This Bursa private tour takes one day, with hotel pick-up and drop-off in the city. A licensed guide, a minivan with driver, lunch and entrance fees are included. You see the Great Mosque, the old inns around the Küçük Han, the Green Mosque and Tomb, and the Ottoman village of Cumalıkızık on the foothills of Uludağ.

Who this tour suits

This tour suits travelers who want Ottoman history in one day and prefer a guide who explains the monuments as they go. It fits couples and friends who enjoy architecture and slow village walks, and families with older children who can manage a full day on flat streets and cobbles. Visitors who want the mountain itself should ask about Uludağ, which is not in the plan. The gondola from the city runs about 9 kilometers up to the pine plateaus of Sarıalan and the hotel zone, and the mountain suits winter skiing or summer forest hikes. Because the tour is private, you can give the Green Mosque more time or stretch the lunch.

When to visit Bursa and how to get there

Spring and autumn are the most comfortable months for walking the old quarters, since the city gets hot in summer. Uludağ is a winter ski destination and a summer hiking area, so tell us your season if you want to add the mountain. If you want the gondola, tell us early, because the mountain visit changes the order of the day. Most visitors arrive from Istanbul by road or by ferry to Mudanya, and that journey is not included in the tour price. Share your arrival time and hotel name when you request a price, and we will confirm the pick-up time with you.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a price for this private tour?

Price is only given on request, as it changes with the dates and the group size. Send us a message on WhatsApp at +90 544 674 42 28 with your travel dates, your hotel name in Bursa and the number of people. We will reply with a quote for your group.

Can we ride the Uludağ gondola during the tour?

The gondola is not part of the listed inclusions, so treat it as an extra. The cable car runs from the city to the pine plateaus of Sarıalan, and the guide can plan the day around a visit to the mountain. Ask us when you request a price, and we will quote the day with Uludağ added.

Do we need to cover up for the mosques?

Yes. Both mosques are active places of worship, so cover your shoulders and knees, and remove your shoes at the entrance when asked. Women should bring a light scarf for the visits. Both mosques have quiet prayer areas, so keep your voice low.

Is lunch covered, and what else costs extra?

Lunch at a local restaurant is covered, along with one soft drink. Tips and optional extras are your own cost, so set aside some cash for them. Shop purchases in the bazaar are, of course, your own spending.

Is the village of Cumalıkızık a fixed stop?

Yes, Cumalıkızık is in the plan. Families in the village sometimes serve traditional breakfasts in their courtyards, but a breakfast there is not in the listed inclusions, so ask the guide before the day starts if you want one.

Can we do this as a day trip from Istanbul?

Yes, on request. Because the tour is private, we can quote a pick-up in Istanbul instead of Bursa. The drive makes it a longer day, so the guide may shorten one stop. Tell us your hotel and date when you ask for a price.
