The Magic Carpet tour 10 day that we did in late February to early March 2024 with Fez Travel exceeded our expectations. Our experience in the places that we visited was so amazing. We were so mesmerized by the beauty of Turkiye landscapes, by the richness of history and culture of the vast lands, and by the hospitality & genuineness of the people that we met during our trip. We would like to mention 2 special people that made our trip so magical: Tamer ( our guide) and Hakan ( our driver). Tamer was exceptional in looking after us, he was particularly good in details, he anticipated anything that we might need & always making sure that we were comfortable, safe and enjoy all the experiences during our trip. Tamer explained everything very well, not only about the history of the places we visited, but also the food, useful tips & hints of buying souvenirs, giving us free time to explore on our own while making sure that we were safe, well & catered for. Hakan ( our driver) was fantastic in making sure that we enjoyed the drive ( some days could be a long drive). Hakan was a very safe & smooth driver, even provided a step bench to help us getting on/off the minibus. I was really happy & grateful with the Magic Carpet 10 day tour by Fez Travel, and definitely would recommend Fez Travel to my friends and family should they wish to visit the beautiful & magical land of Turkiye.

Fantastic tour with fabulous fellow travellers and an excellent guide and driver. We spent two days in Istanbul then travelled through Turkey to learn about its culture and history while visiting some beautiful and amazing locations. Highly recommended with personal favourite -a hot air balloon ride at sunrise.

Magic Carpet Tour. Best tour ever - spectacular scenery, customs and culture. 10 full days of sharing and fun filled adventure across Turkiye from Istanbul, Gallipoli, Troy, Ephesus, Kusadasi, Pamukkale, Cappadoccia, Konya, Goreme, and more. Nothing was too much trouble for our guide Çeren and our bus driver, Yilmaz. Our group consisted of people of all ages and came from Philippines, Australia, New Zealand and USA and we encountered very few fellow tourists enabling us to meet and mix with the locals for our meals. All hotels were clean, comfortable and spacious Çeren was fabulous and also very expert in sharing all the necessary information and “fun facts” as the tour progressed. We all benefited from Çeren’s knowledge and sense of humour. We only had one small disappointment during the the entire tour and that was on the last day due to inclement high altitude weather - winds were too strong and we had to forgo our Ballooning experience in Cappadoccia. For that alone, we will need to return to Türkiye and have more fun, hopefully with Çeren and Yilmaz! Yilmaz kept the van spotless during the tour and managed our luggage with expert care and attention unloading, depositing it into each hotel and again collecting and repacking onto the van. He expertly navigated us through some crowded city traffic, particularly on the last day due to road closures and a football match. We would travel with Fez again and recommend both Çeren and Yilmaz to our friends.

Surprising small group tour of Turkey covering all the sights from Istanbul to Gallipoli, Cappadocia, and back. Travelled in super comfy clean bus by the excellent driver Baki, and lead by our super efficient guide Tamer. Schedule ran perfectly. All accomodation was exceptional…a very comfortable tour. Beautiful food and experiences. Highly recommended.
