Thank you for choosing our tour from Istanbul. This journey offers an immersive cultural experience and beautiful scenery, but it also involves a long-distance drive. If you experience discomfort during travel, please inform us at least 24 hours before your tour so we can try to arrange a more comfortable seat for you. One of the highlights of this tour is a visit to a traditional covered bazaar, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore Turkish delights, homemade jams, local foods, and handcrafted items—offering a true taste of Turkish culture. In accordance with Turkish tourism regulations, we make several stops at local vendors to support regional artisans and businesses; purchasing is completely optional, and our guide will assist with translation if needed. The tour also includes optional activities such as chair lift rides or ATV rides, which are not included in the tour price. If you choose not to participate in these activities, you may have to wait approximately 30–35 minutes for others to complete them. As this is a shared group tour, there may be waiting at various stops and the itinerary is fixed, meaning we are unable to customize the duration or skip locations. All places listed in the tour description are included and visited, but at each location, the visit is limited to a specific attraction as per the shared tour plan. Occasionally, customers raise concerns that the itinerary does not match the product description, but we assure you all places mentioned are covered. Please note, if you are interested in exploring the full historical and cultural depth of Bursa, this one-day tour may not be sufficient, as the city offers many more attractions that cannot be fully covered in a single day. This tour is ideal for those looking to see Bursa’s highlights in a short timeframe. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes, and depending on the season, bringing a hat, sunglasses, umbrella, or light jacket.
