The tour itself was great. The places were fantastic. The guide and driver were terrific. The bus was too small and too crowded. If you are going to spend that much time on a bus and with that many people, it needs to be a proper coach one, with comfortable seats and conditions.

Excellent tour in all respects. Our guide, Can, was very knowledgeable. Interesting and varied. Our 12- and 10-year old children enjoyed it too. Food good throughout.

They kept us waiting almost 2 hours in front of the hotel. They told us to be there at 7 AM and only came at 8h45 to pick us up.
The trip is amazing though.

The tour guide was delightful and full of good information. Liked the small amount of people in the group. All of the sights were fascinating and more than I expected. The hotels were nice...

Great trip, we saw a lot. Our guide, Zee, was great (she is freelance and this was her first trip with Fez travel). SHe was knowledgeable and gave a lot of information on Turkey as well as the sites we saw. There is a lot of driving on this trip so be prepared...that means that the time at some sites is limited as a result of the long distances. We had a great group on our trip as well. What I didn't like was the extras at the hotels (ike paying for coffee, tea at dinner or in hotel room, internet fees, and even having to pay for compulsory bathing caps at thermal spring hotel). Also, the rooms were not of 4 or 5 star quality (the bathrooms were very small and did not have separate shampoo and soap, the towels were scratchy and what you would expect in 2 star hotel). The food was uneven as well.

The trip to Pammukkale is awesome and definitely worth it...however, the travel from Izmir to Pammukkale and coming back to Izmir takes a total of 9 hrs!! You spend about 4 hrs in Pammukkale/Hierapolis and will have to totally spend about 13 hrs (730 in the morning to 2130 at night)!!!! Can be very tiring,

We really enjoyed the tour. There was historical sights, natural beauty and of course shopping. Our tour guide was very personable and informative. We had a small group of companionable people which was really nice. My only small negative comment was the food was not great but then we didn't enjoy the food elsewhere in Turkey so it could be just individual taste. The hotels were all very good; friendly staff and good service.

The tour was good and I recommend it, tour guide was great. The only bad thig was the hotel, The hotel was bad..not a 4 start hotel..which if they say is a 2 is ok.. But they said is a 4..the worst is that it was NOT clean...dirty dirty shower and floors.

This tour if great BUT a long day if you are staying in Izmir. First of all, there is nothing to do in Izmir and the tour company is 1 1/2 hr from Izmir, so stay in Kusadasi. it is a 3 hour drive from the tour company but it is worth it to see mother nature in action!

Great natural formation. Museum was also an unexpected surprise. Lunch buffet was overlooked and mediocre. Professional driver and well educated guide.

Excellent! The place is wonderful and the guide was very knowleadgable. He made sure we had a good time.
Pamukkale is a unique place, I'd say, a one of its kind in the world. This should be on the "must-go" list for wanderers like myself.

Very inexperienced guide, didn't know much info. She was rushing for time and wanted to stay just a couple hours after we have driven for 4h. After insisting, we left 5.30 but missed the most beautiful, the sunset. Lunch was not good at all. Big buffet, no flavor. The place is amazing but would find another way to go.
