Free walking tours in Bursa

Fatih is an amazing tour guide who made us fall in love with Bursa and Turkiye. From the very beginning, he showed us the hidden jewels of the city that most tourists miss. His knowledge of history is truly impressive. While exploring the New Museum and the iconic Grand Mosque (Ulu Camii), Fatih provided explicit and incredibly interesting explanations that made the past come alive. Walking through the Grand Bazaar, he helped us navigate the culture and the heritage of the silk trade with great expertise. Because of his passion and storytelling, we didn't just see the city - we truly fell in love with the culture and the spirit of Turkiye. The culinary side of the tour was just as spectacular. Fatih led us to incredible food discoveries, including: - The most authentic Iskender Kebab we've ever tasted. - Delicious, traditional Sahlep that was a highlight of our day. - The perfect Turkish Coffee to top it all off. Beyond the tour itself, Fatih was incredibly helpful in telling us about other amazing places to visit across the country. We are already dreaming of our next trip and we hope to come and visit again soon. If you want to truly discover the soul of Bursa and Turkiye, you should do it only with Fatih. He is a master of his craft, and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

Derya is a character and very sharp. He knows how to tune to you. Fresh style. In the end, he expanded the tour to end with a Turkish coffee and gave us the indications a fresh tourist needs. History, daily life and curiosities peppered our tour. Thank you.

El tour empezó puntualmente, con un ritmo de caminata perfecto durante todo el recorrido cual duro 3 horas. Fatih nos guió por las zonas clave de Bursa sin prisas. Para ser un tour a pie "gratuito", la relación calidad-precio fue increíble. Lo que realmente sobresalió fueron las anécdotas de Fatih: pequeñas joyas con encanto que aportaron calidez y profundidad a la experiencia. Recomiendo un tour con Fatih a cualquiera que visite Bursa. Nos ayudó a apreciar la ciudad y lo único que lamentamos es no haberlo hecho antes!

Going on a guided tour with Fatih gave more meaning to the places we visited and gave an overall view which wld have remained buried if we were to explore sans a guide. What more with a guide like Fatih, a local resident and really passionate about sharing his wealth of knowledge with others about Bursa; its historical background and more. Fine details that you wont uncover if you explore sans a guide like Fatih. Highly recommended.

Fatih introduced us to a Bursa rich in culture and history. He is very friendly and interesting. Time just flew by. Thank you, Fatih!

We ended up taking a private tour because there were just four of us (2 adults + 2 kids) . Glad we did! Bursa is such a beautiful city with a great history. Fatih is so knowledgeable and has deep understanding on Turkiye and Bursa history. He is a great story teller, even my teen daughter engaged and listen eagerly to his story. I think a visit to Turkiye is not complete without visiting the birth place of ottoman empire which is Bursa. So glad that we chose to have the private tour so that we can walk it in our own pace. We ended our day with the most delicious kebab with very reasonable price, not the touristy one which I experienced cost me double. My only regret is that due to my late arrival, we couldn't start earlier and cover more places. But Fatih made the best of our time (5 hours but gone by so fast!). He was also care enough to stay with us and make sure that we didn't end up homeless that night 😂 (I forgot to make appointment with my airbnb host on what time my arrival will be). All in all it was a great day in Bursa and thanks to Fatih, we experienced a lot in a very limited time! When in Bursa, go and take a walking tour with him. If possible, a full day private guided tour will give you so much more. Highly recommend!

This was a shorter, one hour presentation of the Bursa walking tour. Concentrating to battle of Bursa it fills the information needs of early Ottoman period. Special thanks for en lighting the ethnic background of the people in that period.

Visitar Bursa con Derya estuvo genial. Recorrimos la historia primero visitando el museo de Bursa que es imperdible y luego recorriendo la ciudad. Derya fue muy claro, preciso y con un muy buen inglés. Sin dudas haría otros tours con Derya

A Tour de force! Great information delivered with infectious enthusiasm - such a depth of knowledge, delivered with warmth, generosity and a knowing sense of humour. Ranged across history, sociology, economics and popular culture in a highly entertaining, thrilling ride. Fatih was great- would highly recommend!

Bursa came alive as soon as fatih said ‘hello’ to us. And then 3 1/2 hours melted away to history and culture. We wanted more and more of fatih. He delivered as a consummate professional would and is. Thank you again for this tour Midge and bob

I had a really nice time during my tour! Deryah is really friendly and knows a lot about the Ottoman empire. He adapted the tour to fit my expectations. We even had time for a coffee break in the middle!

Great tour of Bursa!! Perfect length and number of sites visited. Gained an appreciation for Bursa after the tour. 10/10 recommend!

Fatih did an amazing job touring us around Bursa! He is very passionate about Bursa! He has a great personality and meshed well with the kids. He has excellent knowledge of ottoman history and sites. He was very helpful and helped us buy some things and eat some delicious iskender kabob. In summary , Fatih is great tour guide and highly recommend him!

Fatih was a great and knowledgeable guide. He provided an informative and fun tour for our group. I’d highly recommend joining one of his walking tours when you’re in Bursa.

My man Fatih had the taste and class of not ditching us even though the rest of the group never showed up. My wife and I spent a very nice afternoon with him learning much about the beautiful (and underrated) city of Bursa. Thank you Fatih and good luck! Fernando and Raquel

Excellent tour Derya is very prepared and precessional, and loves his city You could never experience Bursa so deeply and in such an entertaining way without his tour Highly recommended

Amazing tour with a really nice guide! We were very lucky to meet Fatih. He is a passionate guide and an excellent person. It was our very first time in Bursa, so he kindly answered every question.

We had a great time and learnt a lot. He was very friendly and informative. His passion for his hometown was obvious. Highly recommend!

We were with kids but he kept the information interesting so even the kids were engaged. Also he recommended good places for us to shop from and to visit later on. The walking path he chose was quite manageable even with the kids. His style was fun and engaging and it never let us feel bored. For us it was the perfect way to get to know and see the city of Bursa

In just 3 hours, Derya Fatih managed to explain the Ottoman history and at the same bringing us to all the important historical sites.
