    We had a concern about coming to Turkey before our holiday. After reading a lot of feedbacks, blogs, reviews, we decided to come to Turkey. We definitely have no regrets to be in here. That was the best part of my life to be in this amazing country. The Toursce team of Travel bazaar has recommended to us by our friend who has traveled with them before. Tuna was very helpful and kind to us and break our all prejudices before we arrive. Thank you very much Tuna for your all efforts. Hope we will be able to visit this beautiful country again.

  2. Aaron

    Our 8-day Turkey tour was fantastic as promised. Weather, travel organization, local tour guides, hotels, etc everything was perfect and expected. However, the Istanbul traffic is too bad in the afternoon, just horrible. We were about to lose our flight. Be careful about the Istanbul traffic. We would like to say our special Thanks to Tuna who coordinated my tour perfectly. Thanks again.

    Toursce Travel team booked a memorable and wonderful Turkey trip for us. Nice people in the offices as well as on the tours. We liked the Turkish people. We had a self private drive with Cevahir who drove us by car from Goreme to Pamukkale via Konya he is a very safe and informed drive. It was nice to visit Sufi Mevlana as well. We felt he went out of his way to make us comfortable on our vacation. All our arrangements were perfect. Thank you very much.

    We visited Turkey this Feb 2020. Our tour was organized by Toursce. We visited importatnt historical places like Istanbul Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Kusadasi.
    We joined the tours in each destination, and we enjoyed a lot. We had different tour guides in each places and all were great. As usual the vehicle was comfortable and grand. Pick-ups always on time. Especially, we loved Ephesus ancient City. Our tour guide Ahmed was awesome. We love him. He is very knowledgeable. On the way to the Ephesus He gave us lots of important information about Greek culture, and history. We wanted to know more and more. Turkey is such a great country, a mix of Eastern and Western cultures and cover lots of Eastern, Roman and Byzantium Historical Building. I am extremely recommend this company because they are really professional, honest and timely answers for all your questions and find very quick solution. You can contact with them anytime without any hesitation. Defenitly we will come back and use Toursce again. Special thanks to Mr. Tuna.
