At the indicated time, we'll meet in front of the old Corculu Ali Pasha Madrasah religious school. Once we're all together, we'll make our way to the Süleymaniye Mosque, one of the biggest mosques in Istanbul. As we walk, we'll learn about some of the lesser-known customs in the daily lives of the city's citizens.
Have you ever wondered what a Turkish wedding is like? Or how popular religion is? What the lifestyle is like? On this free tour of Istanbul, all of these interesting facts will be answered, offering a clear view of what the city is really like.
In addition, during the tour, we'll make our way to a couple of the attractions that are not often visited by tourists, such as Beyazit Square, the Book Market and the University.
After 2.5 hours, we'll say our goodbyes and bring this activity to an end near Suleymaniye Mosque, 10 minutes from the Spices Market and the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul.
If you take the tour on a Friday, the Süleymaniye Mosque will not be visited. Instead, the Nuruosmaniye Mosque will be visited.
