        Wonderful Overview of Turkey
        I rate this tour 5 stars. I had been on tours before, 2 others, but my girlfriend who I brought with me this time, had never been. She had an absolute blast. We booked (accidentally) at the barely beginning of their tour season, winter was just ending, so it ended up being just the two of us on the tour, like a private showing almost. Our Fez Travel driver, Seyfi, was skilled and even arrived us at locations ahead of schedule. The itinerary is great, with a mixture of historical/archaeological and cultural destinations that really give you a taste of Turkiye and its culture and history. Our tour guide, Tamer, was a real star, incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. He took us to a few destinations extra that weren't in the itinerary, made sure we got good deals at shops and restaurants, and was flexible with our wants. There was only one small snag in the entire itinerary and Tamer skillfully fixed it for us, other than that nothing even went off course.

        Had a wonderful day. Excellent tour.
        It was a wonderful day tour and the shore activities and the ferry ride on the Bosphorous was excellent. We had a wonderful day and for first impressions of Turky and Istanbul it couldn't have been better. Our guide “Ömer” was very knowledgeable, and gave us plenty of time, didn't rush us and was great to talk to. His English was good too. Strongly recommend this tour and guide.

        Interesting and easy
        Tour was very interesting and with variety. My tour guide Omer was very helpful to me as I have knee wear and difficult to walk distances. There were no early starts and were able to vary itinerary due conditions and what you wanted to see

        Gallipoli and Troy in 2 Days, just Right!
        Words are hard to describe the experience of Gallipoli…As Australians we felt a deep emotional connection. This was enhanced by Omer’s detailed knowledge and local perspective. His Troy stories were also enlightening. Omer tailored his commentary and itinerary to our specific interests. Our driver, Murat was exceptional! Both staff were obliging, attentive, friendly and very professional. We would highly recommend this experience!

        Our Turkish experience.
        A wonderful tour. Our guide Irem was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. Our driver Murat was safe and experienced. The tour was well organised yet our guide was flexible. On becoming ill our driver and guide were extremely supportive and efficiently organised our return to Istanbul.

        Istanbul -family trip
        Thanks to our tour guide Omar and the team for the great trip. We spent a few days in istanbul visiting the mosques and monuments. The team was flexible and kind. Unfortunately everything is really expensive at the moment and I wouldnt say worth the quality in regards to shopping and food but the mosques and historical places are beautiful.

        Brilliant historical tour of Turkey visiting 5 cities and experiencing the history and culture of Turkey
        Excellent private tour for our family. Stated in Istanbul, then to Cappadocia, Kusadasi, Pamukale and Antalya. Private guided tours throughout with excellent guides. All pick ups and drop offs perfectly arranged. Very professional and on time. No hassles at all. Constant communication with tour co-ordinator Ms Pinar. Would definitely recommend tours with this company.

        Amazing 10 day tour
        The 10 day tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia was incredible. The food was delicious and each part of the trip was memorable. Our driver Cengiz was experienced and safe, and he made our travelling comfortable and easy. Our tour guide Halil was very considerate and knowledgeable, and made our tour of Turkey engaging and hassle free. He always gave excellent information about the history and significance of the many sites we visited and never rushed us around, giving us free time to explore at our own pace. He answered our questions and queries and made sure everyone was happy and comfortable.

        Wonderful tour of Troy!
        Ömer, our tour guide, made this tour very enjoyable and interesting with all the historical knowledge that he shared with us. He was friendly, respectful, and patient. The drive from Istanbul is a little long (4 hours), but our driver, Seyfullah, was so good that we didn't feel the length of the drive going or coming back. We highly recommend this tour.

        Fantastic Turkiye experience
        We started our tour in Istanbul with Irem. Our day in Istanbul was fantastic. We were incredibly impressed with Irem's knowledge and presentation. We then went to Gallipoli, Troy and on to Ephesus. Again, Irem was able to give us so much history and knowledge of these places. We are very grateful to Irem as she made this part of the tour perfect. For the last part of the tour we joined with another group with our new guide Ege. He was also knowledgeable and professional. Always ready to answer questions and make sure we understood the itinerary etc. Hekim was our driver. A pleasent, friendly man. He had to drive in some very challenging conditions on the last day through heavy snow. We felt safe at all times. Great driver.

        Great trip!
        Great tour including Gallipoli, lots of historic sights and natural formations. Our guide Tamer and driver Murat made everyday flow smoothly, with flexibility to leave or arrive earlier to beat any crowds and allow time at the end of the day for relaxing. Food and accomodation was excellent. I would definitely recommend.
