Safe and fast rug shopping opportunity with a local expert to make your shopping spree hassle-free and as pleasant as possible, makes this tour unique. I am a rug expert and writer a book about rugs. "All you need to know before Buying Oriental Rugs"- I know all about the handmade Turkish rugs very well because this had been our family business in the past. I have many connections in the rug market such as small or big rugdealers, wholesalers etc. I can be very helpful if you are looking for a Turkish rug during your trip to Istanbul. Turkey is recognized throughout the world for their magnificent hand-woven rugs. The carpets are like fine art: unless you really know what you are looking for, it is easy to be fooled or scammed into buying something that is not of real quality and turns out to be a bad investment. Go with an expert! Everyday except Sunday depending on my schedule..please ask my availability. 1 person complimentary if you are booking for 2 people or more
