Uludag is amazing. Too many trinket stops - Uludag is amazing. The tour guys worked hard and were very pleasant. The only downside is the unending stops to hawk ATV trips, Jam, honey, trinkets etc. we understand the cost is subsidized but all these stops turned a 8 hour trip into 15 hours.

Arrogant guide and scam - Very poor and arrogant guide. Only take stops and different stops to sell stuff. Its been 7 hours since we have left the hotel and haven't reached the main attractions at bursa. Guide is extremely rude and arrogant and even ignores when you ask something. Not recommended!

Disorganized and Disappointing: More of a Shopping Tour Than an Uludağ Experience - We were told to be in the lobby at 8:20 AM, but the pickup was delayed by 30 minutes—time we could have spent having breakfast. The itinerary mentioned lunch, but it never happened. Instead, we were told we’d have “lunch” at 6 PM, which is far too late for such a long journey. When we told the guide we were hungry, he simply said we could grab sandwiches at Uludağ. Unfortunately, once there, the rushed schedule left no time for us to eat. When we did manage to buy a quick sandwich, the guide seemed dismissive, likely due to time pressure. Near the top of Uludağ, we were overcharged €20 for two sahleps, which was shocking. While this isn’t the fault of the tour provider, they could have given us a heads-up about prices or recommended reliable places to stop. Overall, this tour felt less like a true Uludağ experience and more like a gift-shopping tour, as so many of the stops were at shopping areas instead of historic or scenic locations. For example, we were brought to the Green Mosque during prayer time, so we couldn’t even visit its interior. The ATV tour was decent but overpriced, and the optional cable car ride we paid for turned out to be unnecessary. The bus drove to the top anyway, and given the poor weather, the cable car added no value to the experience. Additionally, the inclusion of just one meal for such a long journey is insufficient. Transparency about the tour’s itinerary and focus is severely lacking. Had we known most stops would involve shopping, we would never have booked this tour. To make matters worse, I found the behavior of the tour guide unprofessional. At one point, I overheard him using inappropriate language when speaking to his colleagues, calling them orospu çocuğu. This was completely unacceptable and left a very negative impression. While I understand the weather is beyond their control, the organization of the tour was chaotic and poorly planned. I’m giving two stars, but the overall experience was deeply disappointing. A clearer itinerary, better communication, and more respect from the guide would have made a big difference.

Horrible Experience - A very horrible tour experience i must say. The guide was the worst thing about this tour, he was very arrogant and stubborn. The tour guide was in it for the money as he stopped at 5 preselected shops and forced us to buy from them. We started the tour at 9 am and got to eat lunch at 6 pm. We went to bursa after 9 hours. And were left to explore for only 40 minutes. The only good thing about this tour was that it ended...

Pathetic Experiance - Trip was extremely pathetic, I paid 42 Euros and cable car was included in my package but later i was told during the trip that cable car is not included in my package which was totally disappointing for me. Some of the other visitors with me who paid 21 Euros but still availed the cable car in their package.
