Dear Leyla,
Thank you for a wonderful and well organised tour of Turkey. I’ve listed some positives and negatives below:

• The transport was always on time, good quality and courteous.
• The hotels were good quality and always in the ideal locations close to the tourist areas and restaurants
• The tour schedule worked very well as well as the ability to customize it to our requirements
• The tour guides were all very knowledgeable and professional.
• The meals that were included, breakfasts and buffet lunches were good.
• Well organised and good value for money.
Small Negatives:
• The long bus trips, especially visiting the ancient Cities near Antalya
• The quality of the bus between Antalya and Fethiye was not so good and very cramped, while the bus from Fethiye to Pamukkale was luxurious and enjoyable.
• Some confusion about the IST24 notice at the Istanbul Airport, but not too serious.

I will certainly recommend Toursce to my friends.
