Known as the Royal Springs, Bursa's renowned hot mineral waters have been popular since Byzantine and Roman times. Fed by magnesium, calcium and sulfur-rich thermal springs, the 700-year old baths were built in the time of Sultan Murat I. The beautifully ornate Yeni Kaplica bath dates back to 16th century.

An excellent private tour by Neon Tours. Our guide, Ozcan (a university professor), was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. The pacing was perfect and with the tranfers and lunch provided, this really was the best (and most reasonable) way to see the main sights of Istanbul. I followed previous reviewers and declined the visits to the spice and rug shops. Skip the Grand Bazaar (a most disappointing maze of knock-off merchandise) and shop down the local streets which have many charming quality items you actually do want to buy.

I have used the services of Turista Travel previously on my trips to Turkey. This time I wished to have a personal experience in the old city. Davut assisted me to organise a full day private tour of the old city. I must say the guide was excellent and I have a great day. As always their service was friendly, efficient and reasonably priced. Thank you Turista for your excellent service.

There are many tourist agencies in Goreme-Cappadocia but without a doubt it was a success to arrive and coordinate everything with them. The attention and customer service offered is perfect, we just entered the office and Shahin was very helpful and invited us a delicious tea. We agreed to do the Green and the red tour with them, everything was perfectly agreed, we left punctual and the guides were excellent, the tours are full day, discovering and knowing about the history of the area, with lunch included. We had a pleasure of meeting Mehmet, who is the owner of the agency, a very kind person who perfectly understands travelers. Also we recommend taking the classic car tour for sunrise, that was a big win and amazing sunrise. Many thanks to Stoneland for providing excellent service, the tours are of quality without a doubt that if you visit Goreme-Cappadocia I recommend 100% this agency.
