History of Nicaea/İznik and Bursa - My brother and I were honoured to be the first customers of this tour given by Yusef and Sabit; therefore, it was just us, so we were very lucky. Yusef was the driver and Sabit was the guide. It was a packed day where we stopped at ancient Roman and Byzantine sites and the Ruins of St. Neophytos Basilica with a small 'museum' with some interesting relics. Sabit is very knowledgeable about the history and religious significance of those sites, including the little Hagia Sophia, Basilica ruins, palace ruins, and ancient city walls. Although I didn't appreciate the 'joke' about women and myself being untrustworthy... but hope it was in the spirit of 'fun' over anything else. We then stopped off at an old medresesi, which is now a tile workshop area, and saw the artists undertaking their crafts. Then we went to Bursa, the old Ottoman capital, where we had a delicious, full lunch of soup starter, Bursa kebab, and flan for dessert; the restaurant they selected was great because it had wonderful décor and amazing views of the city. We also appreciated that our guides were fasting during Ramadan yet still made provisions for our lunch. We then visited an old Ottoman bath house, tombs of Ottoman founding fathers, the Grand Mosque, and the Green Mosque before stopping off at Tophane Square and Koza Han to wander around the silk market for a short while. We skipped the cable car tour, which was a shame, but the day was already jam-packed with visits to various sites and it would have been too long a day for everyone to include the cable car; I think that if you want to prioritise the cable car, it will have to be at the expense of other activities. But it's great that it is an option. Overall, I'd give this tour 5 stars and I would definitely recommend, as the guides were highly knowledgeable and you get to see and understand more of Turkey's history, especially for those interested in such history. Thank you both!
