A really interesting tour with lots of local flavor. The guide was great, but the market was very crowded and a bit overwhelming at times. Still, a valuable cultural experience and worth doing.

It was an okay tour, but not quite what we expected. The market was interesting, but there wasn’t much time to stop and browse. It felt a bit rushed, and there wasn’t a lot of interaction with the vendors.

Helpful? Yes
Well-organized and informative. I especially liked the fresh fruit tasting. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the walking pace was a little fast for my elderly mother. Otherwise, excellent!

Such a unique and enriching experience! Walking through the market with a local guide made all the difference. We got insights into Turkish daily life, tasted incredible local cheeses and olives, and even learned a few Turkish words to bargain like locals. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!
