This tour was a wonderful experience. Our guide had extensive knowledge of the area. She customized the tour to accommodate all of our request. She also was able to assist us with transportation and other needs in the area. I would highly recommend using her for any services in Bursa or Turkey.
Dear Jennifer, Thank you for your great review. l wish you have a great stay in Turkey. And hope to meet again one day. All the best, Emine
Our family had a private day tour of Bursa with Emine. Communication with her prior to the tour was pretty good. Emine showed up on time on the day of tour. We found her to be quite friendly, knowledgeable, and warm. Her English and communication skills were awesome. We had decided places of interest in advance. Emine let us took us our time and was on pace with us throughout the day. She was quite knowledgeable about each place and demonstrated historical facts in details. Best part, she took us to shopping which was a high on our list! Overall, Emine was fabulous.
