Escape the bustle of Istanbul and explore the natural beauty and rich heritage of Bursa and Uludağ on this full-day guided experience. Blending scenic landscapes, cultural landmarks, and local flavors, this tour offers a well-balanced and comfortable day outside the city.

Your journey begins with hotel pickup from selected locations in Istanbul between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM. After meeting your professional guide, travel toward Bursa with informative commentary along the way. A short comfort break is made before continuing through the Marmara region.

An optional stop near Yalova offers the chance to join an ATV or quad safari in a natural setting. This activity is available for an additional fee. Guests who prefer not to participate can relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Arriving in Bursa, visit a local production center showcasing authentic Turkish delight, regional souvenirs, and handmade products. This stop provides insight into Bursa’s traditional craftsmanship and culinary culture.

Next, pause at the historic Plane Tree, over 600 years old, surrounded by peaceful scenery and ideal for photos. Continue along the mountain road to a well-known jam house, where you’ll have a brief visit to explore and shop locally produced jams.

Lunch is served at a cozy local restaurant before reaching the mountain and includes a mixed grill, salad, rice, and one soft drink.

After lunch, head to Uludağ Mountain, Turkey’s most famous mountain destination. Enjoy approximately 1.5 hours of free time, depending on seasonal conditions. In winter, guests may enjoy snow activities and chairlifts; in summer, fresh mountain air, nature walks, and scenic views. Ski equipment and chairlift fees are not included.

Guests who choose the cable car option will descend from Uludağ to Bursa city center by cable car, enjoying panoramic views throughout the ride. Those without this option return by vehicle.
