Turkiye - An amazing country that needs to be revisited!

It was a well planned holiday around Anatolya. We were a group of 3 with a senior citizen that was not up to walking much and still could enjoy the private tour. the personal guide Safak was very informative and caring for our older friend and was very accomodating to any request. Our driver Erisan was an exceptional driver n sometimes followed is on our walks too. The vehicle was so spacious that we were very comfortable for our long journeys!! Definitely reccomend this company to anyone wanting a personal tour! Very trustworthy!

EXCELLENT SEAMLESS AMAZING TURKEY PRIVATE TOUR

This was review was written on their google page after I returned in March 2023 but wanted to make sure it was posted on here, too! Sorry for the delay, Metin and Deniz! My family of 4 visited Turkey for 7 days recently, Feb 22 - March 1, 2023 and Deniz was our tour guide. My sis made the rsvp from the US and communicated with the company (Metin was the main contact person). The communication from Metin and Deniz was top notch from beginning to end. We stayed a few days before and after Turkey in Amsterdam. When we flew to Turkey from AMS, Metin already contacted my sis via whatsapp to let us know who, where the driver is going to pick us up, etc. Metin was always prompt in being in contact even before we left the USA, of course we were concerned about the tragic recent earthquake and if it was safe to travel there, but he reassured us that things were safe on the IST side. If anything, it was probably a good time to support Turkey through tourism. We had a 7 day tour starting in IST with a private van/driver (thanks to Kemar and Yenar for their driving skills!) with our tour guide, Deniz (since day 1, same guide)..the sprinter van was a 15 seater for the 4 of us, it was clean, comfortable and the hotels were all amazing and the lunches that were provided by the tour company were outstanding. We started in IST, then drove to Canakkale, Izmir, Kusadasi, Denizili, etc. We will return for Cappadochia and Ankara! We had such a memorable time and miss it already. The weather was mild, 60s degrees+!! I definitely want to return to Pamakkale and eat more pidet, turkish tea, turkish apple tea and fresh turkish delights! Thanks again to Metin, Deniz and the drivers. I am so glad we were all safe and healthy! Please do not hesitate to book with this company and be sure to ask for Deniz as your tour guide. Deniz is extremely patient, punctual, enthusiastic, laid back and communicative. His knowledge of Turkish history, etc., is amazing... Thank you again for a wonderful first visit to Turkey, it won't be our last! See you soon, Deborah

Amazing tour - well planned and very smooth

Metin helped us to plan a wonderful holiday - all the transfers and hotels were very good and there were no hiccups or problems along the way at all - the trip was smooth sailing and we really enjoyed ourselves. The tour guides were informative and helpful, and Smart Turkey was also very good in accommodating flexible requests on short notice. We had an excellent first time visiting Istanbul, Pammukale and Cappadocia. Thank you for the excellent service! Highly recommend to families visiting Turkey for the first time.
