The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

Tour guide better very experienced with highlighting site. Tour is mainly by van. Lunch was OK at best. Only 1 site better would be 2 best would be 3. Boat cruise was weak because the boat's guide could not be heard or understood. Boat was also too far from shore.
