The tour begins with a pickup from your hotel or specific address in Istanbul. The driver waits at the front of your hotel, ready to assist with luggage and help you start your day stress-free. This service is near public transportation, which makes accessing your pickup point straightforward.

Because the service is completely private, your group’s schedule can be arranged around your needs, whether that means an early start or a later departure. This flexibility appeals most to those who want to customize their transfer, avoiding the constraints of shared shuttles or public transport.

Destinations and Travel Times: From Short to Long Trips

Depending on your chosen destination, the duration of the journey varies:

• Bursa and Sapanca each take about 3 hours.

This variety allows travelers to weigh their preferences for travel time against the desire to explore specific cities or attractions in Turkey. Longer trips are best suited for those with flexible schedules and an interest in exploring multiple destinations efficiently.

Capacity Limits and Practical Considerations for Travelers

The vehicle’s maximum capacity of 6 passengers makes it ideal for small groups or families. The 6 big suitcases capacity ensures ample space for luggage, even on longer journeys.
