View allThe one thing I didn't like was the amount of time we had to spend sitting in a van. It would also be nice to stay in one city for more days.

- AAmy· June 2nd, 2025The tourradar service was really efficient. We had booked the magic carpet tour to Turkiye by Fez travel. Gizem was very timely in her responses and great with communication during the entire booking process. Our tour guide Mr. G was very knowledgeable and also suggested very nice extra places that weren’t on the itinerary. The places we visited overall were amazing, rich in history and beautiful views, and the driver (I think Mr. Hafiz was his name) had a great deal of patience driving for long hours and making frequent stops for breaks. It was just my sister & I, and another couple in the group, and we felt extremely safe the entire time which was very important to us! It’s been 1 year now and I can’t wait to go back. That was a trip of a lifetime:)Show more
Fez Travel commented on this reviewThank you so much for your wonderful review of our Magic Carpet Tour! We're absolutely thrilled to hear it was a "trip of a lifetime" for you.

Show moreTrip date: August 2024 - BGBridget· June 1st, 2025The overall itinerary of the tour makes logistical sense, but I kept waiting for a more detailed itinerary than what is available when booking and it never came. I felt very in the dark about how the next day would unfold. I tried to book additional excursions before we left, but was told I would do that during our welcome meeting with our guide. During the welcome meeting our guide told us no we’ll book those as we go. So all of the add-ons (some of which ended up being more than the listed price) had to be paid in cash which would have been nice to know beforehand. Additionally, they accepted euros and dollars which also would have been helpful to know beforehand so we could have brought plenty of cash from home without paying atm fees. Our guide made several suggestions about slight changes and additions to the itinerary to make our experience better. All of which ended up being the right call. He and our driver did their best to cut down the time spent on the bus. Overall everyone seemed very capable and knowledgeable but there could be an improvement in communication before the tour begins.Show moreFez Travel commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're glad to hear that you found our team capable and knowledgeable, and that your guide and driver made efforts to enhance your experience throughout the tour.

- CHChristine· November 5th, 2024Firstly I must say that I agree with the previous review left by Moira. My husband and I were actually on a group Easymade Turkey Tour. For our time in Istanbul we had the wonderful Can as our guide. He really cares about his guests and goes out of his way to give the best experience. We then became part of another group for the rest of our excellent tour. Our guide Goksu was very good, professional and looked after us very well but didn't join in socially with meals, photos etc. The extra Cappadocia balloon experience was amazing and is a must! We made friends in both groups and are planning to catch up with some in Canada and hopefully others in the UK next year. I want to thank the drivers as well who drove many hundreds of miles very safely.Show moreFez Travel commented on this reviewThank you for sharing your wonderful experience on the Magic Carpet Tour!

- ARAl· September 14th, 2024This was a really great tour. Our guide Can was brilliant. Very well organised. He was Turkish so knew so much information and tips. We were always in the right place at the right time and avoided crowds all the time. Our driver Cengiz was also fantastic, very safe and careful.Show more
Trip date: September 2024 - Ania· August 8th, 2024Fez Magic Carpet Travel with Mr. Goku Pamir was an amazing experience. He was professional, knowledgeable and understanding. Our group was able to add some places, thanks to him arranging it for us and adding a boat and House of Mother Mary for us. We even saw mulana Rumi's place and learned about Sufi dance , which is the best. He surprised our group with 4D theatre at the library of Celsius and showed us original Carpet, Silk, and Leather makers. Overall, it was a wonderful experience because he stopped at the best food places for breaks frequently and even gave us a small keychain as a reminder gift or souvenir besides the gifts Fez gives us. Fez travels offers wifi and charging ports in their bus which is a life saver. Hotels and places visited were all beautiful and I recommend visiting Turkeye with Mr. Goksu Pamir. Thanks.Show moreFez Travel commented on this reviewThank you for your wonderful feedback!

- AAnonymous· August 8th, 2024Fez Magic Carpet Tour was Wonderful experience with our guide Mr. Goku Pamir. He is very knowledgeable and took us to some of the things our group decided suddenly like boat and House of Mother Mary with everyone's consent. He even gave us a small keychain gift besides all the gift pack Fez gives to travellers which is very nice of him. His tour to Selcuk and other places for Original leather, Silk and Carpet makers was an excellent one. He surprised us with 4D theater tickets at the at the Celsius Library. Lastly, the Sufi culture and Mulana Rumi's place was the best. I would recommend him as a guide as he takes care of travellers by frequently stopping for food breaks at best places during travel and arranging everything for us ahead of time. Overall, Mr. Goksu was very understanding, professional, and knowledgeable in every aspect for the travelled places in terms of population, geography, food produced and history /art of the place, which benefitted all of us. Thank you for reading this review.Show moreTrip date: August 2024
- Googly· May 16th, 2024The selection of Nidya Galataport is a bad choice. The hotel is outdated and most things are not functional. The seats in the minibus were cramped and worse than a budget airline. We could not even stretch our legs. The last phase of the trip involved sitting in the bus most of the day. At the end of the trip, we had cramped legs. The bus is at best only good for a ciry trip. This is the first ever trip, where we were not given bottled water in the bus. Each day started at 8 a.m.. We spent precious cool mornings inside shops and got roasted as we were taken to visit places. Schedule shopping to noon or after lunch.Show moreFez Travel commented on this reviewWe're glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip overall, despite the issues you encountered during the first two days.

- SCSusan Annette· March 20th, 2024Fez Travel packed in lots of sights and things to see and do. I liked the variety in our stops and sights. Well planned except for the last couple of days. Somehow, they need to be tweaked so there are not so many unreasonable night departures. I would have rather paid a bit more and had the meals ordered when we sat down. Buffet meals were luke warm, over cooked, and meats were so dry from heating for long periods. The meals we sat down and was served were much better, tastier, better variety of foods.Show moreFez Travel commented on this reviewThank you for your detailed feedback.

- Erni· March 10th, 2024A fantastic experience of beautiful places in Turkey with Fez Travel. We were so lucky to find out that we had the tour as a "private" tour as we were the only guests that booked during the time we wanted to have it, yet Fez Travel didn't cancel the tour. The hotels for our stay during our tour were great, all breakfast were included ( all had a great selection of food ), and most dinners were included ( except a few days when we were in Istanbul). I'd like to mention 2 special people who made our tour so magical & enjoyable: Tamer ( our guide ) and Hakan ( our driver). They both looked after us so well. Tamer is a great tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly & welcoming, and managed the itinerary & time very well, yet gave us some free time/ flexibility to explore on our own. I definitely recommend this 10 day Magic Carpet tour with Fez Travel to experience the amazing landscape of Turkey and the hospitality of its people.

Asked on January 31st, 2025I have 2 clients who asked specially to spend their next summer vacation this year in Turkey, and this tour seems perfect for them, but they can walk 1 h and 30 min max., due to medical issues, can you tell me if this tour is adequate for them?
- Fez TravelOperator•Written January 2025
The day tours may require 1,5 - 2 hour's of walk at the sights we visit. As they'll be travelling with a group of people, they will have to catch up with the group.
