Private, Day Trip, Bursa, from Istanbul

As your private guide, I invite you to escape the crowds of Istanbul for a day of history, nature, and incredible food. We will travel in the comfort of my private luxury vehicle, taking the modern Osmangazi Bridge to ensure our journey is fast and scenic. My goal is to show you the hidden gems that group tours miss. We will start our day in the 700-year-old village of Cumalıkızık, where I will host you for a traditional village breakfast in a historic Ottoman setting. Throughout the day, I will share the stories behind the magnificent Green Mosque and lead you to the best viewpoints on Mount Uludağ via the Cable Car. This is not just a tour; it is a day tailored to your pace. Whether you want to spend more time shopping for silk at Koza Han or capturing the perfect photo of the Great Mosque, I am here to make your experience unforgettable.
