Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
The hotels bc provided were excellent, my only wish is having an English channel for visitors that are non Turkish speaking except for the last night, Movenpick in Bursa had an English Channel. The tour was great and so is our tour guide and our experienced driver who kept us all safe everyday.
