Troy Tours in April 2026

We had an absolute blast on this tour. Some of the days are long driving days, but we didn't mind, plenty of comfort stops to break it up. This tour was well organised and informative. The cave hotel is a really cool experience. The highlight of our tour was Ege, he was the most kind, considerate and passionate tour guide. You can really see how much he loves his country. He took time to get to know everybody and cared about everybody. He went out of his way to sort things out for people in his free time.

Thank you very much for creating such a fantastic and unforgettable experience for us in Turkey. The companionship and guidance from the operators truly made a difference. They were not just great guides but made us feel like family. Thank you both again. 👍👍

Even before I left my country for this tour, our tour guide Ege, was already communicating with me and informing me of what weather to expect and what clothes to bring. We were 12 in the tour and each one of us felt Ege's genuine care and concern for each one of us from Day 1. He has such a big heart and his love for his country is admirable and I learned so much of Turkey because of him. I got cough and colds during the tour and he immediately gave me his own medicine that he takes along with him. I also celebrated my birthday during this tour and he arranged a surprise birthday cake for me! Because of Ege's warm and fun personality, all of us in the tour had a great time together. We all felt like family by the end of the tour. Our driver, Mujo, drives very well. He is also very kind and always smiling. All the hotels we stayed in were good hotels especially Momento Hotel in Istanbul. The hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia was totally an out of this world experience. Ege woke up early and went with us just to take a video of us taking off. I have been in many tours and hands down, Ege is the best tour guide in the world! Don't hesitate anymore and book the FEZHT tour now! Ege is the exclusive tour guide of this tour so you know you will be in great hands already.

Special mention about our tourguide Ege Ertas who absolutely made our Turkish tour a great success. He made everything run smoothly. From ensuring he had enough change on him for public toilets at the start of our walking tour in Istanbul to arranging free Turkish tea/coffee and sweet pastry at the end of the walk. He paid attention to the wellbeing of all tour members, factoring in sitting breaks, dietary requirements and pharmacy stops as required. His ""can do"" approach positively influenced all members of our tour who participated in all activities despite continues rain.....no mean feat if you consider our wide age range, fitness levels and interests. His love of animals, humorous nature and historical knowledge all contributed to creating a warm, informative and relaxed atmosphere on our long road trips. I noticed his professional and respectful demeanour when interacting with our driver and staff at various stops (hotel, wine tasting, carpet sellers, Bosphorus boat trip, Dervish Whirling, etc). It is clear he has great professional contacts who will support him if required. Ege understood that a tour needs to be special and memorable.....he made sure we enjoyed our Turkish experience. I appreciate all the hard work and long hours and the exceptional extra effort and support....like arranging a birthday cake and dinner experience in Cappadocia for our one tour member. Thank you so much. I'll highly recommend Ege Ertas and Expat Explore for an unforgettable Turkish experience.

Myself and a friend (two young single women) had an incredible time travelling through exotic Turkey thanks to our fabulous tour with expat explore. Our tour guide (Ege) did an incredible job ensuring we had a tailored and expansive experience whilst ensuring our safety and comfort throughout. All accomodation was comfortable, our driver was very helpful and we had a chance to feel as though we were seeing 'real' Turkey.

This fantastic tour was led by the fabulous Ege! He is passionate in sharing what Turkey has to offer and made it so memorable for us all. Ege took us to authentic places so that we could experience the true Turkish way of life. The food here is out of this world and is definitely a place for foodies! Katmar, turkish coffee, pide(Kismet-best place for this!), proper kebabs and wine tasting to name a few. We visited many historical/unique points of interest as this country is steeped in history, in that Turkey celebrates 100 years of independence his year. Unique points were Pamukkale, Cleopatra pools, Sultanhani, Oba showrooms for handmade rugs and Aldag Elite Cave Ceramics demonstration. Cappadocia region was an absolute stand out for me and was fortunate to experience hot air balloning and an underground cave city tour! The landscape here is so diverse also. Should there be another tour of Turkey in the future, I will most definitely do it!
