TSC
 
beyond a doubt the most competent and knowledgable tour company I have worked with I in thirty years of travel. Every person at TSC is helpful and competent. Taha Ozyavus is the best guide we ever had. If you're planing a trip to Turkey choose the local tour company TSC not the big impersonal tour companies who care more about your money than your experence

Excellent Trip
Had reservations about a tour as usually travel alone, but once on this tour with TSC was extremely happy. The tour was well set out and saw as much as we could with our limited time. The food and hotels were excellent and the information on our tour was informative and educative.
I highly recommend this tour. It is personal and friendly and a small size that means that you have a nice new 'family' while you are traveling.
The price also was excellent for what you got.
Highly recommended and have told friends already TSC is the way to go.

Okan Kutlu went out of his way to ensure all of our concerns were looked after as I was not sure how this internet booking and follow thru wold work.
So i called him on Skype and he set up a tour specific to our requirements and was always available to respond to us. mainly by email.
Our tour guide and driver far exceeded our expectations.They knew how to get around to all of the sites listed in the tour plus a few extra that we asked about and always found the most interesting places for lunch.
The hotels we had with all meals were top notch,all the air,land and hotel connections were flawless.(they were always on time at airport,hotels and last day departure back to Istanbul).
We were so pleased with all of the TSC Travel staff that we are now planning a tour to Egypt
next Sept with them.
