    That is about a year since we visited Turkey. We booked online a couple of months before our travel. We were a family of five and I am so happy with them. They were prompt receiving us from Istanbul Airport to the hotel to all other places they arranged from airport pick-ups to hotels to local tours to guides to everything well arranged in our tailor-made tour program. We used them to book internal flights and hotels, daily tours, airport transfers, hotel pick-ups, and all land services. Except for the hotel in Istanbul where we booked our own. I think we should have booked with them for the hotels in Istanbul too. They made our vacation so easy and we could rely on them. Everywhere, Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Ephesus, Bodrum, Kusadasi, Antalya, the local guides were courteous and very helpful. And excellent coordination, hassle-free hand-off from one city to other. We had small groups too, so I do not like big groups. All we recommend them. Thank you, guys. So sorry for the delayed review. As we are planning a trip to Greece and Egypt, I am trying to see if these guys offer there also.

    Dear Erkan, we have been getting from our past clients below… Nora and I are back in Denver and desperately missing Turkey. We want to thank you for all your hard work putting this tour together for us. You and your partner in Turkey were very kind and patient with my all inquisitions and requests, and for that, I am truly thankful. Also, We would like to express my gratitude for your efforts to pair us with fabulous tour guides. All Toursce travel team were great. As I already have expressed to you, Coskun was a perfect travel consultant in Istanbul. His mobile and whatsapp were open all the time and we were chatting with him when we need. In the Cappadocia region, we loved exploring the countryside with Aylin. She was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the Cappadocia area; you couldn’t have chosen a better guide ourselves. Lastly, Emir was a wonderful guide during our Ephesus and Pamukkale tour. He also took us to the best local restaurants for the lunch we had on the tour. I also want to clear up some confusion that Bilge may have communicated to you. While we were in Cappadocia, we toyed with the idea of extending our trip to Fethiye by one additional day, thereby cutting out our stay in Sirince. We are so glad that we did not go through with this because we spent most of the day touring ancient Ephesus and its surroundings, so we were exhausted and ready for a good night’s sleep in Sirince village. The hotel was the perfect escape. Lastly, there was some confusion with our return flight from Fethiye Dalaman to Istanbul Ataturk Airport. Luckily, the wonderful host in Turkey contacted Coskun and straightened it out. Overall, our vacation was impeccable, and we will be recommending your company and your partner to all of our friends and family. Thank you again for everything, and please stay in touch!

  3. Talia

    I’m grateful to the Toursce and Travel bazaar family, especially Erkan who was our tour consultant. He has recommended to me by friends of mine. As per my request, he made a few changes to the itinerary then we agreed with the travel plan. All of my arrangements well organized. Transportations were on time all the time, tour guides were informative, helpful & kind to us. Erkan was answering my questions all the time on whatsapp when I need him. Now I know this I have a friend in Istanbul. I am going to come back very soon and visit my office in Istanbul :))

  4. Kim Lee

    Visited Turkey through Toursce travel services with family for 15 days in 2019, It went very well with great support from Eray.

He provided very good accommodation in all locations as promised before our booking of the tour package. Excellent tours and very well managed by Eray from ToursCe travel in Istanbul and Turkey.
