Reviews
Bursa was amazing!! and Istanbul also. It had been my dream to visit here for a long time. The tour schedule was amazing and gave me enough time to see everything. The one place I loved going to the most was Hagia Sophia. Man!! what an architectural specimen. The tour guide was a good lad. He never rushed me through a place. The cruise was also good. I highly recommend ilink to everyone.
