    We had a great time in ancient Ephesus. Everything was well-planned and there were little to no hassles and we enjoyed our program. Our travel agent, Mr. Coskun was readily available to communicate with whenever we had questions about our tour program. The highlight of our trip though was our day trip to Ephesus in Izmir. Our tour guide, Mr Harun was quite the storyteller/historian. That was a fun and tiring day but we had lots of pieces of information processed in an entertaining way. We highly recommend it.

  5. Jennifer

    A sumptuous tour of Ephesus. Toursce team, and their partners, and all of them were phenomenal and courteous. Tour guide Metin was our tour guide for this, and he was extremely superb! So knowledgeable and he has impeccable English to explain everything of the visiting sights in ancient Ephesus. We went to the Virgin Mary House, the famous Celcius Library, theater, and for a walk along the stunning famous marble street, and the lunch was at the local restaurant. Their program and its price were very reasonable and I highly recommend them.
