Liar. Fake company. Our money is burnt
They cancelled our tour without giving a reason. They said they would refund the money immediately, but said they didn't know when. Don't waste your time because you're being scammed. Stay away from this site if you don't want to be scammed.

Bursa Day Trip From Istanbul With Horrible Guide
Our trip to Bursa was good. It is a long trip from Istanbul. About 2 hours to get there and about another 2 hours to get on top of the mountain. You get to see some good places on your way up. The Lunch was one of the best lunches we had. ATV ride is a must. It is a little pricey but it will make the trip worth it. Don't waste your time with the professional photographer because they charge 500 lira per picture. Our guide Mahmud. He was not professional and few times he was actually rude and disrespectful when we requested for a couple things. My wife was feeling sick that day and we asked if we can change our seat with someone since we got picked up late and we sat at the back of the bus. Sitting at the back of the bus is no issue for us but since she was feeling sick and sitting at the back of the bus was making her more sick, we requested if we can change our seat with someone which he completely ignored and we had a horrible 4 hours ride, especially through those roads going up the mountain. We had paid extra so just the two of us can sit in the cable car and I politely reminded him and he started arguing with me and my wife and told us it's not his responsibility and we ended up with 5 people in the cable car. If it was a busy day with lots of people waiting then we might have understood. Lots of people were sitting in the cable car alone or with their spouse or friend. One couple with a normal ticket got to sit in the cable car by themself but even when we paid extra, we were told that it is none of his business and they will put us with whomever they want in the cable car. Overall his behavior towards myself and my wife totally ruined the trip for us. Also they would stop at a spot that had nothing to see for like 45 minutes but places that should have more free time, we would get like 15-20 mins. Overall Bursa is a beautiful place to visit, just hope you don't end up with a guide like ours.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Day trip to Bursa, Turkey
Visit to Bursa proved to be an excellent way to dedicate a day outside Istanbul visit. Tour leader was very knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant. Transportation was comfortable enough and the periodical stops helped ease the overall experience. Most places visited were fantastic, especially the cable chair and cable car experiences; so was the ferry crossing. However lunch provided was very basic / poor , simply given a plate with some meat and a couple of chips and some sliced lettuce and carrots, and a small bottle of coke / water - extra side plates were provided BUT had to be paid for afterwards, since the proprietor had conveniently not mentioned this fact. Last year took a similar day tour around European and Asian sides of Istanbul and we had a healthy lunch - starter, mains, dessert and drinks [no hidden charges]. 'Food for thought' excuse the pun. Otherwise we enjoyed the day-trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bursa Full-Day Tour From Istanbul With Cable Car: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Bursa Full-Day Tour From Istanbul With Cable Car cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Full-Day Tour From Istanbul With 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 Full-Day Tour From Istanbul With Cable Car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 299 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 Full-Day Tour From Istanbul With 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 Full-Day Tour From Istanbul With 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 Full-Day Tour From Istanbul With Cable Car?
+
Around 105 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 Full-Day Tour From Istanbul With 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 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.
