Traveler reviews
Great 13 days!
Had an amazing time, everything was organised properly and on time. The staff was helpful and always stayed in touch and keept us updated about the trip. Highly recommended
An amazing and effortless experience
This was a fantastic tour experience. We absolutely loved how smoothly everything ran with daily text communication from Tour Altinkum, limousine transfers that were always on time, excellent tour guides and an itinerary that was outstanding. Staying at the Fresco Cave Suites in Cappadocia was a special treat. Restaurant there was outstanding too. Be sure to book your balloon tour early (some were disappointed they missed out). Could not fault Tour Altinkum.

A Fantastic Trip!
We really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend this trip. The folks from Altinkum stayed in touch with us the entire time and always responded quickly with very helpful information when we had questions (thank-you Ali and Sedef!). The land transportation vehicles were always on-time and very comfortable. The tour guides were well educated and friendly. Some were more energetic than others but they all had a high standard. The flights were on-time and allowed us to make the most of our limited time. The accomodations were always extremely well located in each town and city and, with one exception, were of a very high quality. The Best Western in Antalya was very well located but our room was smokey and renovations were occurring down the hall. We saw so much in a relatively short period of time and were safe, comfortable and well supported throughout. We highly recommend this trip. Kari and Kelly
Amazing experience, great tour company!
This was an amazing experience and I’m very satisfied with Tour Altinkum. I am in my late 30s and traveled with another female friend who is in her 70s. We had 3 guides during our 2 week trip and 2 out of 3 were excellent. (The not-so-great tour guide was quiet and difficult to keep up with amongst the crowds, but still knowledgeable). The bulk of our trip was with Ali who was very knowledgeable about the history of Turkey and all of the sites we visited. He was fun and we enjoyed having him as our guide. Transportation was comfortable and reliable. The “tour group” changed each day as people would join us for 1 or 2 days. I think the most we had for 1 day was 10 people but usually we had 5-7 people in the group. The hotels were great and all well-located, and we especially liked our hotels in Bodrum and Cappadocia. The included breakfasts (in our hotels) and lunches were good too. They did a good job of planning lunches that allowed us to try a variety of Turkish foods. It was easy enough to reach the tour company during our tour if we had questions. We asked for a few modifications, such as extending our stay in 1 location, which they accommodated. A detailed trip itinerary was provided upon request. Some days had a lot of walking on uneven surfaces, mostly for visiting ruins. But even the streets in Istanbul can be uneven and require a lot of stairs. Also, while I did appreciate that some flights were included vs long drives, there were still 2 days that were very long (leaving at 8am and arriving at the destination at 7pm). However they did a good job of allowing frequent breaks to use the bathroom, get a coffee, etc. I also appreciated that most mornings we started at 9am or later, and most of our days didn’t feel super packed. I’m not a fan of the group tours with 7am start times and 9pm finish times. One recommendation is for the tour company to collect money ahead of time for entrance fees to sites and museums vs paying for it while in Turkey. This would make it easier for both of the tourists and guides, even if it was deducted a week or so before the trip start date to account for the inflation occurring in Turkey. I also think it’d be nice to include the Basilica Cisterns as part of the tour in Istanbul. Overall, it was a fabulous experience and I would recommend Tour Altinkum to others!
