I have known Ege since 15 years now and, every time i travel to Turkey, i ask for his guidance. All his tours are great, filled with experiences that one can remember a lifetime. His knowledge and experience are vast and his personality is great and fun! All the conditions were perfect. Looking forward to the next tour together! Best regards!

Flexible, pleasant arrangement

This is our second time traveling with Smart Turkey. We went with them in April despite there were many tours going to Turkey from Msia. If you prefer smaller group or rather don't mind meeting with new people at every destination and the flexibility to decide your activities and destination, this is a good option. It's easy and pleasant to deal with Anil. Hence the moment our borders were open and travel restrictions have been eased in Turkey, we decided to contact Anil and asked if he could help us with some arrangements. Their pick up service is punctual (most Turkish people tend to be very early), hotel choices are good. We did the ATV ride around goreme valley. Highly recommended. Exciting and easy way of getting around the area instead of walking. We also managed to take the hot air balloon this time which was one of the reasons we came back to Turkey. Will save that story for another time.

8days customized Turkey

My mom and I choose 10 days custom private tour of Turkey and I can’t express my gratitude enough with staff starting with Metin which helped me with organizing the entire customized trip. We picked three destination as part of our trip ‘Istanbul, Kusadasi, Cappadocia’. Every single destination we had the best drivers and tour guides to help us through the journey. In addition all the hotels that tour company picked for us were better than what we expected. They accommodated to all of our needs to assure we are not rushed and flexible to change last minute plans to assure it allow time for us to rest. All the hotels and the breakfast and lunches included in the package were exceed our expectations. Turkey has some of the best food in the world and we enjoyed every meal we had. Turkish hospitality and each and every person we encountered was 5+. Special thanks to our tour guides; Mustafa in Istanbul and Zeiki in Cappadocia and Selcuk in Kusadasi, so organized and experienced and respectful to our needs and we learned so much about Turkey history and culture. I highly recommend Smart Turkey tours company to anyone planning a custom/private tour of Turkey, you will not be disappointed and you will get the best service and communication. I can’t wait to come back ❤️
