worst day trip ever for us

jkhan, Sep 2021

For us the tour was a disaster. The tour was in two languages, the guide was poor in english and he explained things in the other language for 2 min and in english for 20 sec. We went to Bursa but did not go to any tombs of the Ottoman kings or any historic mosques. We spent time doing cable car as if they do not exist in the USA or rest of the world. Rest of the time was spent them taking us to sweet shops and spice shops of their choice as if there are no shops in Istanbul or the rest of the Turkey. What a waste of a whole day.

Keep looking! 1. The tour was...

Tamara W, Jan 2017

Keep looking! 1. The tour was simply not as advertised - did not arrive in Bursa itself until after 6 pm, never visited the Green Mosque, the Green Mausoleum or the silk market. While we did go to what might be described as a 'covered bazaar', by the time we arrived most places were closed. We did however stop at a number of 'arranged shopping' locations, where it was clear arrangements had been made with the 'guide' and where quality was poor. 2. The guide provided little to no information - really what was shared about either Mount Uludag and the city of Bursa could fit on a napkin. For example, the word 'Olympus' was not in fact mentioned... 3. The journey itself was uncomfortable - in very cold temperatures, the majority of the group spent over an hour sitting in an unheated bus waiting. Incredibly, there was between 8 am and 11pm one 'bathroom stop' - where unfortunately there was no working toilet. In Turkey, this is absurd. 4. The tour was not adjusted in anyway in light of a the cable car being broken for over a week b record snowfalls which made the drive up and subsequently down in the dark the mountain feel very unsafe a feeling strengthened by the obvious relief of the guide and driver when we made it! 5. Both the guide and the driver spent vast majority of their time on their telephones - including while driving.

every things are good, just one...

Très commercial

abderkri, May 2019

Plusieurs arrêts purement commerciaux et aucun interet donné à la visite des monuments historique tres connu de Bursa. Par conséquent nous sommes arrivés au haut du mont uludag vers 17H30!!!! Dejeuner tres basique. Très peu d'informations données par le guide. La meilleure chose de la journée est la descente du mont par téléphérique. C'etait extraordinaire!!! Si vous voulez vous procurer des produit locaux (genre miel, confiture, pates à tartinés, friandises....) et dépenser de l'argent c'est la bonne adresse sinon cherchez ailleurs!
