Ankara Tours in Summer

This is a bucket list for sure. Just do it!!! Our tour guide Ege was top notch. The sites to see are magical. Turkey is an amazing country

This was an well planned and incredible tour. Our tour leader Ege was just amazing. Well informed, well articulated and very helpful. Loved his sense of humour and jis suggestions on where to eat was also great. Definitely one of the best tours I've been on in an amazing country. Thank you

Glories of Türkiye 15 day tour This small group (in our case just 8 people) tour was excellent and provided a perfect introduction to this country. The first thing that stands out is how clean everywhere is. Not so much as a candy wrapper anywhere, city streets or country by-ways. The Turks are hospitable, polite and friendly people, eager to please everywhere you go. English is spoken in many places and commnication is never a problem. Our escort and guide, Fatih, was both knowledgeable and informative about the many sights; but also thoughtful and concerned for the well-being of his group members. Highly organized and experienced, he had everything under control. Our fellow travelers were all delightful company. Istanbul is a vibrant city with a history dating back thousands of years. Divided by the Bosphorous, it is both in Europe and in Asia. The Kadikoy district, on the Asian side, is not part of the tour but should be. If possible try to spend a couple of additional days there. The ancient sites are all interesting and cover thousands of years of history, including Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and many associated with biblical writings. This is also a good opportunity for non Muslims to learn about the Islamic faith. Dining was always a pleasure. Although the Turkish population is almost entirely of the Muslim faith, it is politically secular. As a result, alcoholic beverages are widely but not universally available. Tap water is generally avoided, but bottled water is available everywhere. Prices in stores and dining establishments were significantly cheaper than Europe or North America. There was no sense anywhere of a threat to personal safety. Indeed we saw no signs of homelessness or drug or alcohol abuse or criminality. Toilets were clean and fresh everywhere. In summary, Turkey was a wonderful vacation experience, and the Glories of Türkiye 15 day tour met and exceeded our expectations.

The tour exceeded my expectations! There was a lot of places that we were able to see at each destination and along the way. The tour leader Ege was amazing, he was patient, kind, and displayed passion for his job. He was always available to assist the group. The driver was excellent in driving us from destination to destination. The tour included a number of dinners, which was welcome, especially when arriving late at the particular destination.

Our Tour Leader, Ege, made this Turkiye experience one for the books. Ege & our driver, Serhat were the perfect Team making sure we were safe along the way. Ege's knowledge of Turkey history combined with his sense of humor and personal insights gave us the amazing experience we were looking for.

Just got back from FEZHT tour and it was anything but life changing. I was very confident about taking this tour to begin with especially after reading good reviews for tour guide Ege (woohoo!!!). And I guess...the experience exceeded my expectations. I definitely recommend this tour for those who long for adventure, history, time travel, immersion with locals, and (ehem) cute kitties and doggos! I come back to UK with much love for Turkey. Visiting the country wasn't just a tick in the bucket list. It was crazy, spiritual, mystical, physical (lol), and I dunno...cosmic. It wouldn't be fun if not of my tour mates turned family (we were 29!). And of course, Ege...I can still hear his voice in my head hahaha. Surely, one of the best tour guides ever! He's passionate about his homeland and cared for us in what could have been a hectic 10 days. Also, thanks to Sehrat, our driver who drove so smooth...not to mention his bus with WiFi (yes!). I'll definitely miss everyone but it looks like plans for another Expat tour are in order. So see you down the road! Teşekkürler Ege and Sehrat! Thank you Expat Explore (this is my 6th tour...am I actually counting?). For anyone who's interested with FEZHT...c'mon...just book it. For me, back to reality.
