About Grand Bazaar and Spice Market Tour

Arrive at the Hürrem Sultan Hammam to meet your guide and enter the stunning world of vibrant and expert Turkish handicrafts. Take surreal photographs from roofs, visit a regional food market to sample spices, herbs, and local delicacies, and, of course, make a stop at the aromatic Spice Bazaar to sample one or more of the legendary traditional Turkish delights. After this two-hour tour, you can continue exploring with your guide if you are not fatigued. The following destinations are Taksim and the Galata neighborhood; en route, you'll cross the fishermen of Galata Bridge. The Golden Horn and Bosphorus are crossed by the bridge, which makes for a picturesque backdrop for photos. You may trace the history of the Italian, Greek, Jewish, Austrian, Russian, and German cosmopolitan cultures that previously called the Galata district home by visiting well-known locations like the Galata Tower, Dervish Lodge, and Tunnel Square before winding up the evening.
