Traveler reviews
Turkish experience
Hotel choices were good đ. Everyday, we were given an update about our tour by berkay of tour altinkum. Although there was a last minute changes, they were able to fix it.
Ancient Marvels in Turkey
For the most part, the trip was very well organized. We were met on time at various places. The guides had excellent English skills. The hotels were somewhat disappointing. We selected the 4 star option, and the hotels would NOT qualify as 4 star in the U.S. or Western Europe. The Celal Sultan room was tiny. The Capadocia hotel was charming and beautiful, and the room was huge. But, the lighting was inadequate--not enough light to read after sunset; nor was lighting good in the bathroom. The Best Western in Antalya was dreary, and the Efe in Ephesus had a poorly functioning elevator and a miniscule bathroom. It was also in general poorly maintained. The museum in Antalya should have been on the itinerary. We were not shown the theater in Pergamon, which was really unfortunate.
A great trip and experience
A great trip and experience. Everything is thoughtful. I went from Vietnam and my sister from Germany came with me. The tour guide was enthusiastic and the driver was good. The accommodations are thoughtful, I received daily schedules and support from ALTINKUM TRAVEL TOUR via Whatsap. Thanks
Great start to exploring Turkey
Had a brilliant trip exploring a very small part of Turkey. The history is amazing and landscape stunning. We had a great guide and driver (Okan and Ali). Stayed in great hotels but the Fresco Cave Suites were just awesome as was Volkan who made our stay amazing, the breakfasts were the best we had and the ladies preparing and serving us were so kind. Seder/Seda and Kerem at Tour Altinkum Travel were terrific keeping us uptodate on flights etc and even checking is in for our internal flight when our transport was delayed. Replied straightaway to any queries we had, always felt they were there to help. Left Turkey with ceramics, quartz tiles, saffron, chrystal menthol and great memories. Rug is being shipped đ
Fabulous Turkey tour
It was a well organised trip. Comfortable hotels & fabulous guide. We had Barboros, also known as Barb, for short, who was our guide from Cappadoccia - Antalya - Kusadasi. Very well versed with the history and more importantly was attentive to all our needs. Thanks Barb. Perhaps the tour company can include some cultural performances and dances as entertainment. This was lacking!
