Embark on a six‑day journey that blends the timeless allure of Istanbul with the natural splendor of Bursa. After a warm welcome at Istanbul Airport, you’ll settle into a comfortable hotel in the historic Sultanahmet quarter, where the majestic Hagia Sophia and the bustling Grand Bazaar await. The first afternoon offers a relaxed introduction to the city, allowing you to wander the cobblestone streets, sip Turkish tea, and absorb the vibrant atmosphere before the guided adventures begin.
Day two takes you to the shimmering Golden Horn, where a panoramic walk offers sweeping views of the Bosphorus and the city’s skyline. A short ferry ride leads to Miniaturk, the world’s largest miniature park, where 105 scale models recreate iconic landmarks from Istanbul, Anatolia, and beyond. After lunch, the tour continues to the historic Pierre Loti Café, perched on Eyüp Hill, and concludes with a shopping excursion to the modern Cevahir Mall. The next day, the tranquil Princes’ Island of Büyükada greets you with its Ottoman villas, cobbled lanes, and serene beaches—an idyllic escape from the city’s bustle.
Day four transports you to Bursa, the former Ottoman capital, where the majestic Green Mosque and the ancient Silk Market showcase the city’s rich heritage. A scenic ferry to Yalova and a cable‑car ride up Uludağ Mountain offer breathtaking panoramas and a refreshing alpine experience, punctuated by a visit to the 600‑year‑old Inkaya Plane Tree. Day five is a cultural crescendo: a guided tour of Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, the Hippodrome’s historic monuments, and the magnificent Blue Mosque, followed by a festive dinner aboard a luxury Bosphorus cruise, complete with live music and folk performances. The final day concludes with a farewell transfer to the airport.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
