This was by far the most enjoyable trip I’ve had in Turkey. I’d definitely recommend it every part of the day was fantastic.The cable car ride was absolutely worth it those panoramic views were stunning!
A wonderful experience with excellent service. We visited many beautiful places and the company officials were also very interested and followed up with us to make sure that we were comfortable on our trip. The team were very cooperative and definitely recommend them.
We felt completely safe throughout the tour and the children really enjoyed themselves. Staff were very helpful, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Everything was perfectly arranged.
The Bursa–Uludağ day tour began well, with a friendly guide and clear itinerary. However, lunch was underwhelming, offering only yogurt drinks or mineral water. The main disappointment occurred at Inkaya Tarihi Çınar, where we were coerced into buying poor-quality photos for an excessive price. While some souvenir stops were acceptable, the return journey was extremely unpleasant. The guide neglected to manage noise on the bus, leaving exhausted passengers without a chance to rest. Overall, the trip did not meet expectations and left a lasting negative impression, despite some enjoyable moments.
I joined a one-day Bursa–Uludağ trip that started well. The guide was friendly and explained the itinerary clearly, and the early part of the journey felt smooth and enjoyable. Lunch was acceptable, though the drink options were disappointing. The experience turned bad at Inkaya Tarihi Çınar, where we were pushed into buying low-quality photos and felt pressured to pay an unreasonable amount. Some souvenir stops were fine, but the return trip was unpleasant because the guide ignored noisy children, making it impossible for everyone to rest. Overall, the trip became memorable for all the wrong reasons.
The journey from Istanbul to Bursa Uludag was very comfortable and efficient. Uludag Mountain is famous for being very snowy and our children loved it. Place with wonderful nature worth seeing and definitely recommend.
Very informative and comfortable tour. Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this company.
From start to finish, the tour was a perfect blend of cultural exploration and natural beauty. The cable car ride with breathtaking panoramic views, and once atop the mountain, the snow-covered landscapes were nothing short of magical. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone seeking a perfect blend of cultural immersion and natural wonders.
This trip exceeded my expectations, guide was very clear with communication and well organised. We had great fun and the tour itself is value for money. Very nice day getaway from Istanbul and definitely recommend to anyone without hesitate.
Very impressed with great service and for us definitely recommend to anyone looking for Bursa Uludağ mountain tour. On our trip we headed Bursa by ferry ride, boarded with our bus and on the way explored some local markets tasting regional products. The most thing I liked was the cable car upto the mountain and lunch was given on the skirts of the mountain. Make sure have a good breakfast before leave your hotel and wear warm clothes for the snow :)
