Traveler reviews
Top experiences of my life
It was amazing and very professional trip and oru guides were exceptional. All the Stops on the trip were excellent. I loved the extra balloon ride I paid for it was well worth every penny.
Returned from a great experience
Thank you very much for a great experience! We were a group of six from different nationalities and booked the almost identical tour as a private guided tour, starting in Istanbul. We had three different local guides for Istanbul (Okan), Ephesus and Pamukkale (Hatice) and Ümit (Cappadocia). All three were very friendly - and patient - and knew their business well. The transfers were all exactly on time and in new vehicles in good condition. Hotels were all *****, ranging from traditional in Istanbul, over brand-new in Kusadasi, to cave hotel in Cappadocia. Good breakfasts and good rooms for everyone. To the management: Thank you for your quick replies and the will to make every wish come true. Also thank you for the daily updates on pickup times and itinerary in general. You were very helpful.
Fantastic operator and brilliant tour package
What a fantastic tour package. The pace was perfect for us - two nights per city - and the mix of activities was great. Tour Altinkum Turkey is an absolutely reliable and organised company. We booked the tour many months in advance and I wondered if they would forget about our booking. They did not forget, and made contact about a week before the tour and provided the actual domestic flight tickets. Whilst a detailed itinerary is provided upon booking, a member of staff sends valuable daily updates via Whatsapp: pickup time, the location, cash to bring for admission, clothing to wear for next day activities. You are also provided very clear instructions as to whether you need to bring your luggage along or not as sometimes you have an opportunity to return to the hotel before leaving for the airport. The company provides full transfers from arrival into Istanbul to departure from Istanbul. They offer so much flexibility that we had finished our tour but continued privately for 3 days afterwards. They were still more than happy to organise transfers from our final hotel to Istanbul airport. We went for the 4-star hotel option which is more than sufficient. The tours start early and end in the afternoon so there is not much idle time. Many thanks to Meric and Sedef who were so kind and helpful! They both went above and beyond.
This is a must do. So excellent.
This tour keeps you busy and on the go but it was absolutely spectacular. We have traveled a lot and this is one of the best tours we have ever done. Accommodation, meals, activities just flow into each other. Thank you for all. Arne and Steve Our guides names were: Verkay Cakir Seder GIF GIF
Excellent tour of Turkey
I did this tour with my family of 5. It was a bit tiring but I also wouldn’t have changed anything. The balloon ride in cappadocia was absolutely amazing and a worthwhile add on. The fresco cave hotel in cappadocia was the best hotel of our trip, I recommend visiting this hotel. We had one of the best meals ever at fresco and loved the historical cave hotel. All hotels we stayed at were close to shopping and restaurants. The tour guides were excellent. My only suggestion would be take a small carry on with essentials for each flight incase your luggage misses a connection. This happened to us and I was unprepared.
