SCAM - stay away from this tour
Went on this with my wife, paid the premium compared to other Bursa tours for the privacy of not having to go with a group. However, this "tour" is far from what is advertised. The itinerary advertises 7 stops - but the driver only took us to one (the cable car) and back again. Feedback from the tour company was that there was no time to visit all the places, but this should be informed to us prior as the driver showed no urgency during the entire trip. As tourists, we do not know what time museums etc close or anything, and it's up to the tour guide to advise us on timings and to follow the mentioned itinerary. (Or at the very least, give us the option to pick and choose if all 7 can't be fitted in) The second reason the tour company gave when we complained about not visiting all places advertised, is that WE should have informed them DURING the trip about it. As we only went to one location, this 'tour' was essentially a really expensive taxi ride. When trying to provide feedback to the tour company, their response was very immature. Asking why I took 2 days to give them feedback and not inform them during the journey itself. And finally, the icing on the cake! The driver tried to force us to pay EXTRA money stating some fake reason that his shift is only 10 hours (it says 14 on tripadvisor), and that we have to pay $10 for every additional hour over 10 hours. Luckily we informed the trip company and the driver got a phone call from someone, and after that he didn't bring it up again. Trip company says it's a misunderstanding, but the driver did not offer an explanation as to how his 'shift' duration magically did not exist anymore. Conclusion: Choose a tour that has many positive reviews. I thought I'll give this no-review tour a chance and ended up regretting it big time. I at least hope this review will help others not make the same mistake.
Response from the operator: Hi Mr Jason , Sorry to hear all these from you . You got Luxury Premium Class vehicle for this trip through Viator , first of all you are very lucky that you got this class of car with very budget price. Our ordinary daily price (only use in Istanbul , not intercity) is 300 € per day. But you went to Bursa excursion with very budget price as you know. You have been wasting your time at the mountain by yourself and you were late because of yourselves and you blame us for this. Yes I told to Viator company that why costumers complained after 3 days of ended excursion. You didn't contact us and didn't say even a word about all these things what you mentioned now. We do not agree about your complaints. We wish you to have wonderful trips in your life ... Regard Ayet Gungor

The arrangements from...
The arrangements from immediate response to entire journey was excellent. The tour operator provided us with immaculate details of our vehicle and journey, and our assigned driver/guide, Mr. Eftal, was the most courteous, caring and informative we have ever experienced. Our tour was comfortable and fun. I highly recommend booking through Viator, as we checked with recommended companies and they were quoting twice the amount and not the same level of vehicle. We really enjoyed our day tour to Bursa!
Response from the operator: Thanks for your kindly responding and very nice comments. We are very happy to hear that you are glad and loved our service. Your happiness is priority for us. We would love to see you again in our tremendous country Turkey... We wish you to have a wonderful life journey ... Regard Ayet

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Daily Bursa City Tour by Private Minivan (Day Trip from Istanbul): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Daily Bursa City Tour by Private Minivan (Day Trip from Istanbul) cost?
+
Prices start at $295 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 Daily Bursa City Tour by Private Minivan (Day Trip from Istanbul) take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Daily Bursa City Tour by Private Minivan (Day Trip from Istanbul) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 Daily Bursa City Tour by Private Minivan (Day Trip from Istanbul)?
+
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 Daily Bursa City Tour by Private Minivan (Day Trip from Istanbul) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Daily Bursa City Tour by Private Minivan (Day Trip from Istanbul)?
+
Around 1 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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Daily Bursa City Tour by Private Minivan (Day Trip from Istanbul) 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.
