Acquaintance with Istanbul - Old Town + a walk along the Bosphorus

My goal is to introduce you to the city and help you navigate it. In 6 hours you will go around the center, explore the sights, and if you want to see them from a different angle - sailing on a boat on the Bosphorus. I'll tell you the story in detail, teach you how to bargain, give recommendations and reveal local secrets.

• Blue Mosque – let’s go to one of the main mosques of Istanbul, which was built during the time of Sultan Ahmed I
• Hippodrome (Sultanahmet Square)* – pass through the square, which was once a huge stadium. You will see the monuments that adorned the center of the Ottoman Empire - the Snake Column, the Egyptian obelisk, the German Fountain and the palace of Ibrahim Pasha.
