TSC Travel - Okan as tour guide
 
During our recent overseas trip to Istanbul we were fortunate to experience a guided tour with Okan from TSC Tours. I cannot praise him enough. Okan was extremely knowledgable of Istanbul's history and its historical sites. He was professionally articulate, friendly, humorous and full of suggestions.He accompanied us to a rug store where we bartered for a rug - he suggested we visit the Spice Bazaar as it was less 'touristy' than the Grand Bazaar. He was full of anecdotes and background information of great interest to us. But more than anything we felt we had made a friend. Okan ensured our stay in Istanbul was a happy and memorable trip for our family (parents and 2 adult children). This is a 'must do ' tour ! We will be back.
Thanks Okan ,
the Lewis family from Perth Western Australia'

Istanbul, old city tour
 
Full day tour with Mustapha, our guide from TSC Travel. We spent a wonderful day as our guide was very interesting and knowledgeable. We visited the Topkapi palace, the blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, site of the hippodrome and Grand Bazaar. Mustapha brought us to a great restaurant for lunch. Since TSC Travel booked us at the Ferman Hotel, all were at walking distance. Ferman hotel was in very quiet street, clean and with hospitable employees. Would recommend TSC.
