The historic significance of the places we visited was profound and moving. The experience, knowledge and sound common sense of our guide, Can Kocak, made the week enormously enjoyable. And we always felt at ease with Can’s driver, Murat, behind the wheel whether on wide-open motorways or twisting, turning ancient roads. We’re already planning our next Turkish adventure with these two pros in charge.

It was an amazing trip. Goksu Pamir was an awesome very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. He went out of the way to make arrangements for anything we asked for. He was very flexible to tune into our needs regarding the tour. It was supposed to be a small group but everyone else canceled so it was just three of us in an entire mini bus. So it felt just like a private luxury tour. All hotels were great and comfortable. The cave hotel in Cappadocia is phenomenal. We would not have been able to cover this many sites on our own in just 7 days. Highly recommend it 😊.

Our guide, Can, was excellent. He was knowledgeable and patient. The pacing for each of our visits was exactly what you’d want; most other groups breezed through without stopping to properly take the scenery in. He gave local recommendations for various foods and drinks to try, and organised anything we could possibly have asked for, frequently going above and beyond. The drives are long, but our driver Müjdat was safe and professional; plus a friendly guy! The majority of places you visit are stunning, though I would personally prefer to skip some of the more “shopping” based stops like Turkish rugs, leather store, and pottery. Don’t let that stop you from taking this tour, though.

We were lucky to have Fatih and Halil as guides for our small group. They were both very knowledgeable and accommodating, and they shared a lot about Turkey's history, geography, and culture with us. Hassan was an excellent driver the whole way through. This tour delivered as promised and covered a huge chunk of Turkey. I wish I had more time to see more of the country and to explore the places further but that'll have to wait until next time.

I joined a Turkey 7 day classics tour with guide Tamer and 7 other people. The tour was well designed and covered a broad range of sites and experiences from recent and ancient historical sites, to skilled craftspeople, local customs and fantastic scenery. Tamer is a very experienced guide. He knew all the small details about places we visited that made for perfect timing and a stress free trip. He ensured we had a relaxed pace for sightseeing and listening to him impart his knowledge of Turkey past and present. I had time to take some great photos too and time to get to know the other travellers. I’ve even made some new friends! Our driver Yilmaz was friendly and I felt 100% safe with him. I didn’t need to carry my luggage in and out of hotels which made life easy after a busy day. I was very impressed with Tamar as he was attentive and caring to everyone. The food was a real highlight. Breakfast and dinner were always generous and even more interesting as Tamer explained all about local foods and wine. Tamer gave me a real sense of historical and modern day Turkey. I hope I can come back some day to Turkey, Fez Tours and Tamer.
