15-Day Flying Carpet from Istanbul

Posted By : shanesV42CG
Our tour guide Tamer and our driver Murat were very professional and knowledgeable and we felt very supported by them. Tamer helped with booking into the hotels, deciphering lunch menus and assisted us with all requests.
We were all enjoying the beautiful landscapes of Turkey.
Anzac Cove was very special and each day there was new cultural experiences. Turkey is a beautiful place and you should put it on your list!

I would recommend these 2 to everyone. 5+ stars

It was our first trip to Türkiye and looking forward to a good history lesson.
Our guide Tamer was the best. His knowledge of the history made it easy to understand all the places we visited
Tamer also introduced us to Türkiye home cooking and lunches were special
He also made sure we were safe and looked after each inch of the way and made our trip very enjoyable.
Murat our driver did live up to the magic carpet ride and any location we went to was easy safe and to the front door
Both Tamer and Murat made our journey unforgettable and I thank them very much for making our holiday the best
The trip and locations and port of call were the correct mix of old and new and I have a new understanding of Türkiye its history its family life and the friendly people I would encourage travellers to go on this journey and ask for Tamer and Murat
5 plus star trip

It was the trip of a lifetime!
We visited so many beautiful and fascinating places. I can now say I have walked where Alexander walked and stood on Chunik Bair where Col. Malone stoid. We visited places from antiquity, and from recent history. To go from Gallipoli (1915) to Troy (3000BCE) in 24 hours still blows my mind.
Türkiye is a fascinating country.

Our guide Tamer was great, full of knowledge of each place, helped us with ordering food, always ready to help with any little issue, and had a great sense of humour. Tamer managed to fit in a few little extras to add to the experience.

Murat our driver was a safe and smooth driver. I'm still not entirely sure how he manoevered the minibus through the narrow streets of Istanbul and Antalya 😀.
The hotels were all good, the Ruins hotel in Antalya and the Garimasu cave hotel in Cappadocia outstanding.
We ate well and I'm sure gained weight.

As an example of Fez travels service. We had booked a trip on the Bosphorus beforehand as an extra. Fez Travel had changed the itinerary to now include a trip on the Bosphorus as part of the main itinerary. Tamer came to see us at our hotel, explained the situation and proposed swapping the now extra trip on the Bosphorus for a visit to the Basilica Cistern and the grand and spice Bazaars instead. This was great and worked out perfectly
I can't recommend Fez travel and the team of Tamer and Murat highly enough!
Çok Teşekkür ederim Fez, Tamer and Murat.

This was a fantastic tour, with many fantastic cultural experiences. Our tour guide Tamer was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He was also very flexible with our schedules, to make our days flow better, and be more enjoyable. Tamer also found some very enjoyable extra experiences for us on our journey. We got to sample many local foods in places where the local people eat. Very tasty.

This is a great tour to see and get to know Türkiye. The itinerary and the activities are designed well to allow us to taste good varieties. Fez Travel delivered and made it possible for us to experience a lot of Türkiye in the short two weeks. I am glad I chose Fez to see Türkiye with and it's definitely worth the time and money.

Our tour guide Fatih Karci was very knowledgeable and informative about the history of the sites that we visited; it's obvious that he was passionate about presenting his country to us first time foreign visitors in the best possible way. Our driver Murat was excellent at his job, delivering us the safest and comfortable ride throughout the trip with a caring heart. Fez reacted quickly when one of the hotels wasn't providing the right services to the group, thumbs up. The optional activities, paragliding in Fethiye, Dervish dance presentation and air ballon in Cappadocia were all wonderful extracurriculars making my trip even more memorable and enjoyable.

Whether you are a history buff, adventure seeker, food lover or cultural explorer, go to Türkiye and you will find what you seek. It should be high on everyone's travel list. I sure will be back sometime in the future to know more of Türkiye.

I recently did the Flying Carpet tour and absolutely loved it. Our guide Fetih Karci was so passionate about his country and so knowledgeable about the history of the area we saw. His enthusiasm was infectious. It was great being on a small group tour and we ended up with a great group of people to spend our time with. Our driver Murat looked after us as well, and he was an excellent driver. We had one hotel that had a noise issue and Fetih passed our comments on to Fez Travel and I see on their website that they are now staying at a different hotel. It was nice to see they are looking after their clients and dealing with issues.
It was an awesome vacation. Turkey is a beautiful country. It would be great to see more of it.

The Flying Carpet tour exceeded my expectations! I experienced all that I hoped to and more, thanks to our very generous and informative guide Fatih Karci. His passion for his country and his knowledge of the history and culture was evident at every stop along the way. Together with our fantastic driver Murat, they ensured that we arrived at each destination safely and in good humour.
There were so many highlights along the way but the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia was definitely the standout for me!
Türkiye is an incredible country and this tour is definitely one of the best I have ever done.

We had the best two weeks in Turkey. It is an amazing trip, full of rich history, culture and the nicest food I have ever eaten
Our guide Fatih Karci was full of knowledge and made sure we saw as much as possible of this facinating country
You will get the most out of this experience if you are walking fit and can manage steps, slopes and uneven surfaces
One of our best ever adventures 😊

My husband and I have just finished a memorable 15 day Flying Carpet Tour from Istanbul including Anzac services in Gallipoli April, 2023.
Our Guide Cengizhan along with Ege and driver Baki took amazing care of us ironing out any glitches without us being aware. We felt so blessed by their care and all we experienced.
The Anzac experience was surreal for us as kiwis and my husband’s Grandfather having been there.
We learnt so much of history of Turkey, the challenge of hidden life the early Roman Christian’s faced by pagans hunting them down, the incredible ruins in Troy and Ephesus. These tour guides have so much knowledge to share.
Scenery we enjoyed everywhere, including stunning blue Agean and Caribbean seas, Pamukkale Travertines and spectacular perfect sunrise on high in Cappadocia.
This touched on Turkey, well worth while and yes we would take this trip again.

Thank you to Goksu our guide and Murat our driver for the tour. Goksu was excellent. All the hotels and restaurants were top quality. I would book again with Fez Tours and I highly recommend for the next holiday.
