  The accommodation exceeded expectation as did the rest of the trip. Our coach was a new Mercedes and our driver Eirem was exceedingly competent. There was also a good mix of seeing the top commercial products of Turkey and the historical sites. Our guide Tolga was also very knowledgeable on many topics and looked after us extremely well. All in all very good value for money and we have wonderful memories of Turkey.

  Wonders of Turkey (Summer, 11 Days)

  Fez Travel gave us a wonderful,  professional, and well-organized tour of Turkey.  We took the Flying Carpet tour, and in 17 days we never wearied or had cause for any discomfort.  We started out with 4 people in our tour, then 2 went on different tours so for about 10 days it was a private tour.  Goksu was our guide, a consummate professional while always kind and extraordinarily helpful to all the small and great needs that arise when you are undertaking such a major journey.  Goksu was also highly knowledgeable about every aspect of Turkey and answered all of our questions, from the most serious to the most trivial, in a thoughtful and relevant manner.  (We are academics and historians and we found his mastery of his subject matter impressive.). As a seasoned guide he was able to take us to interesting lunch venues that were more authentic and out of the beaten path. On the whole, Goksu went out of his way to make sure we were getting more or less everything we asked for or needed.  It was also very well-managed pre-tour, with Canan in the office willingly connecting us many times by zoom and email to help us feel we would be safe traveling during the [hopefully] winding down phases of COVID in Turkey.    (Which indeed we were -- all our worries were groundless and on the whole Turkey was a lot more  uniformly COVID-prevention-conscious than U.S.) In terms of the content of the tour it was a mix of key archaeological, historical and cultural sites and towns, a few cities including Istanbul, Antalya,  etc. (see tour itinerary),  resort experiences, and wonderful beach, swim, and boating experiences  on the Aegean and Mediterranean coastlines.  The optional boat tour in Fehtiye is not to be missed for the views and swims off the boat.  Cappadoccia was of course uniquely interesting. The Flying Carpet tour involved extensive driving,  over 3000 km from Istanbul along the Aegean coast to Ankara.  It gives you a very good idea of the landscape of the western half of Turkey, and if you like views of mountains and coastal drives it's informative and fantastically rewarding.  Yilmaz the driver did a great job transporting us in a 14-seater van through the entire journey in an always friendly, and consistent and safe way.  The pace of the tour was just right for us,  with sufficient time for meals, breaks and free time so that it felt like a vacation despite being on the road and changing hotels so often.  The accommodations were good to very good, with the hotel in Bodrum , Kusadesi, and Pamakkule with fabulous pools. We came during a season  and circumstance when there were a lot fewer tourists , so everything, including swimming, was delightful. Finally, we came to Turkey not really knowing what to expect .  We found local people very welcoming and friendly, and the country's deep and varied history, culture, and geography mesmerizing., and the people we met really easy to get along with.  We've traveled quite a bit worldwide but this trip stood out.  Turkey is a secular Muslim country but as a foreigner  there was zero accommodation to be made to adapt.  It was also possible to eat quite well as a vegetarian,  and more than a few restaurant meals were outstanding, especially if you can peel away from touristic joints.  Recommend getting advice about where to eat from your local hotel or guide.  We did not like either of the 2 restaurants we chose for ourselves (both in touristic areas) -- not the food nor the vibes.  Turkey also produces good wine! In short, this was a great deal for a fabulous tour.  (We'd rescheduled from the year before because of COVID and Fez Travel kept the same prices even though most of it was just the two of us.). We will definitely turn to Fez Travel if we decide to do another tour of Turkey which we very well might after this experience.

  Very well organized tour. I was lucky to be in a very small group (3 persons); it was almost a private tour. They honored all what they advertised; we visited all the sites mentioned in their brochure. Hotels were very good to excellent. Whenever we had any small problem the guide would intervene to solve it. I highly recommend this tour (in Turkey). I went to another tour with Fez in Greece and the Balkans, they deal with a local agency in Macedonia, it was much less well organized.
