It was an enjoyable trip with green and nature.
I joined bursa day tour with my family. It was very good but I have a little disapoint because they did not make any discount for my childeren. They told me that if make discount we will not bale to provide meals and seat for your child that's why ı had to pay for them too. I was not able to carry them on my lap. Overall, service was fine and they were on time for everything.
It was excellent for me and my family!.... We had joined and enjoy the trip, It was nice trip, recommend to every one.
I liked the trip, especially the cable car ride and the market. It was organized very well. Would totally recommend it for travelers who want to see something beyond Istanbul.
