A Full Day Traveling to Bursa for Cable Car - If you want an affordable bus ride outside of the city to see some things, I highly recommend. We paid extra (700 lira each) to do the ski lift option before we went to the cable cars. We enjoyed it although it was crowded and you will have deal with some entitled people that want to cut in front of people to save time in getting back down the ski lift. The bus also took our group to a coffee,tea,candy, and Turkish Delights store. Lots of buses bring people here. It's clearly an organized thing where many companies contract to herd their bus full of people here for hard sales. But the products are well laid out. If you're in the market to buy, this may be your place. We also had lunch at a restaurant in the mountains.
First I want to say that our guide did a perfectly fine job from gathering people from hotels around the city. I witnessed this since we were the first pick up. He spoke multiple languages to the group. It is obvious that with all the stops that he had a tough job.
We had two families in our group that reported back over an hour late at the ski lift stop. This really screwed up our next two stops. The guide let the families know how disrespectful and rude they were to the rest of us for doing that. It was actually refreshing to watch because in the US, most people are scared to hold people accountable. We thought it was great and hope the guide is not held accountable for the thougtlessness of others.
Because of this, we rode the cable car (the main attraction if the trip) in darkness. I couldn't imagine the views in the daylight. But I know we'll be going back to see it.

Not worth the price - Nothing special, personally i dont think its worth the price. No historical places visited. Only visited stores for shopping. Extra expensive payment for the cable cars to go to the mountain top but then theres nothing special too there, only snow. Cable car included in the package is for the big one but thats also i dont find it special as it was already dark so cant see anything.

Not everyones trip - Did not spend alot of time in Bursa.. this trip more tourist pit stop ( ATV ride, food stop).. long waits for people to get back to bus… actual tour starts from lunch around 2pm then top of mountian ski slopes, then cable car ride down, lastly bursa green mouque ( 30 min each place) . Would have wanted to spend more time at green mosque area… lots of things to explore.. pick up was 8:30 am… arrive hotel 8:30pm

Would have done something different . Not worth the money - 1) no where did it say to bring a passport glad I had photos of it
2) tour was not informative of things around . “There is 600 year old tree. You may go up if u want or not.”
3) no historical information
4) no where said we be able to go snow mobiling or any other activity after cable car.
5) points of locations were just hotspots to purchase things from shops affiliated

Worse trip ever had - It is shopping tour rather than trip that you will experience new activities or see snow etc..
They made dozens of stops to local shops and keep promoting to buy something from them
Basically 9 hours spend on stoping in shops that sells honey jam clothes turkish delights 2 hours driving 1 hour cable car experience.
This trip is so long and boring that makes you wish you return your hotel after 2 hours from starting.

Good if you like tourist traps - I would not recommend this tour. It is more of a glorified shopping experience with two stops that are nice (the mountain and the green mosque) than a proper tour to bursa. We had two more stops than was shown in the itinerary, both at places to just sell is stuff. We were only told about the fact that the cable car was broken 10 hours into the trip, which was not a welcome suprise. So if you like shopping this might be nice, but if you would like to see the mountain and spend some time in Bursa i cannot in good faith recommend this tour. (By the way at all te stops there were multiple other groups, so i expect this to be the case for all bursa tours)

Terrible - First we get on the bus and the guide sends a message on whatsapp that our regular guide is in the hospital and he will be our guide for the day. That would have been ok except he doesn't speak any English so the entire tour we know nothing about what's going on. Then he takes us to an activity that we have to pay additionally for which later on we realized was optional but again because of the language barrier we had no idea. While on the ATV's another ATV hits us because they were given one with faulty breaks.
The guide expected others in the group to translate but they weren't accurate with the translation and they only told us what they choose to. Then we were told the cable car was closed due to weather which is understandable but they said we would do the chairlift instead. That was confusing because we were sitting on freezing cold chairs and windy conditions in the rain going up the mountain as opposed to a cable car where we would have at least been enclosed. We were given a few minutes to warm up before heading down the mountain. We get there and were not able to get on the bus right away. Once we did, we asked the driver to turn on the heat and he mocked us about being cold.
Ultimately, it felt as if they were just going to try to fill the day with something because they did not want to issue a refund. In addition all of this is also after 2 days prior they sent us a message asking if we wanted to reschedule due to cable car maintenance which we agreed to in order to take the cable car which as I stated we never did.
