Absolutely fantastic - Charlie did an excellent job with our private tour, tailoring it to our needs (we had a short timeframe) and providing engaging and informative information on the various sites we visited, giving us time for photos and to look around without it ever feeling rushed. Would absolutely recommend Fez Travel for private tours as we didn't want to go with a busload of other people. Totally worth the (very reasonable) cost.
We are delighted to hear that your private tour was an excellent experience. It is wonderful to know that our guide expertly tailored the itinerary to your needs (especially given your short timeframe) and provided engaging, informative details without ever making the experience feel rushed. We are thrilled you had ample time for photos and exploration! Your feedback perfectly reinforces the value of our private tours: offering a personalized, seamless experience without the crowds. We are so pleased you found the cost very reasonable and that you would "absolutely recommend" Fez Travel. We hope to welcome you back for another expertly guided private adventure soon!
Omer Faruk guide and driver Cengiz . Omer was an excellent guide giving us the right amount of information at each stop and than time to ourselves to explore . We didn't feel rushed at any time. Cengiz was safe and friendly driver.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback. We’re delighted that Ömer Faruk balanced insightful guiding with unhurried free time, and that Cengiz’s safe, friendly driving added to your comfort. We’ll share your compliments with both of them. We’d be honored to welcome you on another Fez Travel journey soon.
Having chosen to visit Gallipoli, we contacted Crowded House Tours and asked them to arrange a private tour for us. From the moment we contacted them and communicated with Ramazan Altuntas, every step was professional and always communicated clearly. Ramazan arranged for Yokan to be our guide. Yokan met us at our Cannakele hotel, and we walked to the ferry to Kilitbahir. On arrival, we were met by our driver Ilhan, who drove us around the Peninsula. Yokan was such an informative and interesting guide - he brought every aspect of the battles and living conditions to life. His vast knowledge of dates was quite astonishing. We cannot recommend Crowded House Tours and Yokan and Ilhan enough.
I had been really disappointed in Istanbul, I felt frightened and abused by the aggressive store keepers and children… and then I met Omar. He picked me up, on time and had a very calm manner about him. He put me at ease immediately . He answered every question I asked and chose an excellent place for breakfast. He ate with me and the driver (I’m so sorry I have forgotten his name) and we talked together. Both men were kind, modest and excellent communicators. The destination was several hours from my hotel, but there was no time to be awkward. This tour changed my opinion of Turkey. Actually. I want to revisit it, but skip Istanbul and focus on other areas. Gallipoli was confronting… the areas devoted to AnZACS practically deserted, but the Turkish statues were crowded with bus loads of people. I liked hearing the story from a Turkish perspective. Omar gave the battles a grace and humanity that sometimes we forget about in war. It was a very long day, and on the return trip home I rested a little and was allowed to call the breaks I needed. We ate gozleme for lunch and drank the yoghurt water. It seemed to be a genuine Turkish experience, and one I will never forget! Thankyou Omar, and I know you will find your dreams one day!
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt experience. We’re so glad to hear that Omar was able to provide you with the comfort and support you needed during your time in Turkey. It’s wonderful that he helped change your perspective and made your tour to Gallipoli a meaningful and genuine experience. We appreciate your insights into both the historical significance and the personal connections made during the trip. It’s great to know you enjoyed the local cuisine and felt truly immersed in Turkish culture. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to explore more of Turkey’s beautiful regions in the future!
Very moving trip to the battlefields. If you are interested in the Great War, this is an excellent trip. The battlefields and trenches are still clearly visible. The museum is a must. Well worth the bisit

We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you on another journey in the future.
Do not use this company. I paid for my tour and they did not show up. I had a text message verification. My last day in zturkey snd now I do not get to go.
Unfortunately we couldn't do the tour due to a technical problem as we never received the booking from Bokun/Viator. When a booking is made we receive an email from Bokun / Viator however when this booking was made on 27th May we didn't receive any emails. Normally we check the dashboard regularly but as this was a last minute booking and as our office was closed on Sunday we didn't have time to check it before 29th May. As we explained to you on Monday, we explained the situation to Viator and Bokun and they tested the emailing system and fixed everything. We're really sorry. All we could do was to refund the full payment. Really sorry to hear that it was your last day in Turkey and you couldn't make it on another day.
