Turkey Walking Tours

Highlights of Turkey Walking Tours

• Many hotels and tour guides run free walking tours for new tourists, and you only have to tip your guide at the end. It’s definitely a cost-effective way of getting your bearings in a new city.
• The Lycian Way hike is probably the most famous walking tour in Turkey and connects 25 archeological sites along the way.
• Turkey Walking tours are a great way to meet and interact with local people and see the country from their lens. They can even lend you valuable tips or direct you to great locations for food and sightseeing where regular tourists don’t visit.
• Both the Carian Trail and the Lycian Way snake their way around the Mediterranean coastline, rewarding you with panoramic views across the water and into Europe.

Travel Tips for Walking Tours in Turkey

• Take a walking food tour on the eastern side of Istanbul. There are so many food-based walking tours in Istanbul , but we recommend the Kadikoy neighborhood on the Asian side of the city for fantastic lamb kebabs, stuffed mussels, and more.
• Find a free walking tour in major cities like Istanbul when you arrive. This is the most affordable way to explore major sites like the Grand Bazaar without getting lost.
• Join a group or guided Turkey walking tour, especially if you are doing a long-distance trail like the Lycian Way, for safety and convenience. Group tours come with pre-arranged itineraries and accommodations.
• Avoid walking tours in the summer months. Turkish summers are unreasonably hot and humid, often getting over 40°C. Opt for spring or autumn seasons instead.
• Outside of the major cities and tourist resorts, ATMs are few and far between, so make sure to carry cash if you are venturing away from cities and tourist hotbeds.
• Ensure that you bring clothing that can cover your head, shoulders, and knees while on a multi-day walking tour. Even though it can be hot in Turkey, it’s still a predominantly Muslim country where modesty is prized, so be respectful even if it does mean adding more layers.

About gourrmet food and wine in turkey.

Turkey has a rich culinary culture that has been influenced by various civilizations throughout history, including the Ottoman Empire and neighboring Middle Eastern and Mediterranean countries. Gourmet food in Turkey refers to high-quality and refined dishes that are typically prepared with fresh and locally-sourced ingredients, often incorporating traditional cooking techniques and flavors, among them; seafood, lamb, meze platters including grilled octopus, stuffed mussels and fresh cheeses, pide flatbread that include truffle oil, smoked salmon, or foie gras and finally Turkish Delight with pistachios, rose petals, and saffron.

Turkey has also a long history of wine production, with some of the oldest known winemaking sites in the world located in the country. Fine wine in Turkey refers to high-quality wines that are typically made with locally-grown grape varieties and aged in oak barrels. Here are some examples of fine wines in Turkey: Öküzgözü, Boğazkere, Narince, Kalecik, Emir and Şirince.

• Christmas & New Year

Best of Turkey- 10 Days

Firstly, great communications. Hotels were central, and excellent, although the Istanbul hotel rooms were somewhat tiny. Nevertheless, the service and breakfasts were great. The actual tour through the central western Turkey was remarkable, and the tour guide Salin was extremely lnformative and delightful. It was a pleasure and we highly recommend this tour.

• In-depth Cultural

Absolute Turkey

I want to thank Gonca so much for being our tour guide. She has made me fall in love once again with Turkey. I cannot fault anything for this trip. I recommend it to everyone.

Premium Turkey in Depth

This trip has totally exceeded my expectations. This has been mainly due to Ugur our tour leader who was also our guide. His leadership and knowledge has been extraordinary and we had an absolute ball. We learned so much about Turkey, its history, its people and culture including its delicious cuisine. The ancient places we visited and and the history of them was passed on to us by Ugur in an easy to understand way that encouraged us to find out more and ask questions. The accommodation was mainly in the old town, close to the sights and of exceptional quality. Another highlight was our day boat trip to the Kekova Sunken City that provided us with the opportunity to relax and have a swim in the turquoise water. All in all a great trip that gives you an exceptional advertiser for going and see more of Turkey.

Essential Turkey

I went on the tour starting mid August 2022. Overall was an incredible experience, Tarik, our group leader has been great whether in the early morning wake up or in the late night partying, always making sure we had fun. In fact, I enjoyed this tour ( both sightseeing, activities and group ) so much I bought the Cappadocia and have no regrets in doing so. Be advised, the itinerary is packed and you'll get to see a lot of Turkey's finest but that comes at the price of several hours of transport between locations. In conclusion, I cherish the time I spent in the tour and feel like I've made long time friends along the way.

Anatolian Civilizations | 10 Days

it was very smooth trip, everything had been thought about.

Turkey Classics Tour

A great & well-organised tour! With a special mention to our tour guide Osman and our driver Hasan. I recommend Fez Travel to anyone visiting Türkiye.

Absolutely Turkey

This tour was a 6 night tour of the western parts of Turkey. There was a lot of sitting in a coach which we expected but because we were a relatively small group, we were placed into a much smaller coach which had less power, not great suspension and no toilet facilities which meant we had to stop frequently at service stations etc. We often didn't reach our hotels until after 7 pm. The sights we saw were fantastic and the balloon ride over Cappadocia plus the optional extra of staying in a cave hotel was a plus too! Unfortunately our guide was not very engaging nor was he very friendly although one could not fault him on his knowledge. I think I would encourage people to do a little more research before choosing this tour - I would give it a 6/10.

• Coach / Bus

Magic Carpet Tour

The tour was excellent. The only suggestions I have would be to ask the group if they want to see the places that were not on the itinerary, such as the jewelery store, ceramic store, etc. No one in our group purchased anything there and it was a waste of time. It would have been better to have more free time in the town we were staying in. Also, some of the lunch stops had very limited food choices and were expensive. Tamer was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable, personable and always made the best interests of the group a priority.

Turkish Breeze-10 Days

Great Tour overall. Lots of sites covered. The first 2 days in Istanbul was a bit of disappointment because of the tour guide Barish. He spent lots of time in a mosques where no entrance fees were required but only 1 hour in Topkapi palace where was a substantial entrance fee. Our second tour guide Ana at the spice bazar was good but she was not attentive enough to sort out the miss information about our lunch. She left us in the middle of the street an told us to go back to our hotel. We had to call Tour Altinkum who corrected the situation. The rest of the tour was excellent thanks to our tour guide who was with us from Cappadocia Efe. His knowledge of history and Greek mythology made a highlight of the trip and he was helpful in every way. Our hotel in Cappadocia was the best and the hotel in Antalya was the worst as far as buffet lunch there. I wish they would not do it at all.

Turkey Encompassed

Fantastic tour and guide! Turkey is amazing and the tour is fast paced.

10 Days Treasures of Turkey Tour

Barış led a wonderful trip! I took this tour during November 2023, which is during the rainy season. Would recommend an umbrella and rain resistant warm layers. Even so, had the full tour experience with all locations listed. Enjoyable tour that I would highly recommend to others. Tour guide was knowledgeable and led a perfect pace to enjoy each space on the walking tour. Fun full day tour of the main tourist spots in Turkey!

Turkey: Coastlines & Cappadocia

The trip was amazing. I think most people would have preferred to spend a little bit more on the trip to minimise having to complete multiple bus trips in one day

Best of Turkey by Land (5 & 4 Star Hotels)

First time traveller with travel talk exploring Turkey 12 day land tour. Fantastic experience. Our guide Mustafa has made the tour very enjoyable, his laid back calm personality made this trip easy when you have a large group. All your concerns and questions are taken care of. He knowledge was exceptional. The bus is extremely comfortable and the drivers are very professional. Always eager to lend a hand when needed. The hotels did not dissapoint. I only wished I had time to use the facilities a bit more. As Mus said, this is a tour not a holiday lol Do yourself a favour and book a tour with travel talk- tour radar. Can Highly recommend the one I'm doing. I hope to return to Turkey in the near future. I have fell in love with the country. Vibrant Instanbul, different cultures, warm people to the many highlights of Anzac Cove, Troy, Ephesus with all the glory of ancient ruins, stepping back in time. Fethiye that oozes with stunning aqua blue coastline. Saklikent wow factor Canyon, truly breathtaking then swim in the pristine warm sea at Oludeniz. Spoilt for choice after all this take the extra option and paraglide. First time experience for me and I was stll buzzing with excitement days later. The scenery is exquisite. The company travel talk use a very experienced paragliders. I felt safe the whole time, enough to do 360 with him. Pamukkale natural site with its carbonate mineral terraced pools is another wow factor, not to mention Cappadocia riched in history and of course hot air balloon over the stunning lunar like landscape. Too many to mention. I have thoroughly loved everything about this tour and will certainly use travel radar - travel talk again.

Highlights of Turkey Luxury Tour

Thank you Ciconia! My wife and I had such a wonderful experience with Ciconia Highlights of Turkey. Aykut was a great guide. His daily stories were both informative and funny. He kept us laughing while enlightening us with a Turkish history and culture. Wow! What a great teacher. Yes the days are busy. But we saw so much. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn about Turkish history and culture in such an enjoyable way. 10 stars ! Salvador Lara

What people love about Turkey Tours

Very well organized, great customer service

Very good trip. The leader Engin was excellent and was at our Bec and call 24/7. I feel for his sanity he needs some nights off and just tell us about a few restaurants but not take us there - do his own thing. The whole group doesn’t need to always be together. We had one person that struggled to keep up with group and I felt some pressure to wait for her or help her- I don’t think she had much insight into the affect she was having on group. Otherwise was a great and diverse group.

The six of us enjoyed an excellent stay in the multicity tour and would gladly tour again with this company.

This mountainous route encompasses spectacular coastal views, archaeological treasures dating back to the 8th Century BCE and interesting villages with their unique Lycian flavour.
