4.Bursa Full-Day Tour From Istanbul With Cable Car

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 287 reviews · 12 to 14 hours (approx.) · from $50

Bursa day trip from Istanbul with ferry views, Turkish BBQ lunch, and a real cable car ride up Uludag. Pickup and guide included.

“The mountain was nice everything else was not. The driver was 40 minutes late for pickup. Instead of the morning ferry we were rushed to an extra activity some ATV’s where we spend until mid day. Instead of visiting Bursa we went to a jam store. They don’t follow the itinerary, but a hidden agenda of extra payed activities and stores. Be ready to spend the majority of the day either at a shop or the bus. And after a long wasted day be patient for them to wash the bus in an additional stop at a gas station in Bursa because it is way cheaper than Istanbul.”
