My boyfriend and I chose a 7-day tour and visited Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, and Ephesus. All the staff were always extremely helpful and kind, responding to our messages very quickly. The pick-ups were always on time, and the group of tourists was never too large. The biggest group we had was during the visit to Pamukkale, and there were 15 of us. The hotels, in general, were all of good/excellent standard, and the rooms were very clean. If I can make a critique, in some hotels, breakfast didn’t have many options, as they mostly focus on savoury dishes. Personally, another thing I found a bit “heavy” were the numerous visits to shops selling typical products: at first, these visits were interesting, but then we were literally swarmed by the owners trying to sell their products. I believe it would be helpful to mention these stops in the initial programme and give the option to choose whether to visit them or not, as they eventually become tiresome, and personally, I would have preferred to visit other areas of interest. Overall, however, my boyfriend and I were very happy with the organisation, and Turkey turned out to be amazing! Highly recommended!
We just concluded an excellent holiday with family after being locked up for the most part of 2 years due to the COVID pandemic. We joined the seven days classic Turkey tour and had a superb experience. If you like nature travel and ancient history, it is a must do. Each location was amazing in the tour plan. Our guides were engaging, had great knowledge and passion for the subject and locations, and did a great job of never letting us get bored during the entire day tours. The drivers had a pleasant and comfortable driving style due to which we could cover the entire land services without feeling tired. The kids and wife loved Cappadocia and Pamukkale the most. But I loved Istanbul and ancient Ephesus the most. This was an amazing experience in Turkey with a professional and passionate tour company. Thanks for a memorable holiday. Will definitely recommend Toursce to anyone who wants to travel and visit Turkey.
Usually, my wife and I travel solo with our own itinerary but we realised that it’s not a good idea during this pandemic especially in Turkey. Toursce tourism group did a great job with their Turkey classics tour. Our guides on the tours were very knowledgable about the history and geography of Turkey, with facts and figures, and well organised, at times he was open to healthy debates. This program is really good if you enjoy deep history and being in the place where it happened. We wish we had two more days in Cappadoccia. Overall that was a great experience and will recommend highly especially if you are the first time in Turkey.
That was an engaging and memorable Turkish experience by true professionals. We just completed the Turkey tour itinerary. It’s our first time visiting the country and we can’t believe what an incredible experience we just had. It all starts with our awesome private tour guide and our dependable and friendly drivers in the tours. Their tour guide’s depth of knowledge and fun personality provided for an engaging and entertaining experience throughout the tour. Beyond the history lessons, he also shared some relevant insight into daily life for people in the country. Their tour guide consistently went above and beyond by being attentive to our questions and needs, supplying recommendations for unparalleled and local experiences, and putting in calls to make sure we had the best accommodations possible. Our favorite parts were Istanbul, Izmir, Ephesus, and Cappadocia. Throughout the private Turkey tour program, the hotel stays were always clean and in central areas. We especially enjoyed our rooms in Kusadasi with sea view and cave rooms in Cappadocia. With such a spacious variety of stunning sights, delicious foods, and unforgettable experiences in the destinations, it was clear how professional and experienced tour guides, drivers, and Toursce are. I highly recommend their tour service in Turkey!
We booked a 7 day historical and cultural tour of western Turkey through Toursce travels. It was an amazing experience. Thanks to our knowledgeable guide in each destination, we had astounding in depth tours of ancient cities and ruins across the country. We also had the chance to make great friendships with the other tourists in our daily groups. That really was as if we were literally on vacation together. Unfortunately, our international fights were rescheduled, so the Toursce travel group was able to quickly help us make arrangements to leave a day earlier, including transfer to the airport and same day covid testing at our hotel in the morning. Overall we had a wonderful experience on our Turkey getaway and I think a 7 days trip was perfect for us. We felt very safe, looked after, and well cared for all along with our stay. I would highly recommend Toursce travel group to anyone considering a trip to Turkey.
