Day trips work exactly like our hourly service, except the clock covers the whole day and the route leaves the city. Your chauffeur collects you from your hotel in the morning, stays with you at every stop, and has you back in Istanbul the same evening.
Everything that makes an intercity journey annoying — motorway tolls, the Osmangazi Bridge, ferry crossings, parking at the destination, the driver's own expenses — is inside one quoted figure. You are never asked for cash at a toll booth.
One fixed price, tolls included
Bridges, motorways, ferry crossings, parking and the chauffeur's expenses are all inside the quote before you leave.
The car stays with you
No waiting charges at the destination, no negotiating a return. The chauffeur is yours until you are back at the hotel.
The right vehicle for the road
Long motorway legs are quoted in an S-Class or V-Class VIP; winter routes towards Uludağ and Kartepe run on winter tyres from November.
Back the same night
Every destination below is a comfortable there-and-back day. Where it is not, we say so and quote an overnight instead.
Where guests actually go
Bursa is the most requested: two and a half hours over the Osmangazi Bridge to the first Ottoman capital, the Grand Mosque, the silk market and the cable car up Uludağ. In winter the same road serves the ski season.
Sapanca and Kartepe make the easiest escape — a lake, forest roads and a long lunch, ninety minutes from the city. Şile and Ağva give you the Black Sea coast, sand and river restaurants in under two hours.
Further out, Edirne rewards a full day with Selimiye Mosque and the Ottoman bridges, and Gallipoli with Troy is a long but genuinely moving day for guests who want the history rather than the shopping.
How a day is planned
Tell the desk where you want to go and what time you would like to be back. We plan the departure around traffic on the way out, build in a proper stop for lunch, and keep the return ahead of the evening rush into the city.
If you would rather not fix an itinerary, book the vehicle for the day and decide as you go — the price does not change with the route inside the region you booked.
Guides and entry tickets
Your chauffeur drives and knows the roads; formal guiding inside mosques, museums and archaeological sites is a licensed profession and we arrange a guide separately on request. Entry tickets are not included in the vehicle price.
Common questions
Bursa, Sapanca, Kartepe, Yalova, Şile, Ağva, İzmit and Edirne are all comfortable day returns. Gallipoli with Troy is possible but long — around twelve hours door to door.
