We were a group of 4. We left it up to Yeliz, in head office, to recommend must-see destinations, and we weren't disappointed. Each place offered something unique. We were also able to add destinations, such a Gallipoli, and these were readily accommodated. The tour guides and drivers were experienced, informative, professional and engaging. Yeliz was in constant contact to ensure that the trip was going well. This was a great value trip, with breakfast and lunch provided every day, which allowed us to experience the local food, as recommended by the guide, in local restaurants. Despite covering a vast distance, we had enough down time to recharge our batteties for the next day. I would recommend this tour to anyone seeking a diverse experience of what Turkey has to offer, provided by a team who are there to ensure an enjoyable experience.
It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience all thanks to Smart Turkey Tours. I would like to personally thank Mr. Metin and his team for being patient, understanding and communicating very well with us. It was a 8 day tour which exceeded our expectations and is a must see country with Smart Turkey Tours.
When I used to travel - I never did tours. Until this trip to Turkey. Being part of a group has many advantages, and also some disadvantages. By far one of the best things about our tour was the great job Ege Ertas (our guide) has done. Also the support from STT has been nothing short of incredible. We needed to book an extra night in a hotel in Istanbul at the end of our trip and this was quickly becoming a frustrating experience until I asked Ege about our options. With no delay he contacted ITT. And in a few short hours we had an amazing room with a great view at an incredible price. Also Ege is a cool person but extremely professional and effective in resolving any issues that may come while traveling with a group of 40+ people. If you're gonna do a tour do it with STT.
Customised trip. Metin who organised the itinerary for me has great response time be it mail or text. Our guide Safak was very helpful from the time he picked up, until the very last day. He is very knowledgeable and helped us out with our dietary requirements, through out. Our driver Mr Ersan is great at his job and a very safe driver. This team made our overall experience great.
We wanted a tour that was flexible in terms of visiting sites and other activities and spending time there. We also requested for guides who are knowledgeable and being is being us to where the locals would go for lunch and dinner. Finally we wanted a vehicle that is spacious for the 6 of us as we were going to do a fair bit of road travel. These were fulfilled by the agency and made our holiday a very comfortable and memorable one. They were available to us anytime we have questions or queries. Quick response time. The guides provided to us at various places, Celcuk, Akyut, Mrs Sengul were very knowledgeable and entertaining. The drivers were friendly, experienced and helpful as well. The vehicles provided were spacious, clean and comfortable. We certainly do not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you very much to Metin from Smart Turkey TOURS in managing our trip.
