More Details
Your Turkish adventure begins in the heart of Istanbul, where empires once ruled. As the call to prayer echoes across domes and minarets, you stroll through the old city, passing the Blue Mosque, marveling at the golden mosaics of Hagia Sophia, and stepping into the opulence of Topkapi Palace. Bazaars hum with color, scent, and sound, offering everything from carpets to sweets.
After immersing yourself in Istanbul’s magic, you board a flight to Denizli—gateway to one of nature’s masterpieces: Pamukkale. The shimmering white terraces welcome you like frozen waterfalls. You wander barefoot across the warm pools, camera in hand. Nearby, ancient Hierapolis whispers its stories through ruins and tombs that overlook the valley below.
Next, you follow in the footsteps of Roman aristocrats as you explore the majestic ruins of Ephesus. With a knowledgeable guide by your side, the Great Theatre, Temple of Hadrian, and Library of Celsus are no longer just ruins—they come to life with stories of ancient philosophers, emperors, and merchants.
After six unforgettable days filled with heritage, landscapes, and flavors, you return to Istanbul—your heart full, your camera full, and your mind inspired by all you’ve seen and learned.
We were planning a short trip to Turkey and we came across this tour on the internet. This 6-day tour takes you to three of the most iconic destinations in Turkey: Istanbul, Ephesus, and Pamukkale. The trip begins in Istanbul, where you'll get to experience the city's vibrant culture and rich history. Our tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and took us to all the must-see spots like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar. We also had the opportunity to take a relaxing Bosphorus cruise and enjoy some of the city's delicious cuisine. Next, we traveled to the ancient city of Ephesus, where we explored the well-preserved ruins of this once-great city. Our guide took us to all the highlights of the site, including the Celsus Library, the Temple of Hadrian, and the Great Theater. It was truly fascinating to learn about the city's history and imagine what life was like in ancient times. The final stop on the tour was the stunning Pamukkale, with its white travertine terraces and hot springs. We had the chance to relax in the natural pools and take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Our guide also took us to the ancient city of Hierapolis, where we saw well-preserved Roman baths, temples, and a theater. If you're looking for an unforgettable trip to Turkey, the treasures of Turkey tour by Toursce is an excellent choice. The accommodations were comfortable, the transportation was well-organized, and the tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the best of Turkey and its rich history and culture.
Our amazing experience in Turkey. Took the big family for a trip to ancient Ephesus and Istanbul.... That was a great itinerary, transportations, and guides organized by Erkan and his company Toursce Tours. Very knowledgeable local guides, all the arrangements were as he promised, great care to detail and our big family had a great time. Well done! Couldn't recommend using Toursce Turkey enough if you're going to Turkey. Thank you...
The hotel booked by Toursce has a great location in the old part of Istanbul and is within walking distance of all the major historical sites in that part of the city, we would highly recommend them to anyone visiting Istanbul. Below are some highlights from our holiday and interaction with the team at Toursce: Customer service is excellent. We really appreciated all aspects of it, especially the personal attention upon arrival and during our time in the city. Tour programs and local guides were excellent. Our local guides were fantastic, with great knowledge of all sites and we really felt like we learned a lot during our time with them. it was a really fun day with them on each tour and we would highly recommend taking a walking tour of the old part of Istanbul and the cruise on the Bosphorus! The transportations were excellent. Everyone was on time and knew where we were going. This made that easy for us to enjoy the views and not have to worry about logistics. Finally, Great Experience, Location, and Customer Service...
Great service in Turkey! I travel to Cappadocia, Pamukkale, and Istanbul for summer with 5 more friends for 6 days and it was all organized by Emin of Toursce Turkey and Sec tourism. Even before we came to Turkey, he was very helpful and aware of us. All the hotel recommendations made by the agency were great and we didn´t have any problems during our stay in Turkey. It's worth it!!! Thank you for everything, Emin and all your travel group.
Since returning back to Canada, we have not been able to stop raving about Istanbul and how unique of a city it is. I think we owe most of it to toursce.com travel team as they had everything covered for us starting from the day I landed at Istanbul Airport. Our guides were also very knowledgeable, had the answers to any questions we had. The foods were delicious and very unique, if you think you had Turkish Food in Canada before, think again... I would like to express my gratitude to the toursce.com team for their services and have already recommended them to many friends.
