The local tour guide Ramazan was wonderful, friendly, polite, competent, and well versed in history. Hotels in Istanbul (Sura Hotel), in Kusidasi (Charisma Deluxe Hotel), and in Pamakule (Clossae Hotel) were wonderful 5-star hotels. But the hotel in Canakkale (Grand Anzac Hotel) merited 3 stars only. I loved the cave hotel in cappadocia too. The historical sites were well preserved and out of this world. The drivers were polite and professional. All other parts of the tour were wonderful and at a very professional level. Hats off to Toursce.com travels and Turkey Travel Bazaar…

All hotels: in Istanbul, Ephesus, and Canakkale were excellent. Local tour guides and transports were friendly, courteous, and most helpful. Thank you and I would highly recommend tours of TOURSCE.com

Our private Turkey tour guide Ugur and our van driver Hamza were exceptional. As individuals or as a team they come highly recommended and I wouldn’t hesitate to tell people to make a personal request for their services. Ugur’s passion, knowledge, and genuine love of his country took us to a whole level we didn’t expect to experience. A once in a lifetime experience. One of the safest, friendliest places we have ever traveled to. It will be worth it. Thanks, Ugur and Hamza for going beyond the call of duty and responsibility. You were both the real Treasures of Turkey for us.
