Best souvenir shopping ever

5.00Four of us, all 30s, all wanted to bring stuff home but didn't want to get scammed. Eren basically held our hands through the whole thing. Spice Bazaar first, then through Eminönü, the the Grand Bazaar. He told us when to bargain, when not to, and which shops were the real deal. We came home with so much stuff between the four of us, my partner couldn't believe how much I got for what I spent
Stress free shopping with the kids

5.00We have two kids (9 and 12) and were honestly dreading the Grand Bazaar after hearing how busy it is. Eren made it so easy. He took us through the Spice Bazaar first, which the kids loved because of all the colors and smells, gave them some Turkish delight samples, and then we did the Grand Bazaar at our pace. He kept us moving so the kids didn't get bored but also let us actually shop. Came home with lamps, spices, scarves for the grandmas, and an evil eye for each kid. Worth every penny
Like shopping with a local friend

5.00Booked this because I was traveling alone and didn't want to get ripped off. Eren turned out to be the best decision of the whole trip. He knew every shopkeeper personally, we were offered tea in like 5 different places, and he helped me find a beautiful silver ring at a price I never could have negotiated myself. Felt like shopping with a friend who happens to be from here
Saved us from getting lost in the Grand Bazaar

5.00We tried the Grand Bazaar on our own the day before and gave up after 20 minutes, totally overwhelmed. Eren made the whole place make sense. He took us through the Spice Bazaar first, then through Eminönü, and finally the Grand Bazaar where we actually bought what we wanted at fair prices. No pressure to buy anything ever, just honest help. Walked away with a beautiful ceramic bowl, some saffron and a leather wallet for my dad.
