They only take you to one mosque, which is free to visit anyway and then that is the end of the tour

It was great! The guide was amazing and very friendly! However, I was the only one in my group who had the half-day tour, so the guide didn't take me to the Grand Bazaar, I had to go on my own, but the other attractions were amazing.
