About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- ValMike20140 contributionsFascinating historical TurkeyWe 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. We would recommend this tourWritten November 30, 2024
- nancesj0 contributionsGood, but could be improved.It was a good tour, but beware the big sell (which the tour company no doubt get a cut!). Our tour guide was fabulous. Very knowledgeable and a nice guy. The itinerary was great, getting to see those things we wanted to. The accommodation was generally great, but compromised by cost vs location in two places (for a few extra lira we could have stayed in much better locations). Would have been 4.8 stars, except for the carpet/jewellery and leather goods stops. High pressure selling for nice (but massively overpriced) goods. Most of us felt both uncomfortable and annoyed! Sorry.Written November 22, 2024
- hunterc2170 contributionsSuperbSuperb tour. Especially solo on the tour I did, I knew there was a high chance of meeting fellow aussies and kiwis to see Gallipoli. Ask for Irem!Written November 22, 2024
- carolynahe0 contributionsMagical Turkey with Fez TravelTurkey is an amazing country to visit, and our guide 'G' from Fez Travel really brought it to life. We saw, learned and experienced such a variety of things, including bucket list items such as visiting Gallipoli and hot air ballooning in Cappadocia. Wow! From start to finish, the tour was seamlessly organised. Everything flowed and made sense. The hotels were impeccable for location and food; the day tours were relevant and the small coach and driver kept us all comfortable and on time each day, even on the longer drives. Well done to the team at Fez Travel, thank you.Written November 19, 2024
- Dream6410730 contributions4 days in TurkeyMy husband and I were guided by Omer, and driven by Cenghis on an overnight trip to Canukkale visiting the Troy site and Museum and Gallipoli. Omer was very knowledgable and had a lovely manner. He also guided us at the Hippodrome, Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, ant took us to good places to eat and to a carpet workshop and the bazaar. We had a good mix of being guided and free time. Omer also helped us with using the trams so we could visit the Basilica Cistern on our free day. We felt safe with Cenghis driving us.Written November 17, 2024
- anitava20180 contributionsExcellent tripWhat a great trip. Our tour guide Tamer, was the best. Extremely knowledgeable, amazing and caring. He provided an excellent description of what we saw. He was warm and friendly. Our driver Cengiz, did a fantastic job and was friendly. Overall I highly recommend this tour. CheersWritten November 12, 2024
- sherryk8510 contributionsAmazing Experience!This trip was amazing! It was the first time we had ever traveled with a group and thanks to our wonderful guide Fatih Karci, it was a great experience. He is so knowledgeable about the history of Turkey and his love for his country shines through! Plus, he shared much about himself so that we really enjoyed getting to know him on a personal level. The trip covered such a wide range of attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed the gulet cruise where the crew and the food were absolutely amazing! Also, Cappadocia was the experience of a lifetime! And Istanbul is filled with amazing beauty and history. Fatih did a wonderful job of keeping us together and yet trying to meet each of our individual desires. Also, we felt incredibly safe with the driver of our van. He truly was skilled at navigating the busy roads.! The accommodations were very nice....clean and with great healthy breakfasts at each. The food in general was really awesome and Fatih picked fun places for us to stop along the way. This tour covers a lot of miles but well worth it to see so much of the varied countryside. For us, this truly was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime. Thanks to FEZ travel and Fatih Karci!Written November 11, 2024
- Brook M0 contributions10 Day Magic Carpet TourThank you Goksu (G) the most amazing guide! My Magic Carper tour of Turkey with Fez Travel was a great experience, filled with rich cultural moments and breathtaking historical sights. Each location was explained in detail by our knowledgeable guide Goksu. The accommodations were thoughtfully selected, balancing central locations with unique local experiences like our unforgettable stay in a cave hotel in Cappadocia. It was a truly immersive and wonderful first time to Turkey!Written November 6, 2024
- jayceonw3510 contributions10 Day Magic Carpet TourThis tour is absolutely amazing! We had Goksu as our guide and he really made this trip for me. His knowledge of history, sights, timings and recommendations were spot on every time!! Touring with Fez makes everything so easy! They have a selection on the best hotels in the best locations and ensure you are enjoying the true culture and beauty that Turkey has to offer, every step of the way! Goksu and Fez did not disappoint at all! I look forward to seeing them again when I return to Turkey to explore the country further! Thank you Goksu and Fez!!Written November 4, 2024

- Maureen L0 contributions10 Day Magic Carpet Tour from IstanbulI was with 10 other people on this tour for the majority of the time. We were from different countries and we blended so well. Tamer was our tour guide. He is so professional and very caring towards the group, making sure we are going ok and caters to the amount of time guests want to stay at each site we visit. Nothing was too hard for him if we needed assistance and he has a wealth of knowledge. We all had a great time with him in charge of us. Gengisz was the driver and he drives so safely and is such a happy person to have at the wheel and helping with luggage as well. I’m so happy I saw Turkey with them at the helmWritten November 4, 2024
- derekh2530 contributionsFantastic Istanbul highlights. Brilliant day.Our guide Omer was excellent. He paced the day very well and fully explained the history of the sights we saw. Blue Mosque and Topkapi museum were just so beautiful and so much to take in.Written November 2, 2024
- Escape7199790 contributions13 Days Unforgettable Turkey Tour & Gulet CruiseWe took our first ever organised tour a 13 days unforgettable Turkey Tour including 3 night gulet cruise. I have to say that the tour exceeded our expectations and our tour guide G (Goksu) was nothing short of sensational, his passion and knowledge of the culture and history of Turkey was outstanding. He was professional, friendly, helpful and accommodating of our tour group needs and went over and above what was required, we all got on famously over the 13 days and will have the fond memories of G and Turkey forever in our hearts. We booked not knowing what to expect of a tour but we're grateful and extremely happy we made new friends and great memories. Thanks Fez Travel & Inspiring Vacations for putting together an oustanding and fabulous holiday/tour and recommend G our tour guide for your next Turkey adventure, he is the best and is unforgettable 🤗🥰 Loretta & GrazWritten October 30, 2024

Can’t understand why both these locations are not on Turkeys must see list for tourist!
The architecture and preservation is outstanding and some structures are competing with Romes many monuments!
The transportation from Kuşadası was good even had usb ports to charge you devices up and air conditioning too!
The driver Ramazan knew his roads and how to get to destinations asap Irem was best guide you could ever want spoke great English and knew her facts even happy to take your photo as well!
Can’t understand why this recommend trip by me is not in top 5 tours to see and do in Turkey! The place was sadly almost deserted it deserves respect for its amazing monuments that are still standing and it needs to be preserved for future tours and generations!
There’s plenty of signs around or can do audio tours yourself if you have a car or located nearby!
I only discovered it by googling historical sites in Turkey saw photos and knew wanted to go but many popular trip agency’s don’t list it but I found one with Fez travel as a solo traveller I was so appreciative to be there!
Wanted to add more pics but a taste of what can see and there’s more!

We have just returned from a wonderful day trip to Aphrodisias. Our tour guide was Emre, he is very knowledgeable and speaks perfect English. We had never been to this site before. We ate at a local restaurant and the food (included in price) was excellent. We were collected from our sitesi at 08.30 and we were back home at 17.00 We would definitely recommend this site for a trip. Paul and Mary Ireland.
