AVOID These Scams In Istanbul 🇹🇷

With peak travel season coming to Istanbul and Turkey, make sure you avoid these scams in Istanbul to keep you safe and protect your money. The lemon street vendor tried to cheat his way more than once into fooling me into buying more items than I originally wanted. Showing he only has big bills and no small change is an easy way street scammers in Istanbul try to cheat you into buying more items than you originally want. Also big hotels such as this Crown plaza IHG are doing false advertisement. Hotels should inform their guest that certain facilities are not working before booking. Most big chain hotels I checked in Turkey warn you on their website that their Hamman and gym is closed which is why I didn't stay with them and chose this hotel which I thought had everything up and running but apparently not. This is false advertisement at its finest and management didn't even care at all when I talked to them about the issue. Istanbul is a great place to visit, rich in food and culture however, keep your eyes open and stay alert to avoid silly scams in Istanbul.

I haven't even filmed half the stuff I been getting scammed with so far in Istanbul, from Alejandra's eyelashes to buying fruit in markets! I didn't expect an international hotel like the Crown Plaza to join in on the fun. The most important part is to have fun with it and not take it personal, you gotta bargain all the time, this is the way! (Mandalorian voice)

The food in Istanbul is very hit miss. You can find better food in the South of Turkey. Thanks for visiting my country, we welcome you ☺️🇹🇷

[chaosreborn]

Maybe its just me, but I find it adorable that Volpe talks primarily in English and Alejandra talks primarily in Spanish 😂

[TheFuatti]

I’m happy for you that you visited our beautiful country but at the same time I’m so sorry for coming across these shameless scammers. I’m truly ashamed on my behalf because this is not really what our people like. It’s just that I believe you come across these kind of greedy people in almost every country whenever they see a tourist like a pray. I hope that you enjoyed your stay overall. Keep up the great stuff bruh, much love from Turkey ❤

[Sour]

Props, Volpe. Great eats, and the both of you are living the life.

[johnnygutierrez]

I really enjoy the content I usually watch after work when I’m chilling at home smoking a fatty this hits for you buddy 💨

[brlog]

Türkiye is DEFINITELY one of the most beautiful country in this world; considering their people and nature!

[AlxTrucho]

I was in Istanbul around the same time as you. My sister an mom def got scammed on tea ingredients in the Grand Bazaar an I got scammed on a taxi from the airport to our hotel.I noticed that they were more likely to go more for the females that were with me to scam. Im a big guy so I decided to take over any dealings with negotiating prices and saying no to hustlers on the street. Overall they had a nice time but it was a bit frustrating having to deal with the scammers an gypsies grabbing at your pockets. Ill say this, I stayed at the Grand Hyatt Istanbul and they treated us like Royalty. Doesn't look as great as the Crowne Plaza but def worth staying at. Overall Id go again just for the food and the cheap shoes an clothes an the people(ones not trying to scam you). One more thing, on the Asian side this is less common I feel. Asian side was AWESOME!

[chrisming]

I luv Ale, her descriptions and reactions are everything 😊

[RockOnSocksOn]

Consistent content, appreciate the diverse uploads!

I love Alejandra's confidence in her cooking. That's a sign of a good woman. Your hotel has a beautiful old world charm to it. Your food reviews are always entertaining and you two always pick a nice variety of tasty treats to eat. Alejandra's appetite is legendary and I approve.👍🏽💪🏽👌🏽
