Bursa trip - Overall ok, a few un-neccessary stops/activities, such as quad biking, at the beginning of the trip. Trip was overall a good experience. Highlight was cable car ride.

Average package and not recommending - I am giving only average because 1 day trip is not enough in Bursa. You should be staying in Bursa for atleast 1-2 days. The tour is missing some nice places and allowing only very less time at good places. Instead they are taking you and spending more time in places like buggy ride , some art shop, Turkish delight factory, where they benifit more than they allow you to experience Bursa.

It is like shopping tour. - The tour itinerary was not worth. It is like shopping tour instead sight seeing tour. It was long journey and too many hours in the bus. There was nothing much to see. However the tour guide work hard to take us so many places but not worth.

Too long and a bit boring - The guide was good, yet the trip was way too long with almost half the trip spent on the bus to get from one place to another. The time spent in the places we visited was too short compared to the trip duration.

Not worth the money - This is overpriced compared with other online travel agencies. The pick up time was delayed and pick up place was not the same as confirmed location. Too many shopping stops which were not listed in itinerary. Not enough time for each visiting place.

Too many stops at shops, too long a trip - The trip was very disappointing, we were on the coach and ferry and in 5 hours the only stops we made were to a Turkish Delight Shop, a jam shop and to see an ancient tree. The shops were not on the internary when we booked, if I wanted to go shopping I would go to the baazar. The lunch was very poor, they took our drinks away before we had finished and the food was poor quality. The stops at the destinations were too long, culminating in a 13 hour day. The guide is informative but information overload, the brain switches off.

Bad Tour Company - “We Go Turkiye Travel” and Viator
This is a complete waste of my time
and money. From 7:45 am until 23.00 I spent most of my time sitting in the bus not seeing what I wanted to see as per itinerary that listed in my tour list. The tour guide Omar Celik is unprofessional and unbecoming of a tour guide and focused only on taking us to retail outlets where we spent more time than allotted. The Itinerary is not the same as posted when I purchased the tour. This is a scam. Viator should check for good tours company on their website.This is totally unacceptable.
I have booked many tours with Viator without any problems. If tour company can’t full fill the itinerary they selling, they should cancel the tour and not put you with another group that have a different itinerary and expectations. This did not happen as we expected based on the itinerary. I am still waiting for respond from Viator and the tour company “We Go Turkiye Travel”
