The marvels of ancient Turkiye
We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide Irem adapted the tour to suit our needs, answering all our questions & nothing was too much trouble. Her group management in crowded venues was really good & we were able to progress easily due to her organisation. Her passion for her job & her knowledge of the sites exceeded our expectations. Our trip included a visit to the fascinating Çatalhöyük Museum, one of the world’s oldest settlements to hot air ballooning. We completed the tour with a greatly enhanced understanding of Turkiye its history & culture.
The whole experience was well organised & the company was very professional in all aspects from pick up at the airport to punctuality of it’s drivers.
From our experience we would definitely recommend Fez Travel and our guide Irem.

Amazing Experience
My husband and I joined a small group Fire of Anatolia tour. Yilmaz, was a very good and helpful driver, who brought us safely to all our destinations in a brand new van. Göksu or G as we called him, was our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to our needs and comfort. We learned a lot about Turkey, especially its amazing history. As we visited Göreme, Cappadocia, Çatalhöyük, Heirapolis, Laodicea, Ephesus, Bergama, and Gallipoli, our tour guide patiently explained the history of all these places. It was an amazing experience for us to see where and how ancient civilizations existed, and where wars of recent past occurred. Aside from being extremely knowledgeable, our tour guide G also took care of us very well. He made sure we arrived safely at each destination and settled in at comfortable accommodations. The hotel rooms were very clean, the breakfast and dinner buffets/spreads were plentiful, delicious and nourishing, and staff were helpful and friendly. Overall, we had an amazing trip in Turkey, and we are happy that it was Fez Travel that organized it for us. Special thanks to our exceptional tour guide and driver! Tesekkür!

Fascinating historical Turkey
We just arrived home from a very enjoyable vacation. Cannot praise our guide Fatih Karci enough for all his efforts to ensure our trip went smoothly. He added thoughtful details that made our trip special. For example visiting a small traditional shop which only produces Helvalari for me on the way to Pergamon, yummy. He was extremely knowledgeable at the many incredible sites we visited. Through many discussions we gained insight into the significance of these sites throughout history and how they, philosophy, science and art influenced the rise of Constantinople. There is no getting away from the fact that Turkey is not a small country but the tour is structured so you are not on the road for too long between interesting stops.
