Overall good - The tour was good, however we did not go with a ferry. It was a bus trip to Bursa. The description is misleading. We were grouped based on location, as expats we were grouped with saudi arabia and could not understand the tour guide as he spoke in Arabic. He tried to communicate in English but it was limited.

An interesting adventure with poor execution - The overall trip wasn't that bad. But part when you are supposed to look for landscapes while traveling with bus were disrupted with so loud music that guide was playing. Whole trip was in Arabic even that I have declared that I don't speak it. Music was way too loud, crackled from the speakers, every single played song was Arabic and half of the people inside the bus screamed all the way, when trying to sing. We were late back by almost 3 hours. Besides that mountain was really nice experience. But again we missed some points of interest that we were supposed to visit such as Green Mosque. But our guide make sure we will visit 4 different shops "With no pricetags on any item" that made us just waste bunch of time (Shop with 30 different types of jams, way too overpriced - seriously?).
