- Nina· July 12th, 2024The tour was AMAZING! Thank you Tour Altinkum Travel for taking care of us, organizing every single detail of our trip, and making us feel at home every step of the way. Turkey stole our hearts, especially Cappadocia. Our stay at the Fresco Cave Hotel was so cool and nothing like we tried before. Kudos to the whole team especially Kerem, Sedef, and Berkay for taking care of all the logistics and of course our tour guide Hatice, who made our adventuring so enjoyable, even at 35 degrees heat. Teşekkürler, we will be back in Turkey again soon! ❤️??Show more

Sometimes not enough time to walk around to take pictures, especially in the first stop where we had 10 minutes to take pictures (Göreme Tarihi park). Excellent explanations and attitude of the guides in all the tours. Cons: airport transfer drivers very courteous but do not speak or understand English. We were taken to the wrong hotel and had to wait 30 minutes to get a taxi who ended up ripping us off.Show moreTour Altinkum Travel commented on this reviewHello Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

- Omar· January 20th, 2021Let me just say that they’re a third party agency, that set you up with local tours. Avoiding the inconvenience of hoping you aren’t the only person on the tour....or else it gets canceled. But with this particularly tour, it’s always guaranteed departure. No matter what, which is awesome!!! (: Everything went really smooth, they have somebody you can talk to at any hour of the day, and they’re very friendly & help! The cave hotel in Cappadocia was just stunning to say the least! Definitely recommend, and won’t hesitate to book with them again 🙏🏼Show moreTour Altinkum Travel commented on this reviewHello Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

- JJane· August 11th, 2020The reason I bought this tour package was covering the Istanbul and Cappadocia I especially wanted to visit. And I can say it was worth every penny. well organized from start until the end. The explanations of the tour guides were very successful. The best part of the hotels we stayed in was that they had a central location. I can recommend this tour to anyone. You can be sure you won't regret itShow moreTrip date: January 2020

Asked on August 12th, 2025Can you do a Quad room for this one, children are 7 & 9
Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written August 2025Sure, we can arrange a hotel with a quad room. After you make the reservation, you may mention this request. As it will be an early booking, I believe we will be able to secure availability for the quad rooms.

Clare
Asked on July 14th, 2025Since the tour starts on day 1, how early does our flight have to arrive there? We are coming from san Francisco and there is only 1 flight that would arrive 11:45m. Alternatively, we can come 1 day earlier and will arrive 5:45pm but the tour probably won't start that late so do we lose the benefit we paid for for transportation from airport to tour location?
- Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written July 2025
The pick-up time for Day 1 of the Treasures of Istanbul tour is around 9:00 AM, and we will drive you to the airport at the end of the tour. Therefore, we recommend that you arrive one day earlier and arrange your hotel in Istanbul in advance. Please note that we do not provide airport pick-up on the first day of this package. We offer pick-up only from centrally located hotels in the Sultanahmet, Taksim, or Karaköy areas. You may choose to book a hotel in one of these neighborhoods for convenience.

Traveler•Written July 2025The tour said optional hot air balloon ride which is something we want to do but I don't see it on the itiniery. What day would that be?

Clare
Traveler•Written July 2025Also, how do we know what time our flight from istanbul to cappadocia is? Will we get to choose if the tour is booked or thats something that you arrange for us?
- Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written July 2025
The hot air balloon flight can be added on the 2nd or 3rd morning of your itinerary. The price varies depending on the season, so please let us know your expected travel dates, and we'll be happy to provide the exact rate. Since it is a sunrise flight, it will not affect your daily tour schedule. We will arrange your domestic flight tickets. On your first day, after the Istanbul tour, we typically use flight TK2022, which departs at 20:05 (IST) and arrives at 21:40 (ASR). For your last day: day 04th - we are flexible — you may choose a morning, noon, or evening flight back to Istanbul depending on your schedule, and we will arrange the flights accordingly.

Asked on June 23rd, 2025Can we book the balloon ride with a 4 day trip?
- Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written June 2025
Sure, we can arrange a hot air balloon ride as an optional extra. The price is $300 USD per person, including hotel pick-up and drop-off, for flights in September. Once you complete your reservation, feel free to let us know if you'd like to book the balloon ride. As it is a sunrise flight, it will not affect your tour schedule for the day.

Asked on April 19th, 2025Could you please describe when we returning into Istanbul 11 may to Airport? I am going to book tickets from Istanbul immediately and which airport we arriving to from Cappadocia?
- Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written April 2025
We generally use flight TK2015, which departs from Kayseri (ASR) at 13:20 and arrives in Istanbul (IST) at 14:55 for the return leg. However, if that flight is fully booked, we reserve seats on alternative flights, which may be scheduled for later in the afternoon. Therefore, I cannot guarantee the exact flight time in advance. We will confirm your flight details as soon as possible after your booking is finalized. For this reason, I recommend waiting to book any onward flights from Istanbul until we confirm your Cappadocia–Istanbul flight. Please also note that we generally use Kayseri Airport (ASR) for departures from Cappadocia.

Asked on March 29th, 2025do i book hotel in istanbul one night before the tour and one night after? during the first day meet-up, do i check out from the hotel and meet the tour guide with my luggage for the whole trip or what?
- Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written March 2025
On the first day of the tour, we will pick you up from your hotel and begin the tour. After the tour, we will drive you to Istanbul Airport for your domestic flight to Cappadocia. Please note that you will need to check out in the morning and bring your luggage with you. On the last day of the tour, we provide only airport transfer service and flight ticket. If you require accommodation in Istanbul, you will need to arrange your hotel separately. Istanbul accommodation is not included in this tour package, so you will need to book it yourself.

Asked on September 23rd, 2024Me and my friend would like to book this tour for January 2025. We'd like to know about: 1. Hot balloon ride, if it can be accomodated (since the weather might not be suitable in January) and its charges. 2. Can we change the return flight - we'd like to go to Antalya instead of Istanbul? 3. We'd like to share the same room - will this help decrease the overall tour cost?
- Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written September 2024
Hot Air Balloon flight in Cappadocia can be added to the itinerary at the additinal cost of 170 USD per person included pick up and drop off. Flights takes place early in the morning and do not affect your standard schedule. You will refunded if the flights cancel due to bad weather conditions. If there is available and direct flight, yes. we can take a flight to Antalya instead. The prices is lower per person in a double room than per person in a single room. But, the tour do not have room sharing option.
