Reviews: Bursa & Uludag Mountain Tour from Istanbul with Pickup & Lunch. Optional Cable Car ticket
Guest User2026-01-27
A fairly standard trip. Having spent too much time in Istanbul and nowhere to go, I decided to try this tour. The driver picked me up from the hotel around 8 AM and didn't arrive back until 11 PM, a very long time – basically half the day was spent in the car. The first stop was a motocross ride near Yalova (optional, at your own expense). If you didn't ride, you'd just have to wait there; there was no scenery to speak of. The second stop was a candy shop – ridiculously expensive, we only stayed for an hour. The third stop was a visit to a large tree – another standard attraction, offering a panoramic view of Bursa. The fourth stop was lunch. The fifth stop was a mountaintop ride with a cable car (optional, not included in the tour price). If you didn't ride, you'd just have to wait there. The sixth stop was a cable car ride from the top of the mountain to the bottom (included in the tour price), the scenery was quite nice. The seventh stop was visiting two churches in Bursa, and then we returned to Istanbul, concluding the trip. Overall, there aren't any particularly special sights, especially since the entire day is essentially a bus tour if you don't participate in the optional excursions. The biggest highlight is the cable car ride down the mountain at the end. I wouldn't recommend making a special trip for it; it's only suitable for people like me who have been in Istanbul for too long and have nowhere else to go. Also, if you do choose to participate, be sure to bring your own food. The tour only provides lunch around 3 PM; from 8 AM to 11 PM, you'll have to fend for yourself, as prices at the tourist attractions are shockingly high. Personally, I still really enjoyed it because I'd never seen snow before, and the snow-covered scenery on the mountain was absolutely stunning.

The meeting point was easy to find and Mr Baki is punctual. I like it when he gives us brief informations about historical sites along the way. Which, we didn't get from other travel agents. Even we are in small group. He still makes sure that we can hear his explanations clearly by using the microphone. Appreciate that very much. Mr Baki, till we meet again, would love you to bring us around. Maybe in another city of Turkiye.

I tried the 1-day hop-on hop-off bus tour in Istanbul and it was okay. It’s a convenient way to see the city if you're short on time although traffic is a real killer.   It’s an open roof on the second deck so it was really hot when we went in July but the views were nice, especially crossing the Bosphorus.
Reviews: Istanbul Bosphorus night cruise [3-hour cruise experience + dinner included]

I rode to see the night view. It was darker than I thought, so I was a little disappointed, but I was able to spend three hours easily watching the performances on the line and eating food. It was a new experience.
