We’re not a professional tour company, so these aren't tours or site-seeing trips, but opportunities to meet artists, designers, craft masters, gallery owners, and visit the workshops and showrooms of Istanbul.
A sample trip goes something like this …
- You are met at your hotel at 10:00 am
- You spend the morning visiting artist workshops in the Sultanahmet area
- For lunch you dine at a medrese dating back to the 1500s
- In the afternoon you explore shops and showrooms in Sultanahmet, Levent, Taksim, Cukurcuma or Galata
- You are returned to your hotel at 3:00 pm
Details: Three people maximum per group recommended, $250 (transportation costs and lunch extra).
