Tour Experience in Istanbul [460007P1]
This is an exclusive tour of personal shopping in Istanbul of high-quality products created by Turkish artists, artisans, and designers. I have a standard tour that offers textiles, bath ware, ceramics, blowing glass, carpets, silks, garments, jewelry, lamps, spices, essential oils, and sweets. We start at The Grand Bazaar where we visit four stores dedicated to textiles, lamps, and jewelry design, then we go to Arasta for rugs and bath ware, and then to the area of Galata and Pera for ceramics, glass art objects, and diverse independent shops of artists and designers. On my shopping tour, you decide what you carry with you, anything you buy can be sent to your hotel or shipped to your country. I also curate personal shopping routes according to your interests. We use the metro to move around. You can buy a personalized metro card, or we use mine. If that is the case, at the end of the tour we refill the card with the fees you and your companion spent with it.
