Cappadocia is awesome - The entire trip to Bursa was amazing. The snow and the ride up the mountain by cable car was fantastic. A memorable and not to be missed experience.

Uludag, Bursa adventure tour - I had a pleasure to actually get to see the Uludag mountains in the winter.
The chair lift and cable car were lots of fun.
I would recommend this one day tour to anyone with limited time to be in Istanbul.

Not recommended - Very bad experience. We went to bursa to see snow ❄️ on uludag. We spent a hole day from 9am to 10pm doing nothing, but visiting local shops. A hole day of marketing there local products such as jam, tea, soap, Turkish delight, and textiles. We had only an hour on the snow ❄️. We were disappointed and tired of being in the bus for nothing, just only driving from shop to another. 👎👎👎

Too many unnecessary stops and time wasting. Time spent on the mountain is minimal. - We wanted to take a tour to Bursa & Uludag mountain me and my wife so we booked this tour.
They picked us with a small van from the hotel early morning after waiting for them in the lobby for more than 45 minutes but that was ok since Istanbul is a busy city with lots of traffic.
Then they dropped us at the meeting point (the tour agency office in Taksim). We waited for like 25 minutes so everyone arrived and then we boarded the bus and started the tour.
Our first stop was not in the schedule and it was at an ATV rental place. The guide was pushing everyone to rent an ATV.
They said we get to see tunnels from world war 1 and we get 45 minutes for 2000 TL for a small one and 3000 TL for a big one. We decided to take the small one. We started the tour but our ATV stopped working and we got another one quickly.
Less than 10 minutes after the start, they made us stop to take a 25 minutes rest!!!!. I argued with the leader that we paid for 45 minutes on ATV and not resting but he didn't speak english.
After 25 minutes, we went back to the starting point where they try to sell you pictures they took of you on the ATV which we didn't buy obviously.
Ah yes, there was no tunnels too.
We moved to the next stop which was a lukum and herbs shop. we spent here around 40 minutes and tried some of their products. Then we continued our trip and again stopped at a jam place. The place was so packed that we didn't go inside and just waited outside.
After that we went to have lunch. They served us cabbage and carrots in a plate and then a mixed grill platter.
We headed then to Uludag mountain. It was around 4:00 pm. We were given the option to take a telesiege to the top of the mountain.
The guide said it is 10 minutes up, 10 minutes photos and 10 minutes down. We decided to opt for this option since we were taking the cable car. We took a short walk around the area and came back so we are not late.
we ended up waiting for more than an hour until everyone came back. We went to the cable car. I thought it will take us to the top of the mountain and then down but it was taking us to Bursa where we will wait for the bus.
After that we stopped at an old hammam converted into a shop and next to a mosque. we had some free time to walk around.
The bus then headed back to Istanbul taking a ferry for 25 minutes.
At the end, we were dropped at the main road and had to walk to the hotel around 11:00 pm.
We tried to enjoy our time during this tour despite all the time wasting and bad time management.
My advice for people wanting to enjoy the mountain and snow is take public transport and plan your trip accordingly; better than wasting your day with bits and pieces of random unnecessary things.
And if you decide to take such tours, don't pay anything extra like ATV because it is a rip-off.

Not worth it find another option to reach the mountain. - The mountain was nice everything else was not. The driver was 40 minutes late for pickup. Instead of the morning ferry we were rushed to an extra activity some ATV’s where we spend until mid day. Instead of visiting Bursa we went to a jam store. They don’t follow the itinerary, but a hidden agenda of extra payed activities and stores. Be ready to spend the majority of the day either at a shop or the bus. And after a long wasted day be patient for them to wash the bus in an additional stop at a gas station in Bursa because it is way cheaper than Istanbul.
