Il programma nel dettaglio
There’s the Grand Bazaar that visitors see, then there’s the real Grand Bazaar: A warren of streets and hans filled with buzzing workshops unchanged for hundreds of years.HIGHLIGHTS:
* Explore the most interesting and authentic corners of the Grand Bazaar. Led by an expert local guide you’ll get away from the shopping strip & explore the hidden nerve center of the Grand Bazaar!
* Meet some of the finest artisans in Turkey, including metal workers, jewelers, and carpet designers - and see them at work.
* Take amazing pictures at three secret rooftop view points unknown to normal visitors - including the area featured in the James Bond ‘Skyfall’ motorcycle scene.
* Enjoy the services of an expert, English-speaking guide, who will double as an interpreter so you can chat with the fascinating artisans you meet.
This tour will take you behind the scenes at the greatest market in the world to meet some of the artisans that make it unique and see some of Istanbul’s most stunning views from the rooftops of the Bazaar Led by a local guide, you’ll slip away from the teeming tourist trail and wind through the less frequented warrens of the market until you find the traditional artisans’ workshops. There you’ll meet a variety of craftsmen and women including a jeweler, a fabric maker, Iznik ceramic makers, a silver polisher and a small carpet-making factory, home to the last loom in the Grand Bazaar.
We’re making a donation to every studio you visit and working with only the most passionate craftsmen, who will be delighted to chat with you and answer any questions you may have – all of which will be interpreted by your expert, English speaking guide. Through conversation and observation of their work you’ll share in their love for their craft and learn how much care and attention goes into the creation of each product.
But this tour isn’t all back rooms and narrow passageways. The Bazaar is full of rooftop exits that, if you know where to find them, will afford you some of the most unique views of Istanbul. Remember that incredible chase scene from James Bond “Skyfall”? We’ll take you to those rooftops as well as at least two other stunning viewpoints. These places are virtually unknown to tourists (and even most locals) so there is no better way to really get a feel for what the Grand Bazaar is really like.
