  1. Majid

    An Excellent Excursion to Konya Sufi… Amazing spiritual day trip with TOURSCE.com and their very good local guide! We were fortunate he shared with us his knowledge and insight on history. Discovering the sites on foot was a treat popping by at streetside coffee shops for a Turkish tea and we traveled to many other hidden treasures. Couldn’t imagine a better company and he went beyond duty and we were sad to say goodbye to that wise man at the end of the tour. Definitely, we got way more than what we expected! May you always be blessed. ?

  2. Cristina

    It was the best-guided tour I’ve had anywhere in the world. Lucky to have had outstanding local tour guides in Turkey. He spoke very good English, explained Turkey from its original inhabitants to now with mastery and humor, highly knowledgeable, passionate about the land, at all times guiding us to the best in food in the city, sights, and opportunities to shops. For land, the size and beauty of Turkey with its long and deep history we were able to do in 14 days what might have taken several weeks: Istanbul, Cappadocia of the terrain and hot air balloon flight, Antalya, Pammukale, the Aegean coast, Troy, Gallipoli, Dardanelles. Stayed at good hotels including a cave hotel one, an experience. This tour service is the one to take to get introduced to Turkey, far surpassed expectations! Toursce travel team was punctual, precise on their tours, and we will highly recommend them.

  3. Shraboni

    After a lot of online research, I and my wife finally decided to try this tour company. Tuna made sure that we got all details on time he was contently in touch with us. Their selection of hotels was so good and all our local tour guides were excellent. Not but at the least, they offer great prices. Totally worth it for our travel package. In fact, we recommended them to my friends who like to make a Turkey itinerary for their vacation. Don’t think twice just book with this tour company and relax. Tuna will organize your vacation the best.

    My husband and I traveled to Turkey in February. We had an awesome Turkey holiday. Ms. Asli from Toursce Turkey arranged all our transportations, tours and tour guides, hotel accommodations and advised us of the places to visit. We are very happy with the whole trip that was well organized by Ms. Asli. She did a great job! I would recommend Asli for your Turkey holiday.

    Sometimes the key to the success of your holidays is to have a well-organized tour itinerary. Turkey’s vacation was a gift for my family. Being our first time there, we wanted to have a well-organized tour itinerary that could show us the beauties of this very interesting country with my family. We’ll leave the description of what we saw for another time but enough is to say at this time that it was a very enjoyable and perfect tour package. This brings us to the key to such a nice experience: a really great tour operator and his colleague in the field. Mr. Bilge Kaan from Tource Turkey travels organized for us great tours that kept us busy and excited with all the interesting things we saw there. Once we confirmed payment of the tour package, he immediately contacted us via WhatsApp to introduce himself and gave us a detailed explanation of what we could get from the tour. Some additional services that we could add in the program, i.e., hot air balloon ride, a dinner cruise on the Bosphorus with full attention to the details. Provision of a precise and detailed tour schedule so you can be sure of what, where, when, and how the activities would be done. During the tour program, we were guided by the excellent Ms. Ceren who has a deep knowledge of the local culture and history, which made her guide interesting and informative. She made sure that we could appreciate the history of Turkey and its rich culture. All with a great sense of humor and really care about her clients. She was always attentive to the guest’s needs and make the excursions really satisfying. In summary, a great tour itinerary made possible by a wonderful tour operator! We’ll make sure that my family and I will be back in Turkey and, for sure we’ll ask only one tour operator in Turkey who can make a dream come to true Mr. Bilge Kaan. Fully recommended!
