You will love turkey and you will love this tour. Of course you should do some of the addins like balloon over capadocia. Ghengiskhan was great. Turkey is an amazing place and i would totally recommend it and this tour. In a few places it would have been nice to have a bit more time, but generally well paced. Understand that you are doing a lot of kilometers. Now for the bad: i hope that fez can improve some of the meals. For example when we stayed at the hilton garden inn, the included meal for my wife — four chicken wings about a dozen fries and a small bit of boiled pasta.. nope no oil, sauce or anything. She described it as one of the worst meals of her life... so either they improve this location or just order off the menu. I have to hope that the regular me u is much better. Other places such as kusadasi was great. I wont comment personally on breakfasts as i dont like them but others on the tour were often unhappy with them. What do you need to know before going? The cotton castle doesnt look like the pictures due to diversion of the water. Still jump in the ancient pool and relax! Turkey advertises itself as the worlds largest museum.. and it is. There are so many things one can do or see. This tour will give you a good overview. If you have the time... do the similar tour that also goes to troy and pergamom.Show more

We travelled with Fez for the Anatolian Highlights tour, and couldn't have been happier, our guide and driver went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well taken care of from the time we landed in Turkey. Couldn't recommend them high enough. We would definitely travel with Fez again.Show more
