Bursa Day Trip
This trip was quite an experience enjoyed shopping from the bus stops along the way, Bursa is definitely a must see place especially up in the mountains, freezing coz of the snow but i loved it, kudos to Abdulkader and Daud (theyre so nice & kind treated us like guest everytime we visit their office )of Turista Travel for recommending this whole day tour, thank you for the hospitality
Response from the operator: Thank you very much, we would like to see you again.

worst day trip ever for us
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.

Worst day trip
It's a complete waste of time and money. Caution, long review ahead, you can jump at the end to the conclusion. This is how the trip was for me: - pick up at the hotel was scheduled at 8:30, ended up on the 1st bus at 8:50 (fair in my opinion giving the fact that there are a lot of hotels) - the 1st bus left us at a pickup point for all types of 1 day trips. There, the organizaton was complety haotic, ended up on 2 different buses until finally on the right bus, heading to Bursa. Departure somewhere around 10. - the guide (from Insider Travel - Yossuf, i think i spelled his name correct) spoke mostly in turkish, his english was very bad close to basic level - after the trip with the fairy, we arrived in Bursa and passed right by it, to head toward the mountain - we stopped for about 45 min at a local jam shop, where the guide had "connections", thinking you will buy stuff from there - afterward we stopped for the barbecue lunch. The portions were small and the food not good - on the cablecarts, there are just 2, and just one is included, and for the other one what a surprise, you have to pay (40 lira) - after wasting time close to a couple of hours we head back towards Bursa - of course, there was another stop on the way, at a honey store, again where the guide had "connections" - after 45min of browsing through the honey store, we visited a 610 year old tree - finally, we arrived at Bursa for sightseing at 18:45 (waaay to late), to see the Green Mosque, Green Market and Silk market in just 45min - when booking the trip, we were told that we will arrive back in Istanbul at 21:00. As you can see we were waaay out of schedule due to the long stops at stupid shops for travellers to spend their money - after leaving Bursa, i though that we will head directly towards Istanbul given the late hour. Wrong, we stopped at another "connections" stop for turkish delight, wasting again time for about 45min - the guide, when he finally "noticed" the late hour (i think this was actually their real schedule), he propose to not the fairy back which it was included in trip price, but to take the bridge to arrive 1 hour early, which was not free, spending an additional 5 lira per person, from which i think the guide and the bus driver took their baksis - so we took the bridge route and arrived in Istanbul very late, at 23:30 in the evening, with a total sighting time for the entire day close to 1 hour. To sum up: too much time in local shops to buy stuff that you find everywhere in Istanbul, there are just 2 cablecarts and just one is free (other one is 40 lira). For an entire day, sightings was just 1 hour and we arrived very late at 23:30. The worst 1 day trip i have ever had.

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Daily Green Bursa Tour From Istanbul: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Daily Green Bursa Tour From Istanbul cost?
+
Prices start at $39 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 Green Bursa Tour 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 Green Bursa Tour From Istanbul worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.1/5 across 14 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 Green Bursa Tour 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 Green Bursa Tour 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 Green Bursa Tour From Istanbul?
+
Around 5 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 Green Bursa Tour 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.
