I went on this tour with Tuly who was a nice tour guide. It was a great time to go onto the Bosphorus Boat Cruise during the afternoon and have some nice Turkish tea and snacks, although we didn't have lunch due to lack of time. We saw lots of amazing Mosques, shops, restaurants and places, as well as bought a bunch of Ottoman spices from the spice market. We didn't get to goto the Ayup Sultan due to the bad traffic in Istanbul so it was incomplete.
