Itinerary
The Bursa Day Tour begins during the morning from the city centre of Istanbul. A fully air conditioned bus will pick you up from your hotel. A tour guide will accompany you during this trip in order to provide interesting descriptions and assist you.
In order to reach Bursa, the bus will drive you towards a harbour in order to enjoy a car ferry ride while passing the Marmara Sea. During this ferry trip, you can enjoy views over Bosporus and over the imposing bridges that connect Asia and Europe. Total Distance between Istanbul and Bursa is 2 hours
By the end of your free time, the bus will continue towards the next stop of the excursion. A stop will also be made at a shop selling authentic Turkish delight. This worldwide famous dessert is one of the sweetest memories you will have from Turkey. Thus, do not miss the chance to purchase your favourites from this shop.
Once the free time is over, you will enter in a cable car and enjoy an exciting and fun ride towards Bursa’s city centre. The feature that distinguishes us from other companies organizing Bursa tours is that we include REAL trip with the cable car which takes about 30 minutes, instead of a basic 7-minute chairlift ride. In our tour, you are in a cabinet of a real cable car.
When you arrive in Bursa, you will visit a 600-year old plane tree to snap some photos. Then, you will be driven towards Uludag Mountain. At a local restaurant there, you will enjoy a delicious meal in a quiet setting. After the lunch break, you will have free time to explore the area and enjoy your time in the mountain.
At the centre, a bus will be waiting for you in order to transfer you to the Green Mosque. This monument forms one of the most important ones in the city. It includes multiple important rooms, such as a library and tombs. The interior of this mosque will impress you as it is beautifully decorated with green tiles.
The bus will then start driving towards Istanbul by following the same route. According to the schedule, return to your hotel in expected during the night.
After completing our tour in Bursa, we begin our journey back to Istanbul. Depending on the schedule and traffic conditions, the return may be arranged either by ferry — with our bus boarding the ferry across the Sea of Marmara — or via the highway and bridge route. Both options offer comfortable travel and scenic views, ensuring a pleasant end to your day. Upon arrival in Istanbul, guests are dropped off at their hotels or designated locations. Please Note: Due to traffic and weather conditions, the return time to Istanbul may vary. In some cases, the arrival time can be as late as 11:00 PM. We kindly ask guests to plan their evening activities accordingly.

Superb crew and program… no regrets except that I should have brought an extra layer of clothing… Mostafa was exceptional..
This trip should be renamed Tour around Bursa. Almost the whole itinerary needs to be revamped. Instead of exploring Bursa you spend most of your time - 2 hours sitting at a ski resort (not skiing!!). A side trip to a AWD tour (extra cost) is a complete waste of time as was trips to selected shops. Lunch was poor in a cold open restaurant. Only good thing was the cable car ride from mountain above Bursa down to Bursa. NOT recommended!!
Veli I really appreciated your communication with me during the trip, particularly getting the upgrade back for me.... I had an absolutely fabulous time.Just wanted to let you know that the trip was fantastic and everything worked out seamlessly!♥️🥰😇
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. It was truly a pleasure assisting you during your trip. I’m very happy to hear that everything went smoothly and that you had a wonderful time. I would be delighted to welcome you again in the future
Our trip to Bursa was absolutely wonderful. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed it. We are very happy to have joined this tour and would like to thank everyone who made it possible
A very horrible tour experience i must say. The guide was the worst thing about this tour, he was very arrogant and stubborn. The tour guide was in it for the money as he stopped at 5 preselected shops and forced us to buy from them. We started the tour at 9 am and got to eat lunch at 6 pm. We went to bursa after 9 hours. And were left to explore for only 40 minutes. The only good thing about this tour was that it ended...
Very poor and arrogant guide. Only take stops and different stops to sell stuff. Its been 7 hours since we have left the hotel and haven't reached the main attractions at bursa. Guide is extremely rude and arrogant and even ignores when you ask something. Not recommended!
Trip was extremely pathetic, I paid 42 Euros and cable car was included in my package but later i was told during the trip that cable car is not included in my package which was totally disappointing for me. Some of the other visitors with me who paid 21 Euros but still availed the cable car in their package.
We read your comment with sadness. We would like to state that we believe it does not reflect the true situation and that we find it unfair. You made your reservation yourself without selecting the cable car option. When you contacted us during the tour asking why you couldn’t take the cable car, we explained that your reservation did not include it. In fact, we even sent you a photo of your ticket to clearly show this. Despite this, it deeply saddened us that you still left a negative review. Furthermore, you mentioned in your comment that you paid 42 Euros, which is also not accurate. The price of our tour without the cable car is 35 Euros. We are an official and professional tourism company, and we take such false statements very seriously. We wish you had contacted us again and asked, “How can you help me?” As always, we would have done our best to assist you. We clearly explained the situation to you, and at that moment, you accepted it. However, leaving such a comment the next day was truly disappointing. It is genuinely upsetting. We kindly ask that you show respect to the people who work hard to provide these services. Thank you for your understanding.
Great tour . Lots of activities and sightseeing. An experience of a lifetime that shouldn’t be missed. Lots of thrills and spills
