Reviews: Bursa & Uludag Mountain from Istanbul W/ Pickup&Lunch Optional Cable Car -Teleferik 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.

Reviews: Istanbul: Bosphorus Sunset Cruise with Drinks & Snack
Guest User2026-02-03
It's a very pleasant experience with friendly and attentive staff. They take you all along the Bosphorus while you watch the scenery change at sunset. It's an indoor tour, but you can go out onto the terrace whenever you like. There are restrooms, drinks, and more. Without a doubt, it's excellent value for money. I would book it again and recommend it to anyone traveling to Istanbul.

Reviews: Istanbul Bosphorus: 3-Hour Day Cruise's with Asian Side Stop
Guest User2026-01-31
Very good! We took a bus to the other side of the river to reach the boat. The guide and staff were very friendly. The cruise offered excellent value for money. However, the one-hour stopover was rather uninteresting as there was nothing to see…

Reviews: Istanbul: Bosphorus Dinner Cruise with Turkish Night Show
Guest User2026-02-05
It’s totally worth it! The food was great and the service is smooth. I’d have liked it a little better if their meeting point was a little clearer, but eventually the evening made up for it.

Reviews: Beijing The Palace Museum + Treasure Gallery + Tiananmen Square Half-Day Tour|Tickets included/Optional English guide
Guest User2026-01-27
Guide Wang's explanations of the Forbidden City are incredibly professional! He effortlessly connects the historical context of the Ming and Qing dynasties with the architectural regulations of the palaces, providing detailed and thorough explanations of everything from mortise and tenon joinery to court anecdotes. His presentations are engaging and insightful, avoiding rote memorization. The itinerary is well-planned, avoiding crowds and allowing you to discover lesser-known facts. He patiently answers questions throughout, maintaining a perfect pace. Following him on a tour of the Forbidden City not only lets you see the sights but also deepens your understanding of the cultural heritage behind them – a truly enriching experience!

Reviews: Phuket departure: Phi Phi Islands + Maya Bay + Koh Khai Nok 1-day tour|Incl. island entrance fee
Guest User2025-10-07
The trip was absolutely wonderful, not just because of the stunning beauty of Phi Phi Island, but also because of the amazing tour guiding staff. The guide, whose name I believe was Suraya or Somya, was such a wonderful lady, friendly, kind, and full of positive energy. The whole boat team was incredibly helpful and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the journey. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish , from the warm welcome to the smooth sailing and the delicious onboard refreshments. My favorite part was definitely the snorkeling , the crystal-clear water and colorful marine life were truly unforgettable. Thank you to the entire team for making this trip so special! Highly recommended to anyone visiting Phuket , you’ll not only see paradise, but also meet some of the kindest people. 💙🌺🐠
