Very good and clean service. Due to the covid19 problem, they provided mostly personal tours for Sahabas rather than group. Which was very beneficial and their guide was very knowledgeable. We visited other cities around Turkey and they were very nice too.

Every piece of this tour was amazing and the tour guide was full of information. Also, the underground masjid was beautiful as were the other Sahabe visits. Every part we visit has true meaning and connection to Islam and our beloved Rasool (SA). That’s truly faultless and goes straight to the heart and soul. Thank you very much to the team for showing us so much and letting us experience the true most delightful treasures of Istanbul. We will always treasure is close to our heart and inshaAllah return and do it all over again very soon. That was a day we will never forget. We have recommended your company to others as a must for a trip to Istanbul. InshaAllah we shall meet again next time for the same tour and visit other cities of Turkey with you.

The terrific organization with toursce.com travel team. My wife and I have been to Istanbul before, but this time, my parents wanted to come with me to do ziyarat of the blessed companions of the noble Prophet. We booked a small group tour package online. Brother Coskun was easily accessible via whatsapp. They collected us on time all the time and serve us the best. Their guide was really good. I would definitely recommend this group and we will come back to visit other sights of Turkey next time.
