Traveler reviews
Turkey
Everything was wonderful. Thanks
It was a budget group tour, but it was the best
I would like to inform Korean guests that the company is very recommended. The price is low and the entrance fee is also transparent to me personally. The best hotel is not as cheap as the best hotel to stay in the city hotel, but I can choose what you want to eat dinner on foot and go out. The tour is golgous, there are no busts and the schedule at the time of reservation went according to the schedule, the airport pickup and the necessary amounts and so on.
Great experience for our Turkey holiday.
We love the attentive staff, guides and driver. It made our holiday truly seamless from arrival to departure. Everything was well planned and coordinated. The only thing perhaps was the itinerary at Cappadocia which did not include hot air balloon. Most would like to either take the ride experience or take photo with all hot air balloon in the backdrop as the ultimate remembrance.
Impressed by Tour Altinkum!
We feel very lucky to have booked our trip with Tour Altinkum. Communication was the key element that made this trip a success. Tour Altinkum’s agents were on top of the game when it came to keeping us informed about schedules, pick-up times, departures, etc. Drivers & Tour guides were always on time and were so friendly! Everything was so perfect: transportation, lodging, meals, friendly & knowledgeable tour guides and of course the spectacular locations we got to see and experience. Bravo!!! We are especially appreciative of the extra effort you put in to locate and deliver a bag we accidentally left in one of the vans. It was solely our fault and we were convinced the bag was lost forever. Somehow you found it and we are eternally grateful! We will highly recommend you to our friends.
