Bursa day trip
Very long day with the morning dedicated to picking up people and getting to Bursa via shopping stop/ optional track riding which are both time consuming . Afternoon is in Uludag national park with standard cable car included and optional ski lift to the top of the mountain ( worth the extra if guide gives you enough time ) then sites in Bursa ( sultans tombs ) and transfer home arriving very late evening/night. Afternoon and return journey which included ferry ( not always available ) made the trip worth wile if not very long - Morning was disappointing and would have paid more to miss the 1st 2 stops or had them shorter

day trip to Bursa
A very long day with a lot of shopping stops. Overall really worth the money. The cable car ride from the mountain top to the city center of Bursa is an once in a life time experience. The Green Mosque area is very pretty and tranquille. I would rather pay more money for the trip and skip the shopping stops.

Total disaster!!
I reserved a day trip to Bursa my hotel was in the European side which I was reading that they don’t pick up at the Asian side only by point of meeting, I was communicating with the travel agency a day before to make sure I was confirmed, well they left me they were at a total different place and they want me to travel to some unfamiliar location I double check my info in the reservation to make sure there were no mistake and I was correct! they were supposed to pick me up at the hotel but never did I’m very disappointed one star because at least there were very fast in trying to refund me. NEVER USE THEM AGAIN!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, the hotel address was entered incorrectly during the reservation, which caused the pick-up issue. Nevertheless, we immediately processed your refund and even offered you complimentary participation in our evening dinner cruise with a show as a gesture of goodwill. We are truly sorry that you couldn’t experience the tour, despite our efforts to assist. Your review and rating are valuable to us, though we had hoped for a bit more understanding. Thank you

An unforgettable excursion
Our trip to Bursa was really wonderful. Our guide was very informative and took care of us at all times. Everything was beautifully arranged throughout the tour. It was an unforgettable experience to take in the landscape by cable car. It was also a delight to see the historic sites and taste the local flavors. We had a full day and were very pleased with everything. We will definitely remember this trip

Had higher expectations of the trip
The positives Amazing view of the city coming down on the cable car. Driver and tour guys were very nice, respectful gents The negatives Faulty air conditioning in the bus. Terrible time management and organization from pick-up to drop-off. I was dropped at my hotel at 1:30am Lots of shopping, very likely, commission-based stops. I was expecting more of history and tale story of the first capital of the ottoman empire, but there wasn’t much of that.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bursa Day Trip from Istanbul with Uludag Cable Car Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Bursa Day Trip from Istanbul with Uludag Cable Car Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $47 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 Day Trip from Istanbul with Uludag Cable Car Experience 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 Day Trip from Istanbul with Uludag Cable Car Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 9 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 Day Trip from Istanbul with Uludag Cable Car Experience?
+
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 Day Trip from Istanbul with Uludag Cable Car Experience 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 Day Trip from Istanbul with Uludag Cable Car Experience?
+
Around 3 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 Day Trip from Istanbul with Uludag Cable Car Experience 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 Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City 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.
