One of the best tours I have taken.
We loved it!!! Our tour guide "Halil" was excellent. Knowledgeable, courteous, accommodating, and pleasant to be with. The driver "Ehan" spelling? was equally nice and very accommodating. The tour itself was amazing with lots of ancient history to discover.

An exceptional tour of Turkey. Well done Fez Travel, Göksu and Murat
Ours was a small group tour with Fez Travel and our tour guide Göksu and driver Murat were exceptional at their respective trades. The vehicle was a very well maintained, air conditioned bus that did not make increased air conditioning noise for rear seats, tinted windows. Göksu as a guide spoke excellent English gave information in depth, displaying a very educated and professional delivery that brought inanimate ruins alive with their history and antiquity at each of the sites visited. Along with in-depth explanations of the major sites the intra site travels were dotted with discussions and many questions about contemporary politics, religion, environmental and in particular competent descriptions regarding agricultural activities covering the whole of the republic of Turkey. The agricultural side of things was a personal interest. It all happens in Turkey, pulse, oilseeds, cereals, livestock, poultry, nuts, figs, prunus, citrus, pomes and of course olives. Not to mention the quarries for marble, amazing! Our experience and interaction with Turkish people from rural areas to major cities from small cafes to 3 - 5 star accommodation was understanding, friendly and safe. Based on our tour l would gladly recommend Fez Travel small tours to people looking for reliability and competency to deliver expert information. Forget the politics Turkey is an amazing country.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your glowing review of your small group tour with Fez Travel. We're absolutely delighted to hear about your fantastic experience and are truly grateful for your kind words. Your feedback about your guide and driver is a testament to their dedication and professionalism. We take pride in providing well-maintained, comfortable vehicles, and it's great to hear that your travel experience was seamless. It's wonderful to hear that you were engaged and informed about a wide range of topics, including agriculture, and that Göksu was able to make it personal and interesting. Thank you for your enthusiastic recommendation of Fez Travel small tours. Your words mean a lot to us, and we're honored to have been a part of your journey in this amazing country. We look forward to welcoming you back or assisting you with any future travel adventures.

Great guides
Caanan and team was great and responsive and always on time. Guides Done and Ege were very well informed and tours were therefore very interesting. Kids loved uncle Cengis the driver who was sweetest man ever. Done did Capadoccia and Konya and had great knowledge of Capadoccia and its history. I felt her knowledge on Konya and Rumi perhaps a bit limited as I have done a tour there before and it was alot more detailed regarding the items in the museum, Ege and UNcle Cengis was great to travel with and we miss them dearly. Ege is so helpful, and knowledgeable and went at our pace. they are a great team and are great to travel with. It is great to have a private guide and shuttle between cities and towns as one can really relax, and set your own pace. Also private guided tour are so personalised and our kids really enjoyed the information even though it was alot.

Turkey Flyer 8-Day: Istanbul, Pamukkale, Cappadocia, Ephesus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Turkey Flyer 8-Day: Istanbul, Pamukkale, Cappadocia, Ephesus cost?
+
Prices start at $2650 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 Turkey Flyer 8-Day: Istanbul, Pamukkale, Cappadocia, Ephesus take?
+
Plan for about 192 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 Turkey Flyer 8-Day: Istanbul, Pamukkale, Cappadocia, Ephesus worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Turkey Flyer 8-Day: Istanbul, Pamukkale, Cappadocia, Ephesus?
+
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 Turkey Flyer 8-Day: Istanbul, Pamukkale, Cappadocia, Ephesus suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Turkey Flyer 8-Day: Istanbul, Pamukkale, Cappadocia, Ephesus?
+
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 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Turkey Flyer 8-Day: Istanbul, Pamukkale, Cappadocia, Ephesus 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 Princes Islands Blue Journey from Old City Istanbul, Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop. 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.
