We have joined and done the Bursa tour from Istanbul with my friends. It is around 3 hours away from Istanbul. We used Bus and ferry with the Group Tour and car ferry is enjoyable with the view of the sea and land. We had a Tour Guide can speak English and Arabic languages. The Tour guide Musa was very nice. We used Teleferic which has a wonderful view. Lunch was very good as well, visited the Green Mosque and Green Tombs. It was well arranged group tour of bursa. Recommended.
