    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We anticipated getting a negative review from you on different platforms regarding this matter. You asked for a compensation however we did not charge anything beyond what has been transparently provided in our tour details. We have communicated multiple times since September 9th regarding this matter, and in each instance, I have endeavored to clarify that the necessary information regarding the tour, including excluded services, was made available both online and through the documents we sent to you. Regarding your comment about Hidden Charges: Both on our website and the booking platform you used, it is explicitly stated that "Entrance fees are excluded" from this tour. You booked the tour on July 10th, and on July 11th, we sent you a pre-departure pack which also clearly stated the exclusion of entrance fees. The specific fees were listed on page 5 of this document. It is the responsibility of travelers to review this information thoroughly, including both inclusions and exclusions, to ensure they are prepared for any additional expenses during their trip. It is standard practice for travelers to review all provided information and inquire if any details are unclear. In your case, had there been any confusion, you had the opportunity to reach out before or after booking. Regarding your feedback about the guide, the guide you had is one of the most experienced professionals we have worked with for years. Your claim that "the tour guide was rude and shouted at multiple tour goers" is a serious accusation. If such behavior occurred, it should have been reported immediately to the management on the day it happened. This kind of behavior is something we would never expect from our guides, nor would our company tolerate it. it's important to understand that such accusations cannot be addressed or proven after the fact. Any concerns of this nature would have been best dealt with on the day they occurred, allowing us to take immediate action. We have received hundreds of positive reviews about this guide, and he is not a random assignment but someone we have worked with for years, who has successfully led hundreds of tours and interacted with thousands of travelers. Calling our company “scam” is a serious accusation. Our company has more than 1,200 five-star reviews. The Wonders of Turkey tour has had over 500 bookings since its inception in 2023, running every Monday from May through November. To date, you are the only traveler who has raised an issue regarding the exclusion of entrance fees. We take all feedback seriously, but we also value fairness.

About Fez Travel

Founded in 1997, today Fez Travel is one of the most reliable and popular tour operators in Turkey, carrying more than 10,000 passengers each year on our diverse range of Turkey & Greece tours. We are also one of the leading tour operators for ANZAC Day.  In addition, we enjoy long-term associations with some of the world’s biggest travel companies, providing their ground services in Turkey. 

Although we no longer operate the famous “Fez Bus” hop-on hop-off service that gave us our start back in 1997, the spirit and passion for travel that drove our early success lives on today and is reflected in everything we do.

For us, travel is more than just a holiday – we believe that it deepens our tolerance and understanding of historical, cultural and social issues.  This is reflected in our itineraries which strive to provide more authentic experiences to our guests, and in the approach of our tour guides when they are on the road. 

With Fez Travel you will see all of the “must-see” sights, but our expert local guides will show you plenty of hidden treasures as well.  We know that holidays are precious, and so we have designed each of our tours carefully to give you unforgettable memories and great value. Our travellers come from all walks of life and so our itineraries have also been planned to provide the perfect mix of sightseeing and free time.

We aim to show you the heart of both of these countries, and for you to walk away feeling as though you have had an experience, rather than simply ticked off a list of places to see.

Whether you are a history buff, prefer to get off the beaten track, or simply want to relax and enjoy the sun and sea, whether you prefer a small group tour or a more independent style of travel, Fez Travel has something to offer everyone.

Thier feedback is;

 

“My husband and I just done 7 day Turkey classics tour with Fez Travel (July, 20 - July, 26) and as we known, we were first tourists after pandemic breakdown. First of all we want to share our experience. In whole trip we have been so impressed - we saw a lot of unique historical places and a naturel wonders. I was little consern about long bus ride, but everything went smoothly - our bus was comfortable, driver was professional, Turkish roads were good. We saw thought windows real life and talk a lot with our guide about economics, religion, politics, history. Our guide Goksu Pamir was amazing - and it is very important to have good guide in long trip, your impression from trip depends mostly from him, his knowledge, his attitude, his passion for his country. 

 

Before we came, we checked how trip organized about anti-COVID safety and should say Fez travel did a great job. I can say that I feel much more safe in this trip than at home :) ! Masks mandatory for all ( free masks provided by Fez travel and all hotels, when we stayed), sanitazers, temperature monitoring, social distance - all these procedures provided through all places  we have visited. 

 

One cons - not all museums and attractions open. Some of them was successfully replaced by our guide. But some, like balloon ride or ethnic show, we missed. But maybe these will be another reason to visit Turkey again! “

    We don’t provide sleeping bags on our Anzac Day tours. As it gets colder during the night, we recommend you to have a sleeping bag for the night. You could bring your own or purchase locally, we do make a stop at one of the big supermarkets on our way to Gallipoli where you could make your own purchases.
  • Can we share with another solo traveller on the tour to avoid single supplement?

    The single supplement is not mandatory, we guarantee to match you with another solo traveller from the same sex.
