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! :)
Tour description
Do you want to see the jewels of Istanbul while contemplating the local life of the city? :)
We are going to visit:
1. Yeni Camii (F. 1597, one of the emblematic mosques of the city, just passing through.)

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.)
