Get to the meeting point at the Hürrem Sultan Hamam. Take your time exploring the beautiful market filled with Turkish handicrafts. Follow this with a visit a local food market, where you can try out spices, herbs, Turkish tea, and other Turkish delicacies. Your guide will introduce you to the world-famous Turkish delights - be warned, you may not be able to stop at one!

Next, you’ll get to marvel at the city of Istanbul from a high rooftop. Pause here for a while as you marvel at the city and take some memorable pictures with a beautiful landscape in the background.

If you still have some energy after the walking tour, you can continue to explore the city along with your guide and head to Taksim and the Galata area.
