    Goaky is the absolute best! I’ve taken 3 tours with him over the past year and each time he has catered to my group’s needs and priorities! He helped me buy the most amazing Turkish rugs to bring home, toured us through the markets and surrounding areas. It was so nice to not have to worry about navigating the streets and to just be led by him! He is flexible, fun, knowledgeable and a delight. Cannot recommend him enough.

    This experience is 100% worth it. Gökay is friendly, respectful, and very accommodating. The bazaar can be overwhelming and he made it an enjoyable experience. We visited quality stores, I didn’t feel pressured to buy anything and he provided great tips for negotiating prices. I highly recommend if you want to navigate the bazaar efficiently and enjoy it.

    I liked my first shopping trip with Gokay so much that I booked another when my friend arrived a week after I did. It was way less overwhelming going with a local than going by ourselves - no one bothered us, and Gokay already had knowledge of where to go based on what we were looking for. My friend and I were looking for towels, rugs, lamps, fine jewelry, replica handbags, and replica watches. The quality of the stores he took is to was fantastic, especially the jewelers. We came home with some gorgeous 22k gold pieces for pretty good prices. He was able to translate when needed and let us know when we could negotiate harder and when we could not. The bag and watch places he took us to were also great and I got a phenomenal replica bag, and we would never have known about or been able to find the places he took us to on our own, there are just too many places and the bazaar is too big. I ended up going to a different store for the towels than he took us to, but it helped that he could give us realistic ideas of what to pay and why. I will definitely book another session with Gokay the next time I am in Istanbul.

    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.
