“The activity was well planned and the stops and availability of washroom was good. However I do feel some of the stop were not essential and made only to sell some products. This is the only think which can be improved as the stops for the shop can be used to spend some more time where we had to hurry. However all the other item including the guide behaviour, communications was very good”

A full-day Bursa trip from Istanbul with a real Uludag cable car ride, city sights like the Green Mosque, and included meals.

“This tour is a fraud right in the face! Viator should not sponsor this service. The itinerary was unclear, we started at 8:15 AM and we got back at our hotel at midnight. The seeing points were also a lie ( the first 7 hours there were stops to put gas to the shuttle 10 min after they pick us up,, a safari in motocycle that was not included or previously announced and if you did not want to pay for it you had to wait in an open space with a very cold wind for more than an hour. Prior to this the was a stop for the driver…”

Istanbul to Sapanca in one long day with a 1,500m cable car ride, optional zipline and quad, lunch, and Lake Sapanca time.

“We had a great time on the tour. Ilyas was an excellent guide; friendly, knowledgeable and organised. Impressed with his Arabic and English, and how well he moved between them. The excursions were excellent though we felt time at many places a little more time would be nice. We also weren't aware of many of the stops and the extra spends on the tour, I don't know if they change or because the operator we booked through didn't mention. That said, time between stops was good and the general attitude of the group as a whole was very positive. We had a great time and would gladly recommend to others.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 33 reviews · 12 hours · from $32

We had purchased tickets without the cable car, but we wanted to join. We paid on the spot and joined. It was truly worth it. It took about 25 minutes. I think this was the longest cable car ride I've ever taken.”
