Planning to Istanbul 2

I have contacted several other agents, 2 based in Malaysia and 4 based in Istanbul.  The 2 travel agents based in Malaysia could not fulfil my requirements in terms of budget and private tour.  They could only offer me sit in coach which means I have to travel with other travellers (It would be a hassle for me since I am travelling with family and need to follow strictly the tour schedule).  Meanwhile, the other 2 travel agents based in Istanbul did not even reply my request for quotation. One more travel agent based in Istanbul gave me their quotation (more expensive) after I have paid the deposit to the agent I have finally chosen.

I have finally chosen  turkeytravelbazzar for the reasons below:

1. They responded to my request promptly
2. They answered all my questions (we corresponded through email a few times - just to clarify my doubts)
3. They offered reasonable price - within the budget set by my big boss
4. They fulfill my request to include Bursa in the tour and 1 day free and easy in Istanbul since they have 6 Days Istanbul Bursa Islamic tour package.
5. The tour they arrange are all private tour
6. They include the link to the hotel we are going to stay
