Hello Tuna,
It’s nice to you hear from you! We really enjoyed our tour, Toursce travel team did a really nice job of organizing everything. All the pickups for the tours and transfers were on time. Our family never had to worry about missing a connection or not knowing where we are going. The hotels you have chosen for our family were phenomenal, we absolutely loved the Marina hotel in Kusadasi city. Cappodocia trips were fantastic as well, really enjoyed our stay at the cave rooms. Our internal flights were always on time and thank you for doing a perfect job of arranging everything. Overall we really enjoyed our family tailor-made tour program and since then have recommended the Toursce to many of our friends for their visit to Turkey!
Many Thanks…

We had a pick up from the Istanbul airport at 4 am in the morning, we were delayed for two hours. Toursce’s guide was waiting there for hours, that was super kind. We gladly started our five days tour from Istanbul, Gallipoli, Canakkale, Troy, Pergamon, Sardis, Pamukkale, Ephesus, and finally our tour guide brought us to Izmir airport. The information, history, scenery, sightseeing, hotels, local restaurants etc, were amazing! Our tour guide took the time to show us the beauty of Turkey. The whole tour program felt really comfortable and when I come to Turkey back I’ll book again by Toursce travel tours! Thank you Toursce 🙂

I was a solo senior traveler. The accommodation before the tour started was very good & loved the area I was in. I rested very well. The tour package was extremely well organized and as said the tour guides were also very good. The overall trip was amazing & enjoyed every aspect of that. The accommodation on the last night was not the best! It felt like a huge factory turning over massive numbers of people traveling… I would be more than happy to recommend Toursce.com travel consultants for all the information given before the tour started & always giving a quick whatsapp answer to any of my concerns. Thanks again Toursce.com travel consultants.

We selected Toursce travel from a travel brochure from our friends and contact them online then organized a customized 7-day tour Istanbul, Gallipoli, Troy, Pergamon, Ephesus, and Cappadocia. Not quite the prescribed tour showed above. Our tour package mostly tailor-made program according to our travel time frame for our family of 5 people. Communication with the Toursce tour operator company while planning the trip was very good and mostly they are online on Whatsapp. Also, the entire trip itself was great and all personnel involved were terrific. Guides Esra, Begum, Hami, and Baris were knowledgeable, friendly, lovely, hardworking, and very professional. We couldn’t have asked more of them. Our hotels were included and they booked into the program were very good, especially the amazing Museum Hotel in Cappadocia and the Four Seasons Hotel in Istanbul. Also, our hotels in Kolin hotel in Canakkale and Charisma hotel in Kusadasi were very good. There were also drives to and from airports with no problems. We’d be very happy to use Toursce tour company again and have no problem recommending them.
