Treasures of Byzantine, ottoman - Me and my partner we took an morning tour. we met the guide near Beyazıt Grand bazaar tram stop and we started to walk from there to Suleymanıye mosque which was the 2'nd best mosque of architect Sınan, then we walked through a food market that is called womans market had some snack and black tea there, further more we visited Fatih Mosque, and an neighbourhood where conservative people live in, then we walked to CHORA Mosque today ( used to be an Orthodox Church during byzantine and a museum, built in 1,321 ) . After we took a public bus and stopped in front of spicy market near galata bridge. Holy recommend.

Food tastings - Food tastings in different places were more then enough to know about Turkish food culture. We stopped in many places to taste food, some places we set down and some places we just stand by and tasted the food. Tour guide did his best to give informations about. Higly recommended.
