Glories of Turkey 12-Day From Istanbul

Had a stunning experience made all the more meaningful by our guide Irem. Her historical and local knowledge added life to the historical sites. Thanks to Hakan our driver who had the patience of a saint on some tricky roads. Would love to come back and explore Turkey further. Great job team

Excellent experience - guide Irem was wonderful - diverse attractions- Driver Cengiz very good - Gulet trip could have been better

Loved all of it. Turkey was everything I expected and more! Our Tour Guide was so patient with a wide range of ages in the group. Love Fez Travel!

Our guide - Irem and driver - Murat were amazing and this was an excellent tour. Irem was friendly, knowledgeable with a good sense of humour. Murat was ver friendly and great driver. Transport was spacious, new and very comfortable. Hotels were great - especially in Cappadocia. Saw amazing sights, ate lots of delicious local foods that Irem and Murat would recommend. Tour was an excellent balance of things to see and highlight was balloon ride in Cappadocia and the Whirling Dervish’s. Irem and Murat were always punctual, everything ran like clock work with them, but with enough flexibility for us. Highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in history and culture.

My husband and I have just returned from 12 day tour 'Glories of Turkey'. What a wonderful time we had. As the only two people on the tour ( everyone else who booked had cancelled) we felt very special. Our tour guide, Tamer was very friendly, knowledgeable and respectful while our driver, Mustafa was a friendly and careful driver. Both very reliable and time wise. Tamer was also happy to adjust some aspects of the tour (as we were only 2) free time, shopping etc. to suit us. The Turkish people are so lovely we just enjoyed sitting and being in their company and watching the world go by. And the food!! Thanks Fez.

The sites we visited were awesome. An excellent introduction to Turkey. A highlight of the tour for me was the 3 days on a gulet boat. The weather was perfect and we swum up to 4 x a day. The chef on board cooked delicious tasty meals and there was more than enough. Tamer our guide was thoughtful to start our day early so that we missed the crowds and the intense afternoon heat. Accomodation along the way was good as were the breakfasts. I had the misfortune of my luggage being lost but our guide Tamer helped me to complete the application for compensation and phoned the baggage office everyday for me. Our driver was professional and I never felt unsafe. The bus had great air conditioning and darkened window against the heat.

Our guide Fatih Karci was great as was our driver Murat. We had an excellent group of only 5. The historical sites were excellent. And most of the accommodation was also good. None of us thought much of the Nidya in Istanbul - it stunk of cigarette smoke it was very tired and not iof good standard and most of the staff were very indifferent. There was one very nice lovely young lady on our final evening though. I would biggest accommodation in Sultanahmet as everything is right there. The historical sites visits were excellent as was the hit sir ballooning but we didn’t like the hard selling especially the heather garments - it was awful !!

I did the 13-day 'Wonders of Türkiye with gulet' tour, and what an incredible experience it was. I was thoroughly engaged from Day 1 to Day 13. Our guide was Halil and our driver was Akim until we got to Cappadocia. Halil was charming and his knowledge and passion for this wonderful country was the icing on the cake. Always calm, always ready to answer our endless questions, ever respectful and seemingly tireless. I left my phone at Dolmabahçe Palace on Day 1 and Halil phoned and discovered it has been found and made sure I got it back again in the rush before closing. Akim was a good and careful driver and he and Halil were a great team. Our group was comprised of varying fitness levels and I was impressed by Halil's skill in managing us all with his ever patient manner. The highlight for me was learning about the history of the ancient civiIisations that all contributed over millenia to current day Türkiye. I highly recommend this company.

Our tour guide was Fatih Karci who expertly managed our 11 person tour to great effect. We have one difficult member of the tour who challenged Fatih on a daily basis and appeared intent on disrupting the group.He managed this person with aplomb and skill and the rest of us had uninterrupted touring pleasure. I commend him on his professionalism and recommend him to you if you have a choice. We were entertained and educated and always amused. Thank you Fatih. Both you and Turkey exceeded our expectations.

I went on tour with my mother to Turkey on a 12 day tour. This was a perfect introduction to Turkey, learning about the culture, history, people and food. The group size was under 15 people making it perfect for getting around and asking questions. Our guide Göksu made the trip. He had incredible knowledge and patience, ensuring that we never felt rushed and that all information we asked for was always covered. There were all kinds of different fitness levels amongst the group and the pace that we moved at, ensured no one was left behind. Things were organised on tour in advance and we never encountered issues with table reservations or experiences. I'd travel with FEZ again and may even try out another region of Turkey to experience more.
