Reviews
Our family had a fantastic trip to Bursa and Uludağ, and everything was well-organized from start to finish. We were picked up at 8:00 AM and returned to our hotel at 10:30 PM, making it a full and memorable day. Our tour guide was very friendly and managed the time perfectly. We were delighted to experience snowfall on Uludağ Mountain, which made the day even more special. Throughout the tour, we visited several wonderful places including the ATV area, a Turkish delight factory, the impressive 610-year-old Inkaya Historical Plane Tree, a charming jam shop, and enjoyed a fun chairlift experience. The teleferik ride from Uludağ down to Bursa city was unforgettable, and we also appreciated the visit to the beautiful Green Mosque. We had a great lunch along the way, and overall, it was an amazing, well-planned trip that our whole family truly enjoyed.
It's very convenient to reach another distant city, and you can get plenty of sleep on the journey. We saw many attractions, including magnificent natural landscapes and historical sites. We took lots of beautiful photos, making it a very fulfilling trip!
Our guide - Muhammed Avcı was excellent, had much knowledge and expertise and was very friendly. The bus driver was fun and happy. The trip itself was excellent, we got to see so much and had an enjoyable day.
love the tour and there were 3 shopping places the tour will stop us, some might feel it’s like a tourist trap but I enjoyed the shopping haha
was a great day trip except that some unnecessary stop/visit thus shortened the duration for the highlighted destinations...when we reach bursa city its already almost 6 pm hence we dont have much time to explore the city.. tour guide is fairly good
The main attraction, Uludağ, is definitely recommended and worth the money. At the first stop, we could try ATV riding (extra charge), visit a delight shop, try ski riding (extra USD 70), enjoy the gondola sky view, and open air lift(extra 700 lira per person). At the last stop (Green Tomb and Green Mosque), we didn’t get to visit because we were taken to a shop instead. Lunch was served quite late, almost at dinner time. Overall, the tour was alright. They give you enough time at each spot, which is why the tour is very long.
Overall, a good day.
We were taken to too many shops during the trip and ended up wasting a lot of time there instead of actually enjoying Mt. Uludağ. Because of this, we had very limited time at the mountain — we stayed for a maximum of 45 minutes. We also had to pay an extra 700 Lira to ride the tram. If you don’t pay, you have to stay inside the bus and don’t get to properly enjoy Mt. Uludağ at all. This was not clearly mentioned in the itinerary, which was disappointing. The last destination felt very rushed due to all the time spent at the shops. The overall trip is quite long, and only lunch is provided, so make sure to bring snacks and some extra cash. Additionally, the bus was late in picking us up after the tour in Uludağ, which added to the inconvenienc
Nothing against the guide or driver, but the whole trip needs to be reviewed. More time needs to be allocated for Bursa and Uludag. It's more about shopping than Bursa and Uludag. We wasted time at the unnecessary stops along the way. Lunch also needs to be updated. This is the second time we took this tour in 1 year. Overall the value for money is good, just the time wastage along the way needs to be changed.
An amazing experience, a delightful tour, with a kind and friendly guide named Muhammad. Thank you!
