Delighted with the service of the ToursCE team for our 3 d trip to Cappadocia from Istanbul, with family (including 2 children 10 and 14 years old) and safely: we have never heard of the conflict in the Middle East and life goes on as if nothing had happened, no feeling of insecurity. Of the 3 agencies consulted, ToursCE was the most flexible in response to specific requests. Nothing is imposed, it is à la carte and the team adapts, very practical. We chose a private tour for a dedicated organization. Leyla and her colleagues have always been responsive to exchanges including on site via whatsapp exchange, I got a quick answer to each of my questions even in an emergency, thank you very much. The planned organization was respected (flights, transfers, guide, visits etc.). Top, it's comfortable and safe. I haven't had a settlement problem since France, and for last-minute changes we always find an arrangement. Our French-speaking guide in Cappadocia, Demir Gultekin (French-Turkish dual nationality), was great, I enjoyed his calm, his general culture (a real open book) and his critical analysis of Turkish and French politics; he left us a lot of freedom of visit, useful for children while respecting the timing and gave us the choice between crowded classic sites or alternative sites without tourists (much better and authentic!) . In short a very nice trip. The only negative point is that the cost of living in Turkey (food and sightseeing, except transport) is very expensive (even more than in France!), far too expensive. Counting 40 to 70€ per person for the visit of each paying monument in Istanbul, it is delusional. And to find a cheap restaurant, you have to look long.

This company was very responsive and helpful and booking the 2 day tour was super easy. They were open to booking the domestic flights to and from Istanbul to match our itinerary. Our guide, in Cappadocia, was Caylan, and she spoke excellent English and took us to all the sites, often passing the crowds and long lines. The high-light of the 2-day trek was the hour-long morning balloon ride. The 1st day was cancelled due to weather/wind, but the last day we got up in the air at 6am and saw Cappadocia from a different perspective. Was amazing! There was never a security concern before, during or after our tour in Turkey - felt very safe and secure he whole time.
