We had an amazing tour in Istanbul! Our guide first gave us a short but very interesting introduction to the history of the city. He showed us the Hippodrome, explained the obelisks, and then we visited the beautiful Blue Mosque. It was incredible. He also showed us Hagia Sophia from the outside and told us about its fascinating history. After the historical part, we went to the Grand Bazaar together. Our guide helped us shop safely, showed us good quality shops, and even helped us bargain, which was really helpful. If you are in Istanbul and want to go shopping, having a guide with you is definitely a big advantage because there are many fake products around even though things may look the same. We were very satisfied and highly recommend this
