About this tour

See Bursa in one day in a 6-seat VIP vehicle with your own driver: Cumalıkızık village, the Uludağ cable car, the Grand Mosque, Koza Han and Tophane.

This tour suits couples, small families and groups of friends of up to six. You travel all day with the same vehicle and driver, without the pace of a crowded coach. The tour starts in Bursa; the pickup point and time are agreed with the operator on WhatsApp. The price shown is per vehicle, not per person: the vehicle and driver are reserved for your group alone. It includes road and bridge tolls, fuel and the driver; cable car tickets and entrance fees are not included, and meals usually are not. The tour runs about 10 hours, as stated by the operator; because the vehicle is private to your group you can book any date you like, and the start time is agreed on WhatsApp.

📍 Programme:

  • Cumalıkızık village (UNESCO World Heritage)
  • Bursa cable car up Uludağ
  • Grand Mosque (Ulu Cami)
  • Covered Bazaar and Koza Han
  • Tophane: tombs of Osman Gazi and Orhan Gazi

Meeting point and location

Departs from: Nilüfer, Bursa

The tour starts in Bursa because the operator is based in Bursa; if you are staying in Istanbul, look on Voyago for Bursa tours run by Istanbul-based operators, which start from Istanbul. The pickup point in Bursa and the time are agreed with the operator on WhatsApp when you book; include the address where you are staying in Bursa in your message.

Important information

  • Cable car tickets and museum or site entrance fees are not included, and lunch usually is not, so confirm on WhatsApp when you book. Child seats, a guide and the exact list of stops depend on the operator; ask if the description does not make them clear.
  • The cable car runs year-round but can stop for maintenance or in strong wind. Snow and ski season is usually December to March, and the top is much colder than the city, so bring a layer even in summer.
  • If you want prayer stops, tell the operator on WhatsApp when you book; Ulu Cami and mosques along the way are suitable. In mosques women cover their hair and everyone covers shoulders and knees.
  • Most restaurants in Turkey serve halal meat. If you prefer a venue that does not serve alcohol, just tell the driver.
  • Wear comfortable shoes for Cumalıkızık's stone lanes and the bazaar; the area around Ulu Cami is very busy at Friday midday prayers.

We recommend bringing:

  • Comfortable clothes and shoes
  • Sunscreen and a hat
  • Camera
