day trip to Bursa - A very long day with a lot of shopping stops. Overall really worth the money. The cable car ride from the mountain top to the city center of Bursa is an once in a life time experience. The Green Mosque area is very pretty and tranquille. I would rather pay more money for the trip and skip the shopping stops.

An unforgettable excursion - Our trip to Bursa was really wonderful. Our guide was very informative and took care of us at all times. Everything was beautifully arranged throughout the tour. It was an unforgettable experience to take in the landscape by cable car. It was also a delight to see the historic sites and taste the local flavors. We had a full day and were very pleased with everything. We will definitely remember this trip

Bursa day trip - Very long day with the morning dedicated to picking up people and getting to Bursa via shopping stop/ optional track riding which are both time consuming . Afternoon is in Uludag national park with standard cable car included and optional ski lift to the top of the mountain ( worth the extra if guide gives you enough time ) then sites in Bursa ( sultans tombs ) and transfer home arriving very late evening/night. Afternoon and return journey which included ferry ( not always available ) made the trip worth wile if not very long - Morning was disappointing and would have paid more to miss the 1st 2 stops or had them shorter

Had higher expectations of the trip - The positives
Amazing view of the city coming down on the cable car.
Driver and tour guys were very nice, respectful gents
The negatives
Faulty air conditioning in the bus.
Terrible time management and organization from pick-up to drop-off. I was dropped at my hotel at 1:30am
Lots of shopping, very likely, commission-based stops.
I was expecting more of history and tale story of the first capital of the ottoman empire, but there wasn’t much of that.

Total disaster!! - I reserved a day trip to Bursa my hotel was in the European side which I was reading that they don’t pick up at the Asian side only by point of meeting, I was communicating with the travel agency a day before to make sure I was confirmed, well they left me they were at a total different place and they want me to travel to some unfamiliar location I double check my info in the reservation to make sure there were no mistake and I was correct! they were supposed to pick me up at the hotel but never did I’m very disappointed one star because at least there were very fast in trying to refund me. NEVER USE THEM AGAIN!!
