Itinerary

After getting picked up from your hotel in the early morning, you'll drive from Istanbul to Eskihisar port. Here, hop on the ferry to Topcular and enjoy views of the country and seaside. After the 45-minute ferry ride, drive to Bursa, the former Ottoman capital. From there, Bursa is your oyster. Choose to go to the beautiful parks and gardens located across the city and enjoy nature. Or, drive to the mausoleums of early Ottoman sultans and the numerous edifices built throughout the Ottoman period. See the city's main landmarks and listen to expert commentary from your guide.  The city is synonymous with the mountain Uludag which towers behind the city core and which is also a famous ski resort. Travel here and sit on a cable car to get great views of the vast forests and thermal baths that surround the region.   You can let your driver know if you have any particular sites within Bursa that you would like to see, including: • Visit Cumalıkızık and eat a village breakfast • Uludag mountain for a ride on a cable car • Bursa city center • Ulu Camii (Grand Mosque) • Yesil Camii (Green Mosque) • Yesil Turbe (Green Mausoleum) • 600-year-old pine tree • Koza Han • The Covered Bazaar (Silk Market)

This tour has been excellent especially with kids. Our guide Burak was very friendly and professional and made the trip even more fun. He really went above and beyond to make sure we enjoy our time an (Read More)d took us to places we wanted to see. We were able to see all the important places at our own pace, he even bought my kids chocolates and Turkish snacks he wanted us to try. We completed the entire tour at our own pace and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommended if you wanted a personalized tour, especially travelling with kids.

The tour was great we really enjoyed it. The car was clean, sanitizor was available at all times, in addition to different type of refreshment drinks and water. Our driver was Sinan. He was well orien (Read More)ted about the locations we visited. We could easily communicated due to his good English language. He was punctual and good in planning . In general he was very pleasant, kind person and helpful. We would definitely go back with Adore tours again.

The activity was amazing, Ahmet (our driver/guide) made sure our time was spent enjoying the major sites we wanted to see. The only reason I give 4 stars rather than 5 is because the English was a bit (Read More) weak. This is not the driver’s fault but the tour agency’s fault for clearly advertising “English speaking driver”. It is a bit misleading if nothing else, I cannot give 5 stars. But Ahmet was exceptional and I would highly recommend him.

Overall, this was a solid day trip--a comfortable and efficient way to explore Bursa. I just have to discount one star as there were some communication shortcomings or limitations. While we still got (Read More)to do most of what we'd hoped to, those communication issues moderately limited the the flexibility and responsiveness of the excursion.

I only put one star for the friendliness and punctuality of the driver, who I have nothing to reproach. On the other hand, despite his kindness, he did not know the city of Bursa or anything that appe (Read More)ared in the planned program, he had no knowledge of the place, so the agency made believe in a program when there is no program. planned. We found ourselves stuck in the back of the van when we wanted to go to the bathroom the driver could not hear us because of the closed life on the driver's side. So I repeat the driver was very nice but no organization from the agency.
