Secrets of Grand Bazaar and Suleymaniye
Hello, my name is Haktan. I am a licenced tour guide who is in love with Istanbul! I will take you to some amazing places and tell you their even more amazing stories! I studied in the USA and travelled to more than 30 countries joining the walking tours whenever I had a chance. I always dreamt of doing such tours in Istanbul and I got my tour guiding degree and started doing it 3 years ago. So far I've received great reviews and met a lot of amazing people. I have three different tours and there is no overlap between them. If you do all of them, I will declare you an Istanbul guru :) Looking forward to meeting you! Haktan

Tour description
One of the most well-known masterpieces by Architect Sinan, Suleymaniye represents the peak of Ottoman art and engineering. Suleymaniye tour definitely requires a guide because there is a detail and an amazing story hidden in every corner of the complex. It's one of my favorite destinations to take my groups.
Grand Bazaar has been the heart of the commercial life of Istanbul for centuries. We are going to visit hidden caravanserais and inns that preserved their historical features. The maze-like streets of the bazaar is definitely a must-see for every visitor and with a local guide it won't be a simply visual experience but one with lots of interesting information and anecdotes...
Useful information for the traveler:
-No ticket is needed for any place we will enter.
-You may want to bring a scarf to enter the mosques.
-When the tour ends you will be able to pay the guru whatever you consider fair. Some will pay €10, others $50. It's up to you! (minimum contribution is €10 per person around the world.)
-The agency for my tours is Eyupsultan Travel A-10425
Looking forward to meeting you!

Haktan is amazing. We did all 3 tours with him (everything that was available) and it were the best tours we done. He such a great tour guide and 2 and 1/2 hrs go fast. Haktan is very passionate and makes you fall in love with the city. Don't hesitate and book him for all the time you have available

I really enjoyed the Bazaar Tour with Haktan. He was informative, humorous and answered many questions I had about Istanbul. I equally enjoyed chatting with his young cousin +assistant who was attentive and smart.
