Go to Bursa
The Trip is worth it to visit Bursa. Nice Ferry ride, whole itinerary well planned and coordinated. Lunch is barebones (Buckwheat, 1 yoghurt cup, Bread(No butter/oil), thin chicken cutlet, and 2 dollar-sized beef patties), unless you pay 200TL for each additional sides. Driver scrolled through Tiktoks while driving.

Bursa and Uludag are worth seeing
The Tour was good value for money, we paid Euro 76 for 2 people. The only annoying thing were the constant stops for up-selling something, the baklava shop, the silk shop and the jam factory. Even though the price included the cable car, you don't go to the top, if you don't pay a further Lira 700 (Euro 14) per Person. The biggest rip off was the ATV ride, which cost Euro 60 for an hours riding. The one hour was 10 minutes of riding followed by a photo stop, that lasted 40 minutes and a further 10 minutes going back. The photos we could then purchase for Euro 10 a piece. No thank you! The included meal was a BBQ. The starter salad consisted of green leaves and a few grated carrot pieces. The main course was a piece of chicken and a piece of beef with rice. While the trip was worth the money and the guide was very good, I don't like when drivers are texting and reading messages while driving me around going over the lanes on each side. I mentioned this to the guide who told the driver. The driver said I have my eyes on the road, no problem. The trip lasts 13,5 hours, which is too long for us sitting in a bus, interrupted only by short stops.

Wonderful.
Superb crew and program… no regrets except that I should have brought an extra layer of clothing… Mostafa was exceptional..

The NON-Bursa trip!
This trip should be renamed Tour around Bursa. Almost the whole itinerary needs to be revamped. Instead of exploring Bursa you spend most of your time - 2 hours sitting at a ski resort (not skiing!!). A side trip to a AWD tour (extra cost) is a complete waste of time as was trips to selected shops. Lunch was poor in a cold open restaurant. Only good thing was the cable car ride from mountain above Bursa down to Bursa. NOT recommended!!

Bursa And Uludağ Tour From İstanbul Included Lunch & Cable Car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Bursa And Uludağ Tour From İstanbul Included Lunch & Cable Car cost?
+
Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bursa And Uludağ Tour From İstanbul Included Lunch & Cable Car take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.
Is Bursa And Uludağ Tour From İstanbul Included Lunch & Cable Car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 129 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bursa And Uludağ Tour From İstanbul Included Lunch & Cable Car?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bursa And Uludağ Tour From İstanbul Included Lunch & Cable Car suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bursa And Uludağ Tour From İstanbul Included Lunch & Cable Car?
+
Around 45 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bursa And Uludağ Tour From İstanbul Included Lunch & Cable Car start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Istanbul?
+
On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Princes Islands Blue Journey from Old City Istanbul, Famous Istanbul Pub Crawl #1 Nightlife Experience, Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Istanbul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Istanbul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
