Reviews From Travellers On This Tour

Jeremy  

awesome tours to hearts of history

01-May-2020

Istanbul leg of the tour was spot on. Incredibly knowledgeable and fun guide. One guide to to a couple! No following a flag around in a large gaggle. Transfers to airport and flights went like clockwork for the second half in central Turkey.

Istambul&Efes&Cappadocia

09-Apr-2020

We booked this tour because we wanted to go to Istanbul, Ephesus, Pamukkale and capadocia and tour Altinkum was the only company provided this itinerary in a time frame suitable for us. We enjoyed our Turkey tour. The whole process was streamlined and well organised. Although we get different tour guides at each city, someone kept in touch with us via WhatsApp messaging to inform us pick up times. Some of the tours provided were private tours, which was quite nice. Hotel accommodations provided were cute boutique hotels, which often provided free upgrades. We also did hot air balloon flight in cappadocia which was not included in our original itinerary, but Altinkum tour organized everything for us.

What does it say about a tour when you cry when it is time to say goodbye to your guide and driver? I can say with all my heart that there was not one thing that went wrong or was not to my satisfaction for the entire 7 days and 6 nights. Emre was the super perfect guide and Harkon the most courteous and careful driver. I must also make comment of the tour company, Tour Altinkum. Every time I contacted them, with perhaps a nervous silly question prior to the tour they responded within 1/2 an hour, day or night. I felt secure in their hands. I would be honoured for anyone considering doing this tour to contact me directly for a recommendation. Thank you so much to everyone involved.

After a lot of research, we finally decided to try this tour company. I can say this with a conversation that, we had a wonderful time with them. Kerem made sure that we got all details on time he was contently in touch with us. The selection of hotels was good and all our tour guides were excellent. Not but the least they offer a great price. Total worth it. In fact, I recommend them to my friend who also liked them. Don't think twice just book with them Thanks Kerem
