Reyan met us at our Sultanahmet based hotel and as we walked to the Grand Bazar, we stop at an oriental rug dealer and learned much about Turkish rugs and what makes them a work of art.  The walk through of the Grand Bazar and the 4000 shops inside was mind boggling.  I could not understand how Reyan found her way through it but she stopped at some of the most interesting and sometimes the oldest shops.  But the highlight was Reyan&#39;s leading us through what must the oldest part of the Grand Bazar where artisans were taking over what must have been the original three hundred year old (or more) part of the bazar.  Absolutely fascinating.  The spice market was another great education followed a by a ferry ride to Kadikoy for an outside lunch at a great restaurant.  Reyan was a great guide to a fascinating cultual side of Istanbul.

We were quite happy to see Suleyman waiting for us in our Sultanahmet hotel to start our tour.  He gave us an introduction to Islam as we prepared to visit two of the most important mosques in the Moslem world.  The tour of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia and learning about their history was amazing.  Suleyman found a great restaurant with an outside patio and we had a great lunch.  The only way to top the morning tour was to visit to the Topkapi Palace and to learn of the Sultans&#39; lives, history and lifestyle.  Suleyman knew every detail about the palace.

The Istiklal Street Tour with Suleyman was a great way to start our visit to Istanbul.  This was our first Istanbul tour and all five of us were dealing with jet lag of either a 9 or 10 hour time difference.  Thus, a casual walk down Istiklal Street with Suleyman who was so knowledgeable of the history was a great start.  The tour had a great finish with a refreshment stop at a roof top terrace giving us a great view of all of Istanbul.
