A wonderful day with my daughter. - Bursa was amazing, its views and scenery were spectacular, I would take the tour again in winter to see the trees covered by snow.

Nice trip but.... - It was overall a good trip, I just thought there was a little too much emphasis at trying to sell us stuff at the various retail spots. Also beware of the quad bike stop, don't have any pictures taken, they will try to rip you off.

Alpine day near Istanbul - We visited all the places on the advice plus the ferry on our return. Overall good transportation, BBQ good but at 17h30 a little bite late. The guide maned the place to buy , sometimes to visit , but usually we had to do things by ourselves. So prepare what you want to visit, read about it and as us you will have fun because the driver was perfect. Lack of organisation: please give the right place and time for meeting after each activities so everybody will be on time including the guide! Be careful…don’t plane activities after your return because of the traffic you can have surprises… we arrived past midnight. Bursa is a surprising city…. Very different than other cities near Istanbul. We loved the green mosque and mausoleum, small but shining like an emerald…the old tree (620y old) gave us hope …

Glorified shopping trip (Think Asia) - It is a glorified shopping trip. We spent an hour at several tourist trap shops, where it was evident that tourist desire irrelevant (very Asia where they drive you to their vendors before where you want to go). The snow field we were given an hour tops, and all the timeframes in itinerary are not accurate. The tour part wasn't even talked about, and was we will stop here. Out of the 15 hours we had an hour and half of what we expected. No guided walk or discussion at all. The worst part of our four week holiday.

The only redeeming factor of this tour is that they sort out the transport logistics for you. - 1. Hotel pickup: We were, in fact, not picked up at our hotel, but instead had to walk 5/7 minutes to the truck. We were also 'picked up' approximately 25/30 minutes later than stipulated. 2. The tour guide does not have the level of English proficiency one would expect when working as a tour guide provider. 3. The tour guide (perhaps associated with their struggle to communicate effectively) was rude and impatient whenever anyone asked him a clarifying question regarding the itinerary. 4. The tour operator had clearly not done their homework, as they didn't inform the elderly guests that the cable car was not going to be operational, which meant that people with limited mobility were not able to go up the mountain. 5. Poor planning was pervasive from beginning to end. One of the worst parts of this tour was that they take you to average shops (where they receive a commission) and force you to stay there at each one for anywhere between 20 and 30 minutes. However, when you reach the actual relevant highlights of Bursa, such as the old three or the tombs, you are rushed to see them. As the title suggests, the only redeeming factor is that you don't have to figure out the transportation arrangements

ok - The shuttle was comfortable but the pickup time alone took about 2 hours. We were given 30 minutes to explore the silk market, green mosque and green tomb when the activity page said about 2 hours for all three. The tour guide dropped us off without pointing us in the direction of the sites so definitely do your own background research before choosing this tour; there was little if any explanation about Bursa during the tour. A good tour for nature lovers and shoppers but not for those interested in history.

Not worth it - Don't take this tour. Lost day. Not recommended at all. They pick us up at 8 am and we are two hours around Istanbul picking up people. In the activity I said we went some time by ferry but we are taken all the time by bus. At the first stop for a quad bike ride the bus parks in a bell and runs aground. We're half an hour late because they have to take him out with a bulldozer. After a 45min stop in a shop for us to buy different Turkish products we leave for the climb to the cable car which is another hour drive away. They take us to lunch after 5.30pm. From there they take us to another jam shop and we finally arrive in Bursa at night and right at the time of the prayer, so we do not see the green mosque either on the outside or inside. Alternatively we have the option to enter a souvenir shop again. From here we return to Istanbul, arriving at the hotel around 11pm, having been on the bus for about 10 hours.
