Michael· September 25th, 2025Tour was excellent made even more excellent by the tour guide Can.Show moreTrip date: August 2025- Jonathan· May 27th, 2025An Amazing Experience Fez Tours is a wonderful organization. Our guide, Halil, was always professional, humorous, and there for us 24/7. Seriously. For someone who had to babysit nine Ausies, Kiwis, and Yankees for fifteen days, he deserves sainthood. Thank you for the wonderful tour of Türkiye. I learned so much. And kudos to Genghis our driver, as well. I would go back in a heartbeat.Show more

Show moreTrip date: May 2025 - MBMoira· November 3rd, 2024This was one of our favourite adventures! The pace was just right. A few things to do each day without getting up at the crack of dawn, but early enough to mostly miss the crowds. A few days for us to explore on our own and some stops with two nights in the same place. Hotels were varied and all quite nice, with some spectacular/unique. The best part? Our guide! Can (pronounced John) was knowledgeable, patient, helpful, sensitive to the group’s needs and had a sense of fun. He made us all feel safe and well cared for, giving us options to add/subtract stops. I can’t say enough positive about him. Would highly recommend any tour that he is leading! The other great thing was our fellow travellers. There were 5 of us on the tour and we got along so well that it would be hard to imagine the tour without them. They certainly added to the experience!!Show moreFez Travel commented on this reviewThank you so much for sharing your experience on the Flying Carpet Tour!

- ESElsa· May 26th, 2024This 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. I do recommend staying extra days in Istanbul after the tour as the city is easy and safe to get around and wonder around on your own. 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.Show moreFez Travel commented on this reviewThank you for your fantastic review!

- CMColin· October 29th, 2023We had an incredible holiday in Turkey on the Flying Carpet Tour run by Fez Travel. There was an initial problem regarding our tour guide who did not want to do the job and treated us accordingly but when Fez became aware of the issue they sent in the wonderful Fa to guide the rest of the tour and along with our excellent driver Yilmaz ensured we had an unforgettable experience. 10 out of 10 for Fa and Yilmez and a huge thank you to Gilmez and the crew at Fez Travel for listening to their customers and ensuring a great holiday.

- lisashlansky· August 15th, 2023The 17 day Flying Carpet Tour of the beautiful country of Turkey was absolutely fantastic! This tour led by our guide, Osman, was everything we could’ve asked for, and more! From touring the ancient and grand mosques of Istambul, to strolling the Ottoman style markets, to sailing on the Aegean and Mediterranean seas, to flying in a hot air balloon over the fairy chimneys of Kapadokya… This trip has it all! Osman was an an excellent guide, who shared a true love of history and passionate knowledge of all aspects of the country of Turkey both past and present! Osman was outgoing, enthusiastic and engaging throughout the 17 day trip. He paid attention to every detail and always looked out to ensure our safety and comfort. This tour by Fez Travel, was an incredible way of seeing and learning the history of this beautiful country and feeling the warmth of its people.

- BFBret· July 19th, 2022My holiday in Turkey was great, so I highly recommend it to anyone looking for interesting places, delicious food and friendly people. Touring the country was a fabulous experience, and that was primarily due to the efforts of my guide Omer (the driver Murat was also super). Omer was intelligent, courteous, informative and fun, and he was very attentive to my needs. He took me everywhere on the itinerary and even added some hidden gems when we had time for more. His knowledge of Turkey and its history is extensive, and he was great about sharing interesting information before we reached sites so I was prepared for maximum enjoyment. Omer consistently went above and beyond what you expect from your tour guide/manager, and I benefited greatly as a result. Simply speaking, he is great at his profession. Thanks to Omer and Murat at Fez Travel for making my holiday so special!Show more
Trip date: May 2022 - Andrew· September 1st, 2021This is an excellent way to experience the historical and cultural highlights of Turkey! We covered an amazing amount of ground in our 17 days and got to see and experience so much. Our guide, Tamer, was very knowledgable and helpful throughout. He explained everything clearly, paid attention to our specific interests and made sure we never felt rushed or like we missed out on something we wanted to see or do. We had no issues with the airport transfers, meals and hotels provided by Fez Travel and we felt really well-taken care of. At the end of our trip, Tamer even helped us arrange the COVID test required for us to fly back to the US. Highly recommended!Show moreTrip date: August 2021
