During Orhangazi time, the spaces between the inns were closed with roofs and covered bazaars were started to be formed and the first form of the covered Bazaar was formed in this way. . The covered bazaar, which was completely burned down in 1958, was rebuilt; not as a single storey as in its original form; the ground floor from below was built at street level and as the upper floors of shops and shops on either side of the roads. The bazaar has also been covered in a modern way. The İvaz Paşa and Eski Bakırcılar Bazaars, which remained open after the 1855 earthquake was destroyed, were also restored in 1960 and their tops were covered.

BURSA TOUR WITH DTS WE WILL NEVER FORGET LIFE TIME MEMORIES.
As we were Excited to go Bursa finally our trip started from Hotel Pickup and Went to Ferry Station after an entertaining drive in some Transport called VITO , I must say comfort and the chauffer was very nice, good thing about is this Tourism Company found from Trip Advisor name DTS - disgate tourism the person i contacted was very helpful and cooperative although we made little tough for him to decide our tour itinerary in weeks but this guy never stopped providing us all the information we asked though even after this we had the option to go to another company but i was convinced with the price and program as i waned so we boked him as our tour operator for our trip to turkey. well continue with ferry nice and pleasant weather with flying seagulls was mesmerizing and my children's were very happy to fed them with the local bread called SMIT provided by the gentleman of DTS. Drive of around 1 hrs 30min in total road and ferry we reached to station and hop on the vehicle and started driving towards the bursa city. reaching bursa we were a bit tired of travelling so we asked our chauffer to stop over some nice place to have some breakfast or tea cooffee like, after recharged we continued our journey and reached Bursa and visited places they had told to show almost 8 places was in our itinerary full day how finished with great entertainment we didnt noticed , i highly recommend to plan trip itinerary from DTS-TUR they are best and very professional. We are glad to have DTSTUR as our tour operator. Thank you Mr. Mehmet Gultekin for such a wonderful tour you had given us with luxury and comfort.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your good wishes and long compliments.

No experience, just travel and spend money when they want...
A 12-hour "program" of which 50 minutes is an experience. The rest of the travel and stops are in a place that is unnecessarily long for the tourist to spend money . One hour waiting for the bus in front of the hotel in the morning, 30 minutes !!!!! waiting at a candy store (spend it, turist, spend it!), 40 minutes at the Green Mosque - at pray time!!!!! - 3 minutes inside at the end, an hour at a restaurant towards Uludag (eat here! just here!!!). This could have been solved in Bursa, so who doesn't want to eat, can see the city! The Uludag lift didn’t work, so we went the other lift on other way (we weren’t informed about it in advance), so it was two hours up and down with bus. The panorama doesn't exist, I don't understand why it is included in the program when Bursa is part of UNESCO!!!!, not the mountain! Without the mountain we would have had 3 hours in the city!!! Down another 10 minutes experience, the sycamore tree. Then - after 10 minutes - the guide wanted to stop "coffee" again (bar of friends, turists, spend again, spend again!), then no one take off anymore, no wonder! It became 13 hours all day, including 50 minutes of experience and 12 hours of travel and unnecessary stops! It would be more expensive to take one of these tours, but they wouldn't include "commission" restaurants and shops, we're not going to eat and shop! Plus: the driver started calling on the highway (neither speakerphone nor anything else) and when we drifted into the other lane, I told the tour guide to tell him to hang up, that’s not his job! He didn't want to put it down for minutes and started again later! Responsibility!!!! I would add: I think we would have gone with any travel agency, we get the same. If somebody would like to go to Bursa, better to go with a commun bus or rent a car... :-(
Response from the operator: Hello First of all, we are very sorry that you had a bad tour experience. I wish you had done this tour with us. We did not understand how it happened, we did not carry out a bursa tour with you. We will discuss this with Viator. We wish you a nice day

Response from the operator: sizi yeniden misafir etmek için sabırsızlanıyoruz

Private Bursa Day Trip from Istanbul by VIP Vehicle: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Private Bursa Day Trip from Istanbul by VIP Vehicle cost?
+
Prices start at $148 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 Private Bursa Day Trip from Istanbul by VIP Vehicle take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Private Bursa Day Trip from Istanbul by VIP Vehicle worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 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 Private Bursa Day Trip from Istanbul by VIP Vehicle?
+
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 Private Bursa Day Trip from Istanbul by VIP Vehicle suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Bursa Day Trip from Istanbul by VIP Vehicle?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Bursa Day Trip from Istanbul by VIP Vehicle 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.
What is included in Private Bursa Day Trip from Istanbul by VIP Vehicle?
+
Included: Ferry; WIFI internet; In-vehicle air conditioning; Insurance; and Parking fees. Not included: Lunch; Dinner; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
