About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 130fakherm0 contributionsNice tripWhat an incredible trip! I got to explore all three islands and enjoy some really delicious food along the way. Thank youWritten 1 February 2025
- M3670OWnatashak0 contributionsGreat Service & Amazing Experience!Communication was excellent—Timur Taş stayed in touch with me via WhatsApp the entire time. Taxis were punctual, and the drivers’ communication for pick-ups was spot on. On my first day, I went on the 'Red Tour,' which was great fun. I met fellow solo travelers and explored the sights. I LOVED my cave accommodation at 'Holiday Cave Hotel'—highly recommend! The food was amazing, the staff was friendly and helpful, and my room was fantastic. I had dinner in town and walked around the streets to celebrate my birthday. On the second day, I woke up to an unexpected winter wonderland—snow everywhere! Unfortunately, my planned excursions, including the balloon trip, were canceled, but that was beyond anyone’s control. Instead, I spent the day wandering around town and enjoying the snow. On the way back, our flight was delayed due to the weather, so I arrived in Istanbul about two hours later than expected. I was worried about my transport, but Timur assured me someone would be there—and there was! I was also refunded for the second day with no issues; the money was promptly paid back to my credit card. Thank you for an unforgettable trip! I'll be back to get on that balloon!Written 31 January 2025

Cappadocia was beautiful, a lot of coll things to see. The hot air balloon ride was awesome.Written 23 January 2025

We were kept informed of the trip and time so everything went smooth. I would definitely recommend for the price you pay. Unless you want to see more.Written 24 November 2024
- 364sallyo0 contributionsFantastic holidayThe whole tour was fantastic- our tour guide Yusef was informative, helpful, friendly and accommodating. His local knowledge was great and I would highly recommend him as your guide. Our accomodation was convenient and clean, the staff friendly and the whole 2 days was worth every minute. Easy walk to local restaurants for dinner. The hot air ballooning was just sensational- so smooth and the view was amazing! I would highly recommend this to anyone. The only part to the whole tour was the late night return flight to Istanbul, and long drive back to accomodation which meant we arrived back at hotel at 2 a. m.Written 16 October 2024
- argiedales0 contributionsPrincess Island Excapade 2024I had an awesome experience during this tour. I met quite a few people and had a good conversation. The islands are spectacular, but there is nothing much to do there, but I enjoyed biking around. The tour staff are very informative and approachable.Written 15 October 2024
- andyjackson69690 contributionsFerry the cash cows to and from!More of a packed ferry ride than a boat cruise, noisy crowded and hot, I was hoping for an enjoyable boat journey but it was more like being on public transport. Islands are nice enough, souvenir shopping and food, although be sure to agree the price before ordering, they can be extortionate.Written 5 October 2024

- D6260RMannb0 contributionsVery poorly organised.23:23 the night before the excursion, when I was fast asleep, they sent a message via Whatsapp to inform that the pickup at the hotel would be 8:30. So, ten minutes before 8:30, we started waiting in the hotel lobby. Someone speaking very poor English came to pick us up after 9 o’clock and made us, and other people he also picked up on the way, practically run to the bus, that was parked 2 streets further. After that, we had to wait again, in the bus now. No explanation. After the bus had started the trip, we went to the Taksim area, where we had to…. wait. 3 diferent groups in one bus, another bus had too many passengers, … very poorly organised. After that we finally got in the right bus, the guide, Süleyman, entered and the trip started. It is only thanks to this guide that the trip wasn’t a complete waiste of time and money. He was very kind and helpful and seemed to know what he was talking about. The lunch included in the package was very bad. My dogs get better food than this. I saw that more than half of the people almost didn’t eat anything. What we didn’t ask for, but got anyway, was a trip to a local leather factory at the end of the trip. Very expensive and also very dangerous because of wet stairs and no railing to hold on to. Conclusion: it would have been less stressfull and cheaper tot buy the tickets for the boats and organise the trip ourselves.Written 12 September 2024

Guide was very informative but way too long and it ended poorly. I had taken a taxi to another hotel for pick up which was fine but at end of night which was 10:30 the tour guide pulled over on side of freeway and asked me to get off and walk over a bridge to the hotel and call a taxi and I said I don’t feel comfortable walking over the bridge by myself and my phone died and he said you said you would take a taxi back from hotel rudely and I told him I will take taxi but I am not walking across a bridge by myself at night in a new city with no phone being 65 years old and so he said you get out here and I will get you a taxi and so he made me cross a crazy busy street and waved down a cab. The tour was too long and too much waiting at different stops and the guy next to me said he had transferred On 3 different busses and he was done with tour and it was way too long he said. I would not recommend it because of length and ending but owner of tour guide and guide and bus driver were friendly and funny.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave review! Unfortunately, we do not offer hotel transfers from the Asian side. When I saw your reservation, I called you to cancel your tour, but you insisted on joining the tour You know very well that your tour will be a little difficult.
We are really sorry that you had problems with the transfer. Hope to see you again in Istanbul. Abdullatif Timurtaş

The guide was very knowledgeable. he gave a lot of information about Bursa. We visited many interesting places, in each of them we had free time to explore by ourselves. The road conditions during winter are demanding in Bursa and Uludag and it is worth to add that the driver Ali was very careful, which made the whole trip very safe. Good value for the money spent.

Good day trip to Bursa from Istanbul. We got to cross on a ferry which was super fun! The uludag mountains were beautiful and had a really nice time on the chair life and cable car (FYI there is no snow and not ready for skiing in december). The green mosque in bursa was exceptional. In terms of making the tour better, more time in Bursa would make it even more excpetional and remove the stop at turkish delight and jam shops.
I would like to highlight that the team was very professional and make the experince safe. I had left my wallet in the bus and only realized after the tour was over ahd we were back at out hotels. I gave them a call and asked to check the bus and they promptly called me back to inform me they found it and it was returned to me early next morning. So grateful that they found it in time and got it back to me so swiftly.
Thank you so much for a great day!

Positives:
Tamur was very helpful and responsive when finding us a meeting point on the Asian side for pickup, and during our lunch, a vegetarian option was able to be added last minute. Our guide Doğan was also very friendly.
Negatives:
The bus AC was broken, so it was raining down on us in the back row the entire trip. The AC wasn’t even attempted to be fixed until five hours into our trip, and it was never repaired.
No one in the back of the bus could hear the tour guide over the broken AC, so I would recommend the guide having a microphone in the future.
Another frustrating part of the trip were the several unnecessary stops before our first main attraction. There were several stops that were not listed on the itinerary such as a one hour stop for people to pay extra to ride ATV’s. Most of us in the group just had to stand around and wait for an hour. Several other stops were made to get us to buy things in shops and many were getting by frustrated by these time killing tactics.
We didn’t go to Cumalıkızık köyü village, which was listed on the itinerary, with no explanation as to why that was cut from our itinerary.
Perhaps the biggest disappointment was our arrival time at the Green Mosque. We arrived right before a prayer time so I wasn’t able to enter the mosque, as a non-Muslim. I missed the most special part of the whole excursion.
The sites were pretty and Tamur and Doğan was nice, but this trip was not structured in an efficient way. I would not recommend.

The trip was very disappointing, we were on the coach and ferry and in 5 hours the only stops we made were to a Turkish Delight Shop, a jam shop and to see an ancient tree. The shops were not on the internary when we booked, if I wanted to go shopping I would go to the baazar. The lunch was very poor, they took our drinks away before we had finished and the food was poor quality. The stops at the destinations were too long, culminating in a 13 hour day. The guide is informative but information overload, the brain switches off.

The bad:
The sale stop (stopping on stores to buy stuffs) went beyond the extended time. Activities that are not listed in the itinerary and have to pay for those activities such as atv rides and ski lifts ride.
Other guests were not ready on pick up so it took a lot of time to pick up other guests.
Lunch was very late at 3 pm.
Because of the above, less time spent in those attractions listed in the itinerary and this tour ended past 10 PM!!!
The good:
The included lunch was surprisingly delicious
The cable car ride
The boat ride of the bus to crosse o. the other side.

Dear guest, Yes, on the way to Bursa, we have to make a stop at some places because it takes about 3 hours.
and we make a stop close to some shopping malls and some of our guests meet their needs while other guests are interested in shopping. and unfortunately sometimes some of our guests may arrive late. We are sorry about this, but we are always trying to provide the best service to our valued guests.

Not worthh to visit the place because tour guide wasted time in shops and malls of his vested interest and actual site cable car and chair lift to snow site for 40 minutes only. We went to enjoy in snow which is rare for us but guide was interested in the places where his commission is fixed. Not happy with this tour. Sorry. The guide name was Duaan.

I was picked up well, the tour ran smoothly. It was exactly what was stated no more no less. I enjoyed it as felt the guide was genuinely interested in our welfare. Pleasant introduction at a leisurely pace snd enjoyed optional chairlift to summit of mountain. The mosque was a welcome quiet from frenetic pace of Istanbul. I actually enjoyed tasting jam too. The food could have been better but at just 40 eueo including boat crossing hotel transfer pick up and drop offs for me it was very reasonable. If had tried to go myself was not doable. Thanks do much

I am a very patient frequent traveler and I am normally generous with my ratings. Overall the tour did not meet my simplest expectations. The journey had two very long unnecessary shopping stops, one at Turkish sweets shop "factory" and the other at local fresh jam. I don't mind supporting local industries, but not whole on a 14 hours drive to Bursa !!! It was frankly very annoying and there was zero value in it. The bus was old, and the air-condition in the back of the bus was freezing. The music was too loud; I had to put my noise cancelling earplugs on. The driver managed to get himself stuck in a narrow alley which demended all passengers to get off for 10 minutes, and burning tire rubber to recover. The tires condition was concerning given that we had to drive very high altitude mountains. The tour guide's English was very poor. I was lucky to understood some Arabic.
