On the highest peak of turkey! - It was a great tour. I enjoyed the mountain snow, cable ride and the guide. The guide was very but he talked too much unnecessarily inside the bus. So, I think he should be talk less. Otherwise everything was very good I enjoyed a lot. I would recommend everyone to go to the top peak of Ulugudu mountain which costs 150 turkis lira and not more included with the package. Great day it was.

Bursa and Uluddag Tour - Our tour guide is amazing and very helpful although we have to travel to a pick up location and it took a while for the driver to pick us up. The views are amazing from the mountain. The lunch is basic overall great experience.

I do not recommend. The... - I do not recommend. The tour guide was very pushy on making you participate in every moment of the tour. His delivery was very bad and he constantly repeated himself. Also didn't realize the tour was from 9am-10pm at night. And inculded a lot of shopping that I didn't necessarily want to do and was almost shamed for not wanting to purchase honey or jam or other remedies. The sites themselves were really nice. '

Scam. - Arrogant guide.
Uncomfortable bus. Nightclub volume music for over 3 hours. Refuse to turn it down. Bus full of older people.
Driver on his phone the whole time and almost swerved off road. Filmed passengers without consent, filmed his own driving.
Tried to trick us into paying extra to get home the fast way.
Lunch was deep fried and cheap. Not turkish food.
All stops aside from cable car were gift shops, not tourist attractions.
I saw 45min of bursa at night, hardly anything to see by then.
Avoid at all costs.
Scam.
The people are horrible and it was a 15hr waste of time.

Avoid. Scam. - Rude aggressive guide.
Bus driver was filming his driving up the mountain for instagram instead of looking at road nearly swerved off.
Music at nightclub volume for a bus of older people.
All we did was visut gift shops then spent less than 1.5hr actually seeing bursa.
Avoid.
The people running the tour are horrible. Even if they were nice, the tour is not a tour, its a waste of time, a total scam. It was a 15 hour day. They tried to take more money for a return bus trip too but luckily i spoke up and refused so we did not have to pay.
In the last 6 months i have done over 20 trips. This was by far the worst.

Pathetic worse trip - Please give option to review less than one.. They wasted whole day.. I booked this package they even did not call me once.. They did not replied any of my calls.. The bus was 3rd class they took almost 14 hours for the trip & stop bus after every 15 mins for shopping to earn commission from the fixed shop.. Tour should be of hardly 7 hours maximum but they took long 14 hours for their commission guys if u have extra money please donate to poor but please do not book this trip.. Please give my precious day back in istanbul I went there for fun whole day but they exploit our whole day Bcoz of their self Ness..
