Amazing trip to Turkey

This was an excellent tour starting and ending in Istanbul. The transfers to and from the airport were seamless and nothing was too much trouble. The guide Tamer was fantastic and made the trip for us. He knew the sites very well and how busy places would be and planned so it wasn’t too busy when we went. He knew the locals in each place and took us to traditional Turkish places to eat. His knowledge of the history & of modern day Turkey was fascinating. We fell in love with Turkey and would definitely use Fez travel again.

Operator response

Good times

Our guide Tamer was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had a classics teacher in our group and said after visiting Troy he was spot on. Tamer ensured we got to destinations in good time to be ahead of the crowd and made sound recommendations on where to spend our time. He gave presentations at each site visited and made sure we were in shade or away from the crowds so he could be heard. He had his presentation spots. A highlight was visiting out of the way authentic local cafes and restaurants. Our driver Yilmaz ensured that he parked in handy spots and was prompt and punctual. Met some great people in our group. Highly recommend Tamer and the team at Fez.

Excellent experience.

This was my first guided tour ever and I loved it. Fez was brilliantly organised and our tour guide, G, brought history to life with his wealth of knowledge and experience. Our bus driver Yilmaz, was a superb driver, even in harrowing conditions, through busy Istanbul to tiny streets in authentic villages. I highly recommend this tour to anyone with reasonable mobility as some of the paths are uneven and some are steep. I was amazed I could walk the same marbled streets as emperors, gods and saints. Truely life changing for me. Thank you to Fez, G, and Yilmaz for all you did to make our trip safe, happy and informative.

Fascinating tour of Turkey

Our tour guide 'G' was excellent organized and knowledge, as was our driver who had to drive us through snow from Pumakkale to Cappadocia. Unfortunately our hotel in Canakkale (MS Barbaros) was disappointing especially the breakfast. There was no juice and no toaster. However our final stop in Cappadocia was amazing (Gamirasu Cave Hotel). The rooms were wonderful and the location was beautiful. Finally the food was the best of the entire trip. Would recommend this trip
