Amazing and unforgettable experience!

04-Aug-2020

My time in Turkey was absolutely incredible, and it was all thanks to My Turkey Adventure. I found My Turkey Adventure on Google, and am so glad that I chose to book a 10-day tour with this company. I was able to see the highlights of Turkey – Cappadocia, Istanbul, Efesus, Pamukkale and Antalya. My tour guide Gokhan was an amazing guide with his endless enthusiasm, local knowledge and communication skills. He knew so much about Turkish history, as well as all the best local places to eat and drink! All our hotels were small, clean, family run and centrally located. They were also very authentic and totally safe. The places we visited were mind blowing…Turkey is a country that should be on every single persons bucket list! I never once felt unsafe, Turkey is an incredibly modern country and its cities and landscapes are unbelievably beautiful and diverse. A special thanks to the operations team of My Turkey Adventure, they followed up on everything and made all the transportation/program hassle free. If you are looking for a private Turkey tour, I highly recommend My Turkey Adventure. Best tour I've ever been on, and I absolutely will recommend them to all my friends and family members for Turkey tours. ...more ...less

Best was to see Turkey.

13-Jul-2022

Last month I toured some of Turkey's oldest and most fascinating archaeological sites with Ilyas Bayrak of My Turkey Adventure. What an amazing, amazing trip. Inspired by the many UNESCO sites in Turkey we visited the neolithic site of Catal Hoyuk, and the Hittite capital of Hattusha, hiked in the beautiful valleys of Cappadocia, climbed through underground cities and walked the streets of the Ottoman city of Safranbolu. The food, accommodations and transportation were all excellent quality and value and I always felt perfectly safe. Not only does Ilyas know everything about the 12000 years of history in this beautiful country, it is obvious that he has a very deep love of the modern Republic of Turkey. Beyond visiting the tourist sites, MTA introduces willing travellers to the people who make up the amazing and diverse culture of Turkey. I can't wait to go on my next trip with Ilyas and MTA!!! ...more ...less

We had a most wonderful holiday in Turkey thanks to Ilyas. He arranged a perfect 14 day tour for us accommodating our requests and adding interesting sights and activities. He is knowledgeable about Turkey and its incredible history. His driving is very good and we felt perfectly safely all the time in every way while in Turkey. We are strongly contemplating taking another tour in Turkey with Ilyas to explore more of this lovely country. ...more ...less
