Gokay - Gokay, our guide for the day joined us on short notice and thanks to him, we were able to make the best of our short time in Grand Bazaar. Gokay not only helped us navigate the complex Grand Bazaar, but also gave us a closer insight into Turkey and the wonderful people of Istanbul. His recommendations were spot on. We were super glad that we ran into Gokay and wholeheartedly recommend him.

Worthwile Shopping Trip in Istanbul - Our shopping trip to Istanbul with Gökay as our guide was absolutely worth it. Even in just a few hours, he proved to be an excellent guide and an engaging conversationalist. Gökay's genuine love for the city and his helpful tips made the experience unforgettable. He knew all the best places to shop and offered excellent recommendations. We highly recommend him as a guide for your next trip to Istanbul. It was truly worth it, and we look forward to exploring the city again wih him again next time.

Best guide - I hands down recommend Göky for any help planning a trip to Turkiye. He sends detailed info and videos explain g everything you need to know to have a stress free experience. I booked Göky to help me shop at the Grand Bazaar. He took care of all the details and arranged my transportation to and from the airport. He works hard to personalize the trip according to your wishes and desires and genuinely looks out for you. He’s an excellent communicator and sincerely cares about the people that book through him. Göky is amazing and I will only deal with him upon returning to Turkiyë 5 stars!

The best experience!! - I honestly can’t imagine having gone shopping at the Grand Bazaar without Gokay. This was my husband and I’s first time in Istanbul, and I knew I wanted to buy gifts from the Grand Bazaar for friends and family. So I stumbled upon this Airbnb experience, and I’m so glad I did!!!! Especially because my husband is not too big a shopper haha, he stayed back at a Starbucks 5 min walk away while Gokay led me through the bazaar! It worked out great because I would have been too nervous to shop by myself! With Gokay’s help, I bought the most beautiful jewelry, scarves, and Turkish lamps! He took me to shops he recommended but also never pressured me to buy anything. It was like shopping with a friend. He is nice, friendly, and professional. He also helped arrange our taxi transfers to and from the Istanbul airport and our hotel, which was wonderful because we encountered some scammy taxi drivers. Gokay is hands down the best and most helpful guide.

Perfect for our friend group! - Our guide was fantastic! He blended in with our friend group and was like having one more person to laugh and hang out with for the day. He knew all of the locations and advised on how to get the best prices from the view of a local. Every shop was an experience and we were comfortable the whole time. Highly recommend!

Amazing Experience with an Amazing Guide - Gökay was a great guide who took me and my family through the bazaar. Even though we are Turkish we have not been in Turkey for more than 10 years and I personally have never been to the bazaar. I must say without a guide it’s almost impossible to navigate around. He asked us our needs first and then tailored the experience according to our needs. The shops he took us were trustable and very helpful with the prices, Gökay makes sure that you are safe with him everywhere! We bought some luxury bags, lamps and ceramics and they shipped them to Germany! Looking forward to using them
