Horrible trip, absolutely disgraceful. Where do I start. They pick you up at 8:30, and take 4 whole hours to actually get to Bursa, is this place they take you after 4 hours even Bursa, no. They take you to some scamming shop, which overprices practically everything in that store. The stop attendees begin yelling at you if you buy something, and just want you out of there. This tour bus only stops there because the shop gives them some sort of comission off every purchase. Next, they take you to a cable car, which is perhaps the only decent part of the trip, even that not so, as they dont have any windows open in the cable car, nor ventilation. So after sitting in a burning hot cable car for 30 minutes, you get to the top of the mountain where theres a “restaurant”, this “amazing BBQ lunch” that they claim, is nothing close to amazing. They give you some dry pita bread, with like a handful of doner chicken, and about 2 strips of beef. No sauce or anything else. Oh you want salad, you want drinks? yeah that’ll be an extra 100TRY. After finally finishing lunch, they take you to a higher peak of the mountain, where you can enjoy a fun open cable car. Fun? far from it, the car was creaking every 2 seconds, and they charge you 200TRY to go on it. Then, finally they proceed down the mountain, to yet again. ANOTHER shop, where the shop employees are yelling at you, forcing you to buy something. Then finally we depart, to keep a timeframe, its currently 4:30 at this point. About 2 hours only were spent outside the bus, the rest 6? sitting on a cramped bus, where they advertise AIR CONDITIONED BUS, but the driver proceeds to turn the AC off and just run the fans (in 34 degrees weather, with a bus full with 40 people.) They finally take you to a somewhat worthwhile trip, which is Green Mosque, and only stop there for 20 minutes. Then we finally proceed back to Istanbul, taking 4 hours yet again. So in total 10 hours spent on the bus, and 3 hours actually doing stuff. Horrible, I beg you please dont book this.
