Ce fut un voyage dépaysant, pleins de souvenirs, de belles rencontres. Nos excursions furent magnifiques avec un dépassement de soi. Nos lieux de séjour extraordinaire. Une bienveillance d'Anaïs lors de mon stress pour l'enregistrement des billets mais aussi pour toute la programmation de notre voyage. Nous sommes revenus avec pleins de souvenirs.

Mon mari et moi avons passé une superbe expérience avec Vialala et Damien ! Nous avons passé 10 jours aux États-Unis. Vols + Hôtel + location de voiture + matchs NFL. Ils ont réalisé mon rêve de voir des matchs NFL avec mes équipes préférées en étant au plus proche des joueurs. Damien a su comprendre nos envies et créer un voyage sur mesure, parfaitement adapté à nos attentes. Je recommande vivement ! Emanuel et Christelle

Première expérience Vialala pour nous avec Xavier pour notre Road Trip de découverte de la corse. Xavier à été très impliqué, disponible, et à l'écoute. Il nous à monté un super projet; a su le modifier au besoin lorsque nous avons rajouté un voyageur. Nous étions en contact tout le temps du séjour. Le circuit à été programmé, les hébergements, les vols, la locations des voitures ainsi que les visites et randos ! Programme complet. Mention ++ pour la rapidité de réponse. C'est une expérience que nous pourrions réitérer. MERCI

Première expérience pour nous avec Vialala, et pas des moindres puisque nous avons fait un road trip à travers l'Italie avec nos enfants. Natacha nous a concocté un voyage aux petits oignons, adapté à notre demande et à l'âge de nos enfants. Tout était adapté et parfait : les villes visitées, la durée, les monuments sélectionnés, les transports. Bref aucune fausse note et quel gain de temps et d'énergie pour nous. Plus qu'à se laisser porter et visiter ce magnifique pays en famille. Nous recommandons sans hésiter.

Un immense merci à Vialala pour ce road trip incroyable. L’itinéraire nous a fait découvrir de véritables pépites locales tout en nous offrant les paysages spectaculaires du Maroc. Tout s est très bien passé. Au delà de nos attentes ! C'est rare de trouver ce niveau de personnalisation et d’attention ….On rentre avec des étoiles plein les yeux et des souvenirs qui resteront gravés. Une organisation avec du cœur et une vraie expertise locale ! On pense déjà au voyage de l année prochaine !

Update - May 2026 : nouvelle experience plus que réussie. Pour faire simple Vialala = personnalisation + expertise + service + prix malins. Je ne compte plus les voyages avec eux. À la liste précédente s’ajoutent la Sicile, New York et le Japon. Cette fois-ci, je reviens d’un road trip en Harley et 4x4 au Maroc. À huit. Nous avons tout eu du B&B improbable à Tafraoute au palace à Marrakech, cols de l’Atlas, Anti Atlas. Que des conseils de malade que ce soit les itinéraires ou les bonnes adresses. Cahier des charges compliqué, logistique compliquée et le tout à été délivré sans accrocs dans un budget serré. J’adore leur approche. Pas un télé opérateur qui vend des produits, c’est comme un ami qui aurait vécu sur place. (Revue 2023) Vialala nous a fait découvrir Cuba, l’Ecosse, Montréal et bientôt le Botswana. A chaque fois ils ont été au top. La grosse différence c’est le niveau de personnalisation qui avoisine un service de conciergerie. On ne s’arrête pas à un programme avec eux. Si le temps change et que telle activité n’est plus possible, leur trip planner est là pour revoir le programme. Si on a besoin d’un service logistique ou d’un conseil pour un resto une fois sur place c’est pareil. Franchement une super formule. Merci

Turkey’s third largest city and former port of Smyrna, Izmir stands out as a prime destination for your custom trip. This dynamic metropolis of the Aegean Sea perfectly combines millennia-old heritage, urban modernity, and Mediterranean lifestyle, offering a unique experience customized to your aspirations.
Your stay in Izmir immerses you in 3,000 years of history. The well-preserved Ancient Agora attests to the grandeur of ancient Greek and Roman Smyrna. Kadifekale Castle, situated at an altitude of 186 meters, provides a breathtaking panorama of the bay while revealing the remnants of the Byzantine citadel.
The private tours we organize allow you to explore these sites with an expert guide, tailored to your pace and interests. Whether you are passionate about archaeology or simply a lover of beautiful stones, our Travel Planners design your itinerary to unveil the secrets of this ancient city.
Izmir is the perfect starting point to venture into the wonders of Western Anatolia. Just 80 kilometers away, the site of Ephesus unveils its temples and the Library of Celsus. Pamukkale and its white calcareous basins are 200 kilometers away, while Pergamum and its UNESCO-listed acropolis are only 120 kilometers away.
This privileged geographical location enhances your trip to Izmir with day trips or multi-day extensions, according to your wishes. Our tours and stays are perfectly adaptable to this geographic flexibility.
The organization of your custom stay in Izmir depends on your travel goals, desired duration, and personal preferences. Our Travel Planners assist you at every step of this planning to create an experience that matches your style.
| Duration of stay | Type of experience | Recommended period |
|---|---|---|
| 2-3 days | Urban discovery | April to June, September-October |
| 5-7 days | Izmir + ancient sites combo | May to September |
| 10-14 days | Complete Anatolia circuit | May to October |
The city of Izmir is ideally visited in spring and autumn, with temperatures ranging between 20 and 25°C. Summer is perfectly suited for family vacations wanting to enjoy the beaches of the region, with temperatures that can reach 35°C.
Your personalized trip can be enriched with multiple extensions according to your desires:
For a honeymoon, we particularly recommend the Izmir-Bodrum-Pamukkale combination, blending culture, seaside relaxation, and enchanting landscapes. Couples appreciate this diversity of experiences concentrated in a limited geographical area.
Our Travel Planners select your accommodations according to your criteria: boutique hotels in the historic center, Aegean seaside resorts, or charming establishments in the hinterlands. For a luxurious journey, we prioritize exclusive addresses offering tailor-made services and personalized care.
Your stay in Izmir unveils a mosaic of authentic experiences, away from the touristy paths. Our private tours open the doors to an intimate and preserved Turkey.
Exploring the historic district of Kemeraltı is a must. This Ottoman bazaar of the 17th century stretches over 3,000 shops where artisans and merchants perpetuate ancestral traditions. Your local guide introduces you to the secrets of bargaining and lets you discover culinary specialties in family-run stalls.
A stroll along the Kordon, this 4-kilometer long promenade bordering the bay, offers an immersion in Izmirian lifestyle. Terrace cafes, contemporary art galleries, and shady gardens punctuate this walk facing the Aegean Sea. At sunset, the golden light transforms the bay into an impressionist painting.
The historical elevator Asansör, built in 1907, lifts you 58 meters high for an extraordinary view over the city and its port. This Ottoman-era technical feat now houses restaurants and cafes where you can savor local gastronomy.
For lovers of religious heritage, a visit to Saint Polycarp Church, the only Catholic church in the city, reveals Izmir’s cosmopolitan legacy. Families particularly enjoy the Archaeology Museum, whose collections recount 5,000 years of human occupation in the region.
Our Travel Planners also organize authentic culinary experiences: cooking classes in a traditional house, wine tasting in the vineyards of the Çeşme peninsula, or exploring the fish markets of the port.
The budget for your custom trip to Izmir varies significantly depending on the level of services desired, the length of stay, and the chosen extensions. Our Travel Planners provide personalized quotes tailored to your expectations and your budget.
For a 4-day stay in Izmir at a 4-star hotel with private guide and transfers, expect to spend between 800 and 1,200 euros per person. This rate includes double room accommodation, breakfasts, guided tours, and on-site transport.
A 7-day luxury trip combining Izmir, Ephesus, and Pamukkale with 5-star accommodations, French-speaking private guide, and chauffeured vehicle ranges from 2,000 to 3,500 euros per person. These high-end services typically include half-board and privileged access to certain sites.
Family vacations require specific adaptations: connecting rooms, fun activities, child-friendly restaurants. Our 10-day family tours including Istanbul, Izmir, and Cappadocia start at 1,500 euros per adult and 1,200 euros per child under 12.
To optimize your budget, our Travel Planners recommend traveling in April-May or September-October, periods that offer excellent value for money while enjoying an ideal climate. Early bookings also allow access to the best availability and preferential rates.
Vialala is committed to offering you the best possible experience within your budget, without compromising on the quality of services and the local expertise of our partners.
Izmir, the gem of the Aegean Sea in Turkey, boasts captivating attractions. Begin your journey by exploring the ancient Agora, a marketplace rich with history. Don't miss the Kemeraltı, a historical bazaar where you can taste local delicacies. A visit to Izmir's Clock Tower, the symbol of the city, is a must. History enthusiasts should explore the Archaeological Museum, which showcases impressive collections from the Roman era. Lastly, unwind along the Kordon promenade, perfect for an evening stroll. Izmir is also an excellent base for visiting other sites like Ephesus, a stunning ancient Greco-Roman city.
The best time to visit Izmir is during spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November). These months offer pleasant weather with mild temperatures and fewer crowds, making it ideal to comfortably explore the city and its surroundings. Summers can be very hot, especially in July and August, which might make sightseeing less enjoyable. Additionally, these summer months attract many tourists, which can make major sites quite crowded. Winters are generally mild in Izmir but can be unpredictable with occasional rainy days, making it less ideal for outdoor activities.
Izmir offers a variety of activities to suit all preferences. Nature lovers can visit Dilek National Park for hiking, mountain biking, or just enjoying secluded beaches. For a enriching cultural experience, participate in a pottery workshop in Çeşme or delve into Izmir's culinary traditions by taking a local cooking class. Adventurers can explore the ancient ruins of Pergamon and Sardis. In the evening, stroll along Alsancak waterfront to sample seafood specialties and watch the sunset. For a day trip, take a ferry to the island of Chios, offering spectacular views and rich historical heritage.
The ideal period extends from April to October, with a preference for May-June and September-October. These months offer pleasant temperatures between 20 and 28°C, perfect for visiting archaeological sites and enjoying the Aegean Sea. Summer is suitable for families preferring beach activities, despite higher temperatures that can reach 35°C.
A minimum of 3 days allows you to discover the essentials of Izmir: historical center, ancient sites, and local atmosphere. For a more complete stay including Ephesus, Pamukkale, and traditional villages, we recommend 7 to 10 days. This duration provides a comfortable pace and the opportunity to deepen your discoveries according to your interests.
Absolutely, Izmir serves as an excellent base for exploring Western Anatolia. The most appreciated combinations include Istanbul for its Ottoman heritage, Cappadocia for its lunar landscapes, or the Lycian coast for its paradisiacal beaches. Our Travel Planners design smooth itineraries optimizing travel times and maximizing your discoveries.
