Reviews from Travellers on this Tour

Trip to Turkey

12-Jul-2020

A visit to Ephesus was on our 'to do' list so we arranged a guided Package. Our guide gave us lots of great advice for the day and was a pleasure to deal with. On the day our tour guide, Gurkan, was brilliant friendly, clear, and pointed out details and information we would have missed on our own. All in all a fantastic day which we will remember for years to come. Highly recommended.

MEMORABLE TOUR OF TURKEY THANKS TO TAT

05-Jul-2020

Tour Altinkum Travel arranged and conducted our tour in Turkey in the most professional way. They communicated with us before and during our tour and fulfilled all our expectations to explore their wonderful country. We traveled from Istanbul to Ephesus, Pamukkale, Cappadocia, and back to Istanbul in great luxury and accompanied by very professional guides who all spoke excellent English. Our guide EMRE and driver HAKAN who accompanied us for most of our trip are the best in the business and were always prepared to walk the extra mile. We recommend TAT (Kerem) without hesitation.

Very enthusiastic guides, friendly, and provided us with a lot of helpful information. Every single day of the tour was well organized, hotels we stayed were centrally located and clean, the best part of the tour was cruising to Turquoise bays, swam in crystal clear waters.

The tour was excellent! The tour guide was super sweet and funny, she told us a lot about the place and history. It was super fun! You get a lot for little money.
