My family of 4 joined the Smart Turkey Tour where Anil helped us with our tour itinerary. To deal with Anil was a bliss. We made several changes to our itinerary and he was always helpful in his responses and showed no sign of being annoyance. He had never failed to reply to all our emails . He cleared our doubts and helped to resolve them to our full satisfaction. He even suggested alternative plan if he feels that could save us some money. He put us at ease with the tour arrangement and we felt very assured that he was always there should we encounter any problem. When we whatsapp him, he replied and when we called him, he answered. It was defintely a blessing to have him when we were in a foreign land. He dealt matters patiently and in a very professional manner that make us felt we were in good hands and well taken of. No issues with the Hot Air Balloon in Capadacio. Anil explained to us his predicament when dealing with the operator and we understood the difficulties he faced with them. With his guidance, we managed to contact the Operator directly and got the confirmation without any fuss. On the last day of our tour, at Izmir airport before we departed to Istanbul, my son realized he had left his jacket in the hotel room wardrobe. Immediately we called Anil and he made all arrangements to courier to our hotel in Istanbul . He even called up the hotel reception and trying to make arrangements to pay for the courier fee ( that was not even his fault ). We were very touched by his kind gesture. Not forgetting to mention our tour guides, Deniz of Ephesus sector and Olsen (if I name him correctly) of Capadacio sector . They were fantastic guys. Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and obliging to our needs. Both, always have a smile on their faces. Our overall experience with Smart Turkey Tour is unforgettable and amazing . We love it. If you are looking for an honest and reliable agency, look for Anil from SMART TURKEY TOUR, the Best and Outstanding Service Provider.
All 4 of us are seniors average over 68 years old. The pace of the tour was just right for us. The tour coordinator Mehmet Martin was really attentive to our needs. All the flight transfers and pickups are arranged well. When our flight within Turkey was delayed around two hours, he asked his people to wait for us. The guides are well educated in local history and patient, and always answer our questions to our satisfaction. We visited Istanbul, Troy, Cappadocia, Kusadasi, Pamukkale, Ephesus, Pergamon and Bodrum. We highly recommend the Smart Turkey Tour.
