From Bursa
Join our private daily excursion to Bursa, the fourth-largest city in Turkey and the very first capital of the Ottoman Empire. This Bursa day trip combines magnificent early Ottoman monuments, lively bazaars, peaceful parks and the green slopes at the foot of Uludag Mountain, all in one relaxed full-day programme from Bursa.
Bursa holds a unique place in Turkish history. Captured by Orhan Gazi in 1326, it became the cradle of Ottoman civilisation, and its mosques, tombs and bazaars still reflect that golden age. The Grand Mosque is considered one of the finest surviving works of early Ottoman design, while the Green Mosque complex showcases the refined tile artistry of the 15th century.
Beyond its monuments, this day tour lets you feel the city's living culture: sip Turkish tea in a historic setting, browse stalls piled with silk scarves, towels and local sweets, and breathe the fresh mountain air near Uludag's forested foothills.
Practical notes: this is a fully guided private daily tour with hotel pick-up and drop-off in Bursa, comfortable air-conditioned transport and a lunch featuring halal, meat and vegetarian options. The pace is easy and suitable for all ages from 0 to 99.

Daily Bursa City Tour
Your day begins after breakfast with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in Bursa. Our first stop is the Grand Mosque (Ulu Cami), a stunning landmark of early Ottoman architecture built under Sultan Yildirim Beyazid, where your guide will explain its twenty domes, graceful minbar and remarkable calligraphic panels. From there we stroll to the nearby Bedesten and Grand Bazaar, the historic trading quarter where Bursa's famous silk and textile merchants have worked for centuries. We then continue to the Green Mosque and Green Tomb, celebrated for their brilliant green and turquoise glazed tiles, and pause here for a relaxing tea break. Next, we visit the tombs of Osman Gazi and Orhan Gazi, the founding fathers of the Ottoman Empire, set on a hill overlooking the city. The programme continues at the Bursa City Museum, whose exhibits bring to life the city's Ottoman and Republican periods. To round off the day, we drive towards the outskirts of Uludag to the Inkaya Historical Plane Tree, a roughly 600-year-old giant, and enjoy one last tea beneath its vast branches before returning you to your hotel in Bursa.

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.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
