We are best friends of 4 people in Istanbul for our holiday and decided to have a 2 days tour in pamukkale, kusadasi and ephesus. We found a tour program on the web and contact them on whatsapp then took a taxi and go to their office in the old city. We got an arrangement by an agent (who was very friendly, nice, and funny) from the Toursce tour group. By the way, our tour program was very tough as we had to fly to and from Istanbul but we were impressed with the scenery and the hospitality of our local tour guides and moreover. We loved our sea view hotel that was very fantastic. All this tour was worth a visit.

I had booked a 2-day tour with Erkan from Toursce for Pamukkale and Ephesus. Of course, I had my inhibitions because I had made the full payment already and was worried about the arrangements. But thanks to Mr. Erkan and Mr. Tuna my tour was smooth and hassle-free. The travel arrangements were to the mark and the tour was a very memorable and awesome tour. Thanks, guys for the great tour and great memories. Totally recommended.

I and my friend found the Toursce tour company online and make a booking for Izmir/Ephesus and Pamukkale. Their normal tour itinerary is two or three days but we wanted an extra day. They had no problem accommodating all the requests on the program and even made some great recommendations of things we should see and places to go. We will definitely use them again for my next trip to Turkey!

I would recommend taking the tour for the Pamukkale/Ancient Hierapolis and Ancient Ephesus and Virgin Mary’s House they have included. This tour would add much value to your Turkey itinerary. Book one of the sea sight hotels in Kusadasi for you in part of the package. Because Selcuk town is not that good to stay. The tour guides are enough knowledgeable about the mentioned sights.
