Truly an exceptional experience!
From the time we were met at the airport to begin a 13 day tour of Turkey from West to East we experienced nothing but outstanding professionalism and engaging moments. I cannot say enough about this trip and we had quite possibly the best and most informative guide, Mehmet Kayici whose knowledge of his country and engaging presentation made our experience none like it. Our driver Harlan was also amazing and kept us safe throughout the trip.

A must tour to enjoy the highlights of Turkey- the culture, food, historical sites and the people - shopping a bonus
Well organised tour highlighting the best of Turkey. Our guide Irem and driver - CENGIZ were the best. Very knowledgeable and provided interesting information about every tour stop to see the incredible sites of Turkey. They for only 4 travellers in our group do we were able to experience a more personal tour. So many highlights with the WOW factor. We enjoyed our 3 nights on a gulet enjoying the islands and swimming in the see. A hot air balloon flight in Cappadocia is a must and well worth the early start. We highly recommend this tour and highly praise our fabulous tour guide Irem and driver CENGIZ who drove us safety around the country.

Amazing Experience!
This trip was amazing! It was the first time we had ever traveled with a group and thanks to our wonderful guide Fatih Karci, it was a great experience. He is so knowledgeable about the history of Turkey and his love for his country shines through! Plus, he shared much about himself so that we really enjoyed getting to know him on a personal level. The trip covered such a wide range of attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed the gulet cruise where the crew and the food were absolutely amazing! Also, Cappadocia was the experience of a lifetime! And Istanbul is filled with amazing beauty and history. Fatih did a wonderful job of keeping us together and yet trying to meet each of our individual desires. Also, we felt incredibly safe with the driver of our van. He truly was skilled at navigating the busy roads.! The accommodations were very nice....clean and with great healthy breakfasts at each. The food in general was really awesome and Fatih picked fun places for us to stop along the way. This tour covers a lot of miles but well worth it to see so much of the varied countryside. For us, this truly was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime. Thanks to FEZ travel and Fatih Karci!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your fantastic review of the 13-Day Magic Explorer Tour! We are thrilled to hear that your first group travel experience was such a success and that Fatih Karci played such a key role in making it memorable. His deep knowledge, passion for Turkey, and personal touch truly shine in everything he does, and we’re so pleased that you enjoyed getting to know him. It’s wonderful to hear that you loved the diverse attractions, from the breathtaking gulet cruise to the unforgettable landscapes of Cappadocia and the rich history of Istanbul. We’re also glad the accommodations, meals, and carefully chosen stops met your expectations. Your appreciation for our skilled driver’s efforts and the seamless coordination throughout the trip means a lot to us. Covering such a wide range of destinations can be a challenge, but we’re so glad it felt worth it to you. Thank you for letting Fez Travel and Fatih be part of this unforgettable journey. We hope to welcome you back for another incredible adventure in the future!

Turkiye is big, fascinating, and diverse. Immerse yourself in the whirlwind of culture.
FEZ Tours did a really good job organising our tour. we mixed with other Kiwis and Aussies who joined and departed our tour at various times, which added another dimension. A great bunch of people, and top marks to our guide Tamer. He was professional, incredibly well organised, and kept us informed and entertained (great sense of humour). He was always looking after our welfare, finding a nice bit of shade to tell us about the amazing sights of Türkiye. His commentary and descriptions brought Türkiye to life for us. Our driver Hakim was a careful and professional driver, always helpful with a ready smile. We had a range of accommodation, including the intriguing boutique cave hotel at Gamirasu, always comfortable and stylish. A highlight for me was visiting the war fields of Gallipoli, so poignant and revered by the Turkish as much as the ANZACs. A surprise was the white calcium terraces at Pamukkale, stunning in the bright sunlight, looking like the terraces were covered in snow. Be advised: Türkiye is BIG! so enjoy whichever part you are visiting, and don't miss trying a delicious Turkish coffee and some halva.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that FEZ Tours did a great job organizing your tour and that you enjoyed the mix of fellow travelers from New Zealand and Australia. It’s fantastic to know that Tamer’s professionalism, organization, and sense of humor made your experience both informative and entertaining. We’re also glad to hear that Hakim’s careful driving and helpful nature added to your enjoyment. We’re delighted that visiting the Gallipoli battlefields and the stunning terraces of Pamukkale were highlights of your trip. Thank you for the travel tips and for sharing your experience with us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another adventure in Türkiye or beyond!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Magic Explorer 13-Day Tour from Istanbul to Gobeklitepe Mt Nemrut: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Magic Explorer 13-Day Tour from Istanbul to Gobeklitepe Mt Nemrut cost?
+
Prices start at $3399 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Magic Explorer 13-Day Tour from Istanbul to Gobeklitepe Mt Nemrut take?
+
Plan for about 312 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.
Is Magic Explorer 13-Day Tour from Istanbul to Gobeklitepe Mt Nemrut worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Magic Explorer 13-Day Tour from Istanbul to Gobeklitepe Mt Nemrut?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Magic Explorer 13-Day Tour from Istanbul to Gobeklitepe Mt Nemrut suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 312-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Magic Explorer 13-Day Tour from Istanbul to Gobeklitepe Mt Nemrut?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 312-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Magic Explorer 13-Day Tour from Istanbul to Gobeklitepe Mt Nemrut start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Istanbul?
+
On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Istanbul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Istanbul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
