Turkish Delight Tour

My son and I have just returned from a 13 day tour of Türkiye organised through Smart Turkey Tours based in Kusadasi Turkey. From the time I first contacted Yeliz Kaygusuz ( Sales and Marketing Director) the organisation of our holiday has been totally efficient and customer focussed. You know you are in good hands when you are sent pictures of the driver and guide who will collect you from the airport as soon as you touch down! Our trip was organised with a private English speaking guide ( Selcuk) and driver. It was tailored to the particular sights that we wanted to visit. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and so proud to share his country's history and culture. Nothing was ever too much trouble even to the extent of including some variations to our itinerary as we went along and where time allowed. In most locations our hotels were located in the middle of the old town centres making exploring in our own time most enjoyable. Because of the locations however our included hotels were clean, tidy and comfortable without being opulent. In most cases breakfast and lunches were included each day. The size of the lunches usually meant we only needed a light snack at tea time. Drinks and tips were at our own expense as you would expect. Türkiye is such an interesting country with an extensive history. The various cultural influences that have had an impact on the country over many thousands of years are probably not well understood outside the nation and just made the whole tour that much more fascinating. If Turkiye is on your travel list then we would highly recommend Smart Turkey Tours. They are based in the country and, as such, have exceptional local knowledge. They were always prompt in relation to any enquiry and completely transparent in relation to all costs. My son and I had a wonderful holiday. Everything went absolutely smoothly and we really enjoyed the company of our tour guide ( Selcuk) and our various drivers.

A woderful tour of Turkey

We took a 7-day tour of Turkey with SmartTurkeyTours in October 2023, and I have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody who wants a hassle free tour. Mr. Metin who coordinated our tour is a gem of a person and took care of everything and was always at hand for any doubts or special requests. All our tour guides were excellent and made us feel extremely comfortable. All in all, we had an enjoyable tour and are carrying back wonderful memories with us. Thank you Metin. Thank you Smart Turkey.
