Hi everyone, Im Melike, who has grown up in Bursa province. Im 33years old, a dentist who gave up her job for another career plan. For few months i have a lot of spare time so i thought why i dont organize any free walking tours;) My hobbies are traveling, photography, hiking, camping and swimming. I can show you Bursa and make you feel like a local person. Besides i can give advises for the other regions of Turkey. Im also an open minded traveler( generally i like traveling solo) so i think we can get along well. If you want to visit Cumalikizik village in Bursa, i can arrange transportation and tour there too with a price if im available. Hope to see you soon 😊

Tour description

Did you know that Bursa is the capital city of İskender kebaps? And also the first capital city of Ottoman Empire? So we have a lot of historical places in the city which also has a lot of beautiful natural places to see. Would you like to discover it with me?

In this free guided tour you will discover the main attractions at the city centre such as:

  • Ulu Camii(Mosque)
  • Koza Han
  • Yeşil Türbe
  • Irgandı Bridge
  • Kapalı Çarşı(Grand Bazaar)
  • Cumhuriyet Caddesi(Avenue)
  • Tophane(city view)
  • Orhan Gazi, Osman Gazi Türbesi

I can give you some advises where local people eats etc. Also if you have any other information about touristic places in Bursa I can help you. 
Useful information for walkers:

  1.  For visiting inside of Ulu Mosque women should bring scarfs and also suitably dressed(not short skirts or shorts).
  2. If we have enough time, we may enjoy Kozahan with Turkish coffee.


PS. Since i am interested in photography i can give you tips and take your photos. Also i have a traditional surprise for you in the tour.

I really wanted to visit Bursa and Cumalikizik and as I was traveling solo, I really didn’t know how I’d do it. Melike made all my dreams come true. For 2 days, she made sure I not only got an amazing tour of beautiful Bursa, but she took me to all the little cities I wanted to visit. Her tour includes the history of everywhere we went, her personal experiences as a resident, and the transportation. Even before we met, she helped me to pick a hotel, to choose how I’d get to Bursa, boat or bus, and was reliably on time picking me up. It felt like we were friends, and now I do have a best friend in Turkey. I highly recommended Melike! Go to beautiful Bursa, only 1.50 hrs from Istanbul. There is so much to learn!!! teşekkür ederim

I had a very great time with Melike! She is a passionate and knowledgeable guide who loves Bursa very much. I had amazing local experiences with her and it wasn’t like a walk with a guide but with an old friend instead! Hope to walk again with Melike sometimes in the future. Cheers!
