From Erzurum
Discover one of the oldest Turkish cities in Anatolia on this fully guided day tour from Erzurum. This private daily excursion blends the city's magnificent Seljuk-era monuments with its proud Ottoman history, early Republican landmarks and the modern ski slopes of Palandoken Mountain. With hotel pick-up and drop-off included, this Erzurum day trip is the most comfortable way to see every highlight in a single day.
Erzurum's skyline is defined by its Seljuk legacy. The Double Minaret Madrasa, with its ornate portal and twin brick minarets, is the city's most recognisable landmark, while the nearby Yakutiye Madrasa and the Three Tombs showcase the refined stonework of the medieval period. The Ulu Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in the region, reflects the simple grandeur of early Islamic architecture in Anatolia.
The tour also reveals Erzurum's more recent past. The Aziziye and Mecidiye bastions recall the fierce battles fought over this strategic frontier city, and the Congress Building marks the historic 1919 gathering that helped shape modern Turkey. At Abdurrahman Gazi's tomb you will hear local legends before testing the curious Mysterious Road, where vehicles appear to roll uphill on their own.
Practical notes: this is a relaxed, fully guided daily tour suitable for all ages (0–99). Transportation is in a fully air-conditioned, non-smoking vehicle, and all entrance fees mentioned in the itinerary are included. Lunches and personal expenses are not included, so you are free to choose where to eat. The tour starts and ends at your hotel in Erzurum.

Daily Erzurum City Tour
Your day begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel in Erzurum, where you meet your professional English-speaking guide and set off in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. The first stop is Palandoken Mountain, the city's celebrated ski resort, where you will see the impressive ski jumping towers constructed for the 2011 Universiade and enjoy the mountain scenery. You then continue to the tomb of Abdurrahman Gazi, a revered local figure, before experiencing the famous Mysterious Road, where the slope creates a fascinating optical illusion. Back in the city, the tour visits the Aziziye and Mecidiye bastions, 19th-century fortifications that played a key role in the defence of Erzurum. Next comes the historic Congress Building, site of the 1919 Erzurum Congress, followed by the city's Seljuk treasures: the iconic Double Minaret Madrasa, the Three Tombs, the Ulu Mosque and the elegant Yakutiye Madrasa. The final visit is to the Rustem Pasha Caravanserai, an Ottoman-era inn that still bustles with local craftsmanship. After a full day of discovery, you are transferred back to your hotel in Erzurum, where the tour concludes.

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!
