Top notch service with helpful staff and sympathetic guidance from Toursce team, thank you Toursce. I don’t know where to start the topic. I would like to express my endless respect to Tuna, who has always taken care of his interest and sincerity since the first phone call then continue to whatsapp conversations. I was very impressed that he never lost her interest as if we have known each other for a long time. This must be customer satisfaction. A huge 10 points from me for his travel information and his help. And of course tour guides I would like to express my endless gratitude to the local guides. Although they are a guide, they deserve a huge 100 points from me with their communication with people and their expertise and sincere behavior with an excellent management presentation. I would like to thank the Toursce team for all with its visible staff and invisible staff. I researched so much from Belgium and I am very happy that I was not mistaken. I hope to meet the same management on another trip.

I think one of the best things about Turkey is that it is a country with a lot of things to see and a lot of things to do in the country. And what Toursce Turkey gave me was more than a travel itinerary. It was an escapade with hassle-free, organized, and time-framed tours which are just right to a solo traveler like me. I admire Mr. Erkan, he was just awesome, cool, and definitely assuring my needs during the course of my trip. He booked me great central hotels and with him, I saw the exceptional Turkish hospitality. They even treat me to dinner and dropped me off at the airport on my flight to Cappadocia. Everything with my 11 days 10 nights exquisite Turkey holiday package was so smooth. Toursce is highly recommended. I will definitely book trips to Turkey with them again.
