About this tour
Bursa was the first capital of the Ottoman Empire, and most of what it left behind is within half an hour of your hotel — just far enough apart that a car makes the day. Start in Cumalıkızık, a village on the lower slopes of Uludağ that has kept its cobbled lanes and timber-framed houses since the early fourteenth century; it is part of Bursa's UNESCO World Heritage listing, and breakfast in one of its garden cafés is a local habit worth keeping. Then ride the cable car from Teferrüç up the mountain while your driver waits at the station. Back in the centre, the twenty domes of the Grand Mosque stand beside Koza Han, the fifteenth-century caravanserai where silk cocoons were traded, with the covered bazaar all around them. Lunch is İskender kebab in the city that invented it. If there is time, finish at the Green Mosque and Green Tomb, known for their turquoise tiles. The vehicle and driver are yours for six hours, and the order of the stops is yours to change.

Frequently asked
Is this a guided tour?
It is a private tour with a driver: the car takes you between the sights and waits while you explore at your own pace. If you would like a licensed guide to come along, ask for one in your request and we will add it to your quote.
What does the price cover?
The vehicle, the driver, fuel, parking and waiting time for six hours, for up to seven guests. Cable car tickets, any entry fees and meals are paid on the day.
Can we book it with our transfer to Bursa?
Yes — that is how most guests use it: the transfer from Istanbul or the airport on the day you arrive, the tour the next morning. Mention your transfer in the tour request and we plan both together.
What if the cable car is not running?
It stops in strong wind and on some maintenance days. Your driver uses that time for another stop instead — the Tophane clock tower, the Irgandı Bridge or the Muradiye tombs.
Which day is best?
Any day. On Sundays many shops in the covered bazaar stay closed, so choose another day if shopping matters. Mosques close to visitors during prayers, and for longer at Friday noon.
There are more than seven of us.
Larger groups travel in a Sprinter minibus. Tell us how many you are in the request and the quote shows that price.
