About this activity

Take a break from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul and explore "Green Bursa" as it is called due to its gardens and parks. Your driver will pick you up from your accommodation at the desired time and you will set out for a pleasant trip in a comfortable, private vehicle.

Explore Tophane Citadel, an important part of the city. Admire masterpieces of Ottoman architecture like the Koza Han market, Grand Mosque, Green Mosque, and the Green Tomb

The highlight of the area is the Uludag Ski Center that attracts many visitors, especially during winter as it offers an amazing ski experience. You can access the Resort by car, but the recommended way is by cable car, the Bursa Cableway.

Our drivers are not licensed to accompany you into the sights but are very knowledgeable of the places visited and will provide all the historical information and their local perspective.

At the end of the trip, your friendly driver will take you back to Istanbul and drop you off at your accommodation.
