Amazing tour around Turkey!

Amazing tour where you can visit most of the well-known places in Turkey. The attention of Smart Turkey Tours was amazing! And our tour guide Ege definitely made it an outstanding experience with his knowledge and humor! I particularly liked the tour in Ancient Ephesus. Don't miss the Air Balloon trip in Kappadokia if the weatherpermits it; it's an once in a lifetime experience! The price is also very good for what is offering. I would absolutely recommend it!

The perfect imperfection

I had misconception of Turkey until I met Smart Turkey Travel Agency in one of the travel fairs in 2019 in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. With their detailed explanation and assurance, my friend and I signed up with Smart a Turkey for Istanbul-Kusadasi-Cappadocia trip. It was a good experience with all the transfers, hotel arrangement and activities. We chose to go back to Turkey and extended to Greece (Athen-Mykonos-Santorini) for a more relax arrangement. It’s still good in the arrangement despite transfer to wrong airport for flight to Athens from Istanbul and it gave me heart attack. The agency should also have other suggestions on activities for us to replace hot air balloon in Cappadocia as we failed 2 attempts due to weather condition.

Excellent trip.. wonderful memories!

We were a group of 10 adults and 3 toddlers and we had a blast! Everything was arranged as per our discussion with Yelize. Yelize went out of her way to make sure everything goes smoothly. We started from Istanbul and covered Antalya, Kusadasi and Cappadocia over the next week and returned back to Istanbul to catch our flights back home. Our tour guides Fatma and Safak were excellent! Right from general information to history to even watching our kids while we took pictures.. For everything they were always patient and helpful. Since we had kids they would especially advice us where we could take our strollers and where we couldn't. We even had few vegetarians in the group and they would always make sure the restaurants they chose for lunch had veg options as well. Istanbul and Cappadocia had a pleasant climate. Antalya and kusadasi were really hot and sunny. Each place was unique in its own way.. The landscape and history.. so it's really hard to pick the highlight. We were also lucky to have had the hot air balloon experience at Cappadocia. I would highly recommend smart Turkey tours of you are looking for a hassle free personalised experience!

Approachable, accommodating and friendly. Look no further if you are planning a holiday to Turkey.

An extremely professional and well organized tour considering we had three young children in our entourage. Right from the pre booking phase when Yeliz was in touch with us, trying to accommodate our requests and tailoring the itinerary to our needs till the airport drop off at the end of our tour, the services provided by Smart Turkey were 5 star. A shoutout and special mention to our tour guides, Fatma in Istanbul and Safak who took us around Pamukkale and Ephesus, were both well read, approachable and accommodating to the needs of the kids. Yeliz was always available over the phone and even went out of her way to do our web check ins for the domestic flights! The only let down was the hotel booked in Antalya(Mediterrea Art Hotel-Avoid at all costs) and the tour guide in Cappadocia who just seemed to be going through the motions without any real interest. Overall, an extremely pleasant holiday of 8 days in Turkey, made all the more enjoyable and memorable by the delightful and personalized service we received from this wonderful company.
