The guide was very professional and kept with our taste - Purchasing things we liked and the guide took us to the shop of our interests. The walking was good ., so was the vehicle sent for our pick up

Too crowded - I have not seen so many people crowded at one place. Better go there early in the morning. It is very interesting there!

A must see. - Imagine a place where people have been shopping for over 600 years! There is everythng from Turkish coffee sets to rugs to elegant scarves, and of course, Turkish Delight. It helps to go with a guide so you don't overpay for items.

Great bazaar - Great Bazaar, I liked this bazaar more than the grand bazaar,, but as every where in Turkey you have to bargain. the ALLADIN sweets were great ,, like the second store,, turkish sweets made with honey,, I also find that if you walk straight you can reach the grand bazaar, on that way you can find lots of wholesaler for scarf.. so you can buy in bulk ,, cheaper..

Don't get ripped off! - The first thing to note is that there are many entrances to this Bazaar and they also have security when entering, so you have to go through a metal detector. they don't really check anything i went in with a pram they didn't really say anything and didn't check my bags. The Bazaar is very busy and the closing time is around 7pm. Advise: The prices in the bazaar are actually more than you would find outside the bazaar. So i recommend shopping outside the bazaar on the street markets. they are generally around 20-30 Lira difference. when you enter the Bazaar you will see the sweet/savoury sections. they are a absolute rip off. do not buy for more than 60 lira for 1 kg of Turkish delights. they will quote you from 120-90 lira. Trust me you can get it cheaper with them or somewhere else. The decorated tea sets they sell for 120 lira. BUT you can actually go to the supermarket and get the same set for 10 Lira!!! there are a lot of fake cloths, bags, shoes etc. if you decide to buy them always remember they will quote you 3 times the actually amount they are willing to sell for. so don't be fooled! the bazaar is huge place with similar shops just in different places. its worth a visit just to see what all the fuss is about. snapchat movement of course. I have actually found better exchange rates in the bazaar than outside. the food around the bazaar is expensive. you can get the same even better food on the side of the streets away from the touristy bits. i ate at the restaurant right outside and paid over 120 Lira for kebab and rise, and a Turkish pizza. i went outside the busy bits and got 2 large kebab wraps, chips, pizza and some other dishes i forgot what you call them plus tea and cakes enough for 4 people (2 of us only, since am going holiday might swell put some calories on) and only paid 56 Lira! which is about £6 Bargain! (exchange rate was 8.2)

Many many things to buy, but I hope they are Turkish made not made in China - I walk around, looking to all stuff and I change dollars too. I noticed that you must be good in bidding, so you can get the best price that you want.

Just look, don't buy!! - The place is really interesting, fascinating, colorful and lively. Definitely worth a visit. But be careful, whatever you buy here you'll pay at least double respect to what you'd pay in a shop anywhere else out of the heavy touristic areas.

Sightseeing and some shopping and trust no one. - I entered gate 5, then looking around some small shops. I decided to buy a suitcase and I ask someone how much, how’s the quality, his asking price is 300 lira and it’s high quality made in Turkey. I bid and I pay 200 lira. It looks good and strong, but when I return home, the zipper is broken and two big cracks. The suitcase that I bought is disposable. Iam very very disappointed. :(

Poor guide for tour - The memorable moments is when the guide just left us on our own. Not a very attentive guide. He then implied that we weren't where we were supposed to be at the meeting time.

Very poor quality and high prices - While buying minimum get price of 30% of first price a seller offers. In asian side you will find same products and way way cheaper. The quality is very very poor. Clothes and bags we brought got broken within a week. Total turist scam!! Do not trust these lying and agressive turks! TERRRIBLE PLACE
