Testimonials:


We had a great time as well and sang your praises to the rest of our tour group--I think we had a much better experience in the Bazaars than they did in the short time our group shopped together as it's just so overwhelming!

We both greatly enjoyed spending time with you. You are very efficient and knowledgeable in knowing where to find all the great things we wanted; we were impressed. I wish we had bought more of the small anatomical paintings in the Grand Bazaar, but that will have to wait for next time. Stan is trying to learn how to tune his instruments and both are really beautiful and unique. They were real conversation starters on our trip back home. Thankfully, we were able to carry them on with no incidents. Next time we are in Istanbul, we will let you know. We would enjoy seeing you and visiting over a great cup of Turkish chai.

I wanted to thank you again for your help. I kept laughing to myself about what weird shoppers we must've appeared to you!! I really appreciated your taking us to reliable, good quality shops. It's so easy to be fooled and to overpay. I've wanted to open my carpet bag and look at my purchase several times, but I know I'll never get it back in the bag again, so I'm waiting patiently to see it in my home in Valencia.

Thank you for taking Victoria and I around the Grand Bazaar! You were a great help and will certainly use you again when I return and will recommend you to others!

I’m telling everyone who asks that Istanbul and Turkey is a terrific place. I pass your name along when I hear about someone going. I’m enjoying my purchases for sure.

The earrings and scarves were a hit! I still have some scarves for other events. Thank you again for your help. I would never have made it through the Bazaar. My daughter-in-law really liked the patterns we chose for her tea and coffee sets. Istanbul is magical and I would like to come back.

Your ears surely must have been burning since our return as we have been bragging big time of our amazing tour of Istanbul courtesy of our most excellent tour guide – cannot thank you enough for making our too brief Istanbul stay awesome. Our Bay Area friends, Richard and Nancy, are still talking about ya!!!

Thanks so much again for all of your help and kindness while Kathy and I were in Istanbul. You guys made something that can be very stressful, shopping in the bazaar and for carpets, into something very fun and interesting instead, and for that I'm grateful. I look forward to keeping in touch with you both.
