Anzac Day Gallipoli
We did a trip a deal one for Anzac Day. Even at our ages 76 , it was a great trip. So glad we did it. Great group on our bus and great guides. Some hotels were off. But that’s the price for a budget deal. Tolerable.
Turkey has become very expensive however. Their currency is not worth much so they try to sell everything in euros. For Australians that expensive. Very expensive. The ballon rides at Cappadocia were something special. The dawn service was more special at Anzac cove and line line. The biggest downer was. Having to transit through China on on China southern airlines. The airline itself is good and efficient. But the transiting through the airport is ridiculous. So many checks and security and immigration stuff took the shine of it. And the airport is huge. And late night arrivals are often unattended by staff at transit areas.
BUT IT WAS WORTH IT TO BE AT GALLIPOLI FOR THE DAWN SERVICE.
TRIP A DEAL WORKED HARD IN THE SAFER ROUTING THROUGH CHINA INSTEAD OF MIDDLE EAST.

For a culturally rich and rewarding insight into Türkiye, tour with Irem.
For anyone wishing to experience a curated pilgrimage tour of an Anzac Day Dawn Service at Gallipoli and take in the breathtaking sites of historical Türkiye in this region, this tour is exceptional. We were guided by Irem, a wonderfully kind, caring and knowledgeable young Turkish lady who shared her wisdom and passion for her deep culturally and historically rich country with us.
Thank you Irem-you were the icing on the cake that made this tour so memorable.

Turkey tour
Had a great time on this tour. Our guide Irem was very knowledgable and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The highlights if this tour for me were Gallipoli on Anzac Day and the hot air ballooning in Capadoccia. Would highly recommend Fez Travel and, especially Irem.

ANZAC DAY 2025
Anzac Day at Gallipoli was the main reason for our trip to Turkey. We were so fortunate to be in a small group of 9.. Tamer our tour guide and our driver Hakan were wonderful. Tamer was informative and knowledgeable on all things. He gave us options and even asked if we needed Atms or supermarkets, taking us and helping with language, etc. So much more than a tour guide, more like a friend. Hakan treated us like he was driving his own family. All our accommodation was of good quality and staff polite and helpful. I would recommend Fez to anyone wanting to visit Turkey.

Gallipoli 11 day Major Tour
This tour was everything we were hoping it would be - and more. Tamer, our guide, was super organized, knowledgeable and hospitable. His vast experience as a guide, and his obvious interest in the history of Turkey, worked to our advantage. He is a top guide and was genuinely interested in his clients and their well-being.
Gallipoli was the main draw card and Tamer ensured we were well prepared for our night under the stars.
Our accommodation was consistently of a good standard and all the hotels were clean and comfortable.
Hakan was an excellent driver and we always felt safe. Together they were a great team.
We have no hesitation in recommending this tour and Fez Travel.
