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.
We will drop you back to your hotels

Traveler reviews
Acceptable
It will be good to only keep either Safari or snowmobile for the optional activity, so that there is not much waiting time to spend. I understand that the tour needs to make money, hope you can build other quality trips that has less designated shopping and a higher price from the payers to cover your cost. Instead of that, people has more freedom and time to choose shops.
Amazing Guide, Even Better People
Kivo was an amazing tour guide! I had such a great time on this trip—not only because of the itinerary, but especially because of the incredible people I met. I highly recommend this kind of tour if you want to connect with others and experience different cultures together.
Extremely long 16hr day with 45mins in Bursa
We booked a Bursa full day trip but we got 45min jungle mud 4x4 at extra cost which we didn't do. 45mins ski trip at extra cost that we didn't do. 30 mins van wash experience and 45mins in Bursa. We got back to our hotel at midnight a 16 hour day! We had 2 Syrian brothers as guides they were very nice but not professional guides. The driver was a professional. The tour description is not accurate our day was cold wet and foggy no views and quite disappointing. The lunch was in a cold restaurant food was ok but small portions 7 french fries more cost 150 tkl one piece of chicken two mince patties bread and cabbage carrot salad with no dressing and a small Pepsi. Van was comfortable with USB points but no Wi-Fi
Would have done something different . Not worth the money
1) no where did it say to bring a passport glad I had photos of it 2) tour was not informative of things around . “There is 600 year old tree. You may go up if u want or not.” 3) no historical information 4) no where said we be able to go snow mobiling or any other activity after cable car. 5) points of locations were just hotspots to purchase things from shops affiliated
