Istanbul Jewelry from Local Perspective
Hello! I am Zana, official tour guide in Istanbul. I'll tell you a little about myself: I graduated in Spanish Philology so I have a good command of Hispanic history and culture. After finishing my degree, I started studying a tour guide, which was my second profession. Why did I study all this? Because I like meeting new people, their cultures, their points of view... it's one of the things that makes me happiest in this life, in fact, I've been like this since childhood :) See you soon in Istanbul! :)

Do you want to see the jewels of Istanbul while contemplating the local life of the city? :)
We are going to visit:

2. Mercado Popular: An old local market where you can find the best Turkish coffee stall, typical dessert shops, breakfast products, Turkish cuisine products, etc.
3. Spice Bazaar (F. 1664, the second largest indoor bazaar after the Grand Bazaar. It contains thousands of kinds of spices, teas, Turkish delight, jewelry...)

It is essential to see it and be in its viewpoint where you can see a spectacular view of the Golden Horn River, Bosphorus, the European and Asian part.)
6. Şerefiye Cistern: (F. in the 5th century. One of the oldest Byzantine cisterns in the historical peninsula. You will be amazed by the Istanbul history documentary screening in the cistern which you can see in the photos :) )

Totalmente recomendable! Nos encantó el tour, toda la información que nos compartió fue interesante, y muy simpático - unió al grupo como si fuéramos amigos de hace años. Si quieres conocer Estambul como un local, este es tu tour!

Zana es una persona muy agradable que nos trató excelentemente y adaptó el Tour a nuestro nivel de conocimiento sobre la ciudad y las costumbres turcas. Creo que ofrece un recorrido diferente que se sale un poco de todo aquello que se visita habitualmente cuando se va a Estambul, explorando rincones que quizás no explorarías en una visita corta. Visita relajada, en la que hubo tiempo hasta para sentarse a tomar un té
