As a Turk, these prices are normal. A month ago, the prices were half, but now maybe 20 30 TL can change around here, so you haven't been scammed, sir. Be careful and bargain though because even just 10 TL is very important for a traveler.I hope this helps those who come to Türkiye. Thank you for video have good time
@@tshepieotladisang2034I m so sorry Mrs, I have no idea about hotel in İstanbul because I live in İstanbul.But I use a few apps for hotel in turkey. I hope it helps you. Enuygun - Etstur - Odamax Tatisepeti -Trivago -booking -tripadvisor . You can check the location of Fatih for the Grand Bazaar. Happy holiday!
Beautiful Bazar! Would love to walk on those streets one day. People are so friendly. Love the way how you put so much thought and attention to detail in getting that thoughtful gift for your Habibi 😍😇 She is one lucky lady Mac machan! She is also a gem and deserve all the love. The other gadgets too are very interesting and never seen anything like it before. Great content machan 🙏❤
That engraving shop was lit!! I literally thought you’d film all day, go back to your hotel, edit and post the next day 😅 Until I heard you say this would be posted in June to the show guys 😅
come on. This guy is misleading us! In the last video, he was wearing the white shirt that he bought in this video (with Turkish flag printed) ! so it means that this video is old! Also in this video, he said to the guys in the shops that the video will be not be shown until June which is a long time! so probably he took this video in April or May! Be honest please!!! Long Live Russia and Putin. We will win the war!
Hey Mac, wow this is a amazing video,i enjoyed it from the start to the end,wow new sneakers a new cab,new other unique thinks wow, Istanbul on his best Mac,i allso loved the big bazaar, all those nice people,i hope one day to go to Istanbul to !! thanks Mac for showing and hope to see you in the next video...

You are the man MAC! I would be such a sucker and raked over the coals with the salespeople there. They would see me coming from a mile away and rub their hands in glee. That is why I watch from the comfort of my tiny home here in Az., USA. I live vicariously through people like you who have the energy and skills to travel well and safely. You really are a wonderful person, so friendly and welcoming and I see how people respond back to you in like manner. I love your vibe so to speak! Stay safe my friend!

Thanks for this amazing Grand Bazaar vlog.... will be traveling to Istanbul by Sept. 2022, God permitting and video has mesmerized me about the sights, sounds, and smell of the place. This place is a must for me to visit.
Hey Mac, you are a legend to keep remembering the friends you made from your journey specially Fouad, I bet Fouad is dying to reunite with you again, love your loyalty, much respect, Ahmad from Lebanon (Tripoli)
I found most real generous people there are from Syria , one of my real friends there are from Syria ! why they are most generous people there because they've been going through a lot !
I've seen one travel show introducing that Grand Bazaar before, it's really big, I'm happy to see you visit there! That Turk who asked if you are famous is really smart, he probably asked that question to decide how to talk to you next! Congrats on finding the same white shoes as you wore before, and the final gift! The laser engraved lighters are really cool, hope they can try body tattoos one day! Great job, thanks for sharing！👍😄👏

Mac Mac Mac, great vlog bro, but I want you to upper your negotiation game, 😂 you are at the heart of some of the best negotiators on the planet, and some of those sellers enjoy it too, so don't be afraid to fire back your own price tag, I enjoyed watching your experience bro as always! ❤
@@titaniumspecial4207 How did you manage to find negativity in my comment is beyond me 🤣 as a traveller, negotiation is important to embrace the culture, but of course, if he is happy with the price then by all means!!
Hi Mac When are you heading to Lebanon? I know that there is sometimes delays between your trips and video uploads. I watched all your Lebanon videos and when I visit from the US, I will be using your videos as guide for my vacation in Lebanon. If it happens that you and Fouad are in Lebanon from July 8-30 I would love to invite you for a lunch or dinner. Fouad is a true nice Lebanese spirit. Respect to both of you 🇱🇧
The Grand Bazaar is a tourist trap where they charge you 3x the real value. These shops are nowdays mostly run by refugees who work uninsured and are poorly paid. The only Turk you probably met it is the juice vendor 😀 Please also go to other places in Istanbul!
Hi Mark wow that was really really nice and the pictures I was really nice I finally you got the shoes I does get problem for shoes size 2 I think them charge you a little too much for the pen 😊😊😊 from Trinidad
We going to Istanbul in August Insha’Allah and our hotel is not far from grand bazaar, will definitely visit this place Insha’Allah 😁btw love your videos ❤️
Mac there other places in Istanbul. Visit the shopping malls visit Taksim,Beyoglu,Nisantasi,Besiktas, Bebek,Kadikoy moda,Buyuk ada,Zorlu center,Mall of Istanbul, Cehavir etc etc don't hang around Eminonu.
That’s very helpful video! I live in NYC and planning to visit İstanbul! I’m looking to rent maybe a small apt or room , I want to be close to Galata tower or in karakoy Or Cihangir, any recommendations how to find a place to rent ?
I am already looking the ticket to Istanbul from Miami ....$1250 Turkish airlines and $1500 ( Luftansa ) ..... for the month of August . I love it and Thanks for uploading
Turkish Airlines is the best. I wish you enjoy your trip. Don't be shy to talk to locals. Mac just bargains with them without speaking 1 word Turkish lmao 🤣.
in my opinion Mac not in Istanbul coz he didn't try Adana kebab and Turkish Baklawa Yet🤔 Grand Bazaar is good for bargain which you couldn't do, your market hunt mostly for Caps/sun glasses coz Mac Machan in habit to jump any water with cap n glasses On so always at nxt destination Mac purchase same😛😛
Although I loved the engraving machine and the guys working there, in general however I must say the people working in the shops weren’t overly friendly and didn’t seem to be much interested in creating business. What’s your thought on that ?
Well, I must say some of them were really not that cooperative but I can understand that because some of people are not that comfortable being in front of a camera. But in my experience, most of the locals here are very nice and hospitable🥰🥰
@@worldnomac Thanks man, good to know, as I’m planing to visit at one point. Still though, you’ve been all over the world with your camera, and I never had the feeling people had minded as much. I can see that not everyone is comfortable in front of a camera, but a lot of the people came across “short” and rather rude. In most other countries I’ve seen on your channel show interest in making friends. Maybe it’s just the way it came across. I wouldn’t hold it against the general public, as I don’t judge a country by just a few.
@Ercan Banks Thanks for the info. Makes absolutely sense, because I’ve heard from various Europeans that the atmosphere in general is actually very different. But if the economy is truly this bad, you can’t really blame anyone.
@Ercan Banks its crazy how you are defending the unfriendly behavior of these businessmans. bargaining in Turkey is difinitly a must the locals do it so why not tourist. why should there be a different price for tourist. That is not norally or ethically correct there is no exuse for that.
