Fantastic 5.0
Unfortunately, on the day of the tour, it rained all morning. The journey to Bursa was hampered by traffic jams around the Bosphorus Gate. Lunch was quite delicious, especially the lamb and chicken. At Uludağ Mountain Ski Resort, the cable car was apparently closed for safety reasons. Furthermore, our travel guide only gave us one hour, which was too short.

Great 4.0
Everything was amazing! Lunch was skipped which was not expected, but we had dinner instead. The travel to and fro is quite lengthy. We left the hotel at 8:30am and only reached back at the hotel at 12:30am, it was really tiring so be prepared. Customers from the old town to bound to be picked up first, hence spent 2 hours just to pick up people in the new town and drop them off.

A very practical package that doesn't require queuing. You can enter and visit directly, saving time and convenience. For Topkapi Palace, just go to the designated meeting point, and a guide will lead you. It's very smooth, and the audio guide is also reasonably clear. Recommended!

Baris was the best! Super informative, patient, and full of great energy — we managed to see so many beautiful spots in just a few hours. It felt like exploring the city with a friend who knows all its secrets!

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.

Our tour guide Hasan was excellent and he did a great job of highlighting the amazing Troy site with stories and historical facts. The travel from Istanbul was long but we knew that ahead of time and so it was no problem. recommended for people who would like these types of tours!
