SCAM - YOU DON’T SEE BURSA AT ALL! READ THE OTHER REVIEWS FROM OTHER BURSA TOURS BECAUSE THEY’RE ALL THE SAME COMPANY!

C_S, Sep 2024

DO NOT TRUST THE REVIEWS BELOW. This company is the same as the ones conducting the Bursa day “tours” with terrible reviews on Viator. This “tour” is basically a scam to get you to spend money at tourist traps which is apparently common for these day tours to Bursa from Istanbul. We started around 30 mins later than expected. It was 9:30 am by the time everyone has been picked up but there were also some passengers that were asked to move to a different bus because there were too many people (which required us to stop for a few mins). The activity description says that the group size is 25. However, on the day we had 38. It was a 1 hour bus ride to the ferry terminal, 40 mins ferry ride and another hour to reach the first stop - an ATV/safari (600-1000 liras) where you have to pay to participate or wait around for an hour. Second stop was a Turkish delight shop (it was barely a factory but literally a shop with Turkish delights and baklava like what you see in Istanbul already) - wasted 40 mins here. Third stop was a tiny jam shop - wasted another 20 mins. Fourth stop was a rushed 15 min photo op with an old tree. Fifth stop was “lunch” at 4pm where we were rushed to finish our meal within 20 mins and barely got a bathroom break. Mind you, it was nearly 5pm and we haven’t even reached any meaningful stops in Uludağ or Bursa yet. Sixth stop was finally in Uludağ but there’s nothing to see or do unless you pay again in cash to ride a chairlift to the top (350 liras in cash) for another photo op (which gives you probably 10-15 mins max at the top). Otherwise, you wait around for 40 mins. Seventh stop was finally the cable car ride which lasted 10 mins max. Eighth stop was a silk shop where we wasted another 40 mins and was told to go to the green mosque ourselves if we wanted to. Don’t bother going on this tour. The lunch is fixed and if you want to try Iskender which is what Bursa is famous for, don’t even bother expecting to try it. The “lunch” was chicken kofte with no other options. Everything was pre-made for you to literally sit down, eat and go to the bathroom within 20 mins. We spent more time on the bus and these tourist traps than actual Bursa/Uludağ. Don’t waste your time and money. The guide wasn’t even Turkish - the local Turkish person with us was very upset that she couldn’t even talk to him in Turkish. We got back to Istanbul just after 10pm. Between these stops you’re just on the bus driving for 30mins-2 hours. Bring food and water since you won’t have a chance to eat until around 4pm. You might also only get 2-3 bathroom breaks so be prepared. If I was travelling with friends or family, I’d do it differently and either get a private tour or drive there. You don’t see Bursa or Uludağ at all - not the city centre, not the beautiful sites you see online, you won’t even be able to try Iskender. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
