Such a great day!!! It wasn’t my first time in Istanbul, but it was my first sightseeing tour. What I really love about this city is that is blends perfectly the old and the new, many cultures, and has sites from different periods. The guide took us to some very important places, and I was excited to listen to the history behind each place.
