- JAJon· November 24th, 2025Really great personal service. Everything booked by the company - airport transfers, hotels, internal flights, hot air balloon flight, tours and daily guides. We received daily informative WatSap messages outlining the following days activities. All great quality. All on time.Show moreTrip date: November 2025
Ines· September 25th, 2025Amazing experience!!! Better than expected! The agency gives you all the information on day before each activity with all details you should take in count, they also solve your doubts and any problems that arise. They are on WhatsApp and reply in few mins. All the tours were done with great guides, Couldn’t ask for more!Show moreTrip date: September 2025- Chung· September 9th, 2025Smooth arrangement but will be better if these could be improved. 1. 30/8/25 - additional charges of entry fee for Hagia Sophia that was not listed as charges travel has to bear on this own but has to pay the tour guide. 2. There are at frequent visits to certain premium shops for carpet, porcelain, jewelry , leather clothing etc which were not clearly mentioned in the itenary. 3. For traveller who has already check in online- waiting time at the airport with more 4 hours before boarding is probably too much.Show more

- HHilda· February 11th, 2024The first night at Celal Sultan hotel was very bad due to the room was new painted with oil base paint. I was very sick with bleeding nose and spat throat who’s lasted almost the whole tour. I had to skip the first day in Istanbul to get some rest. The tour to Cappadocia was amazing so was the hotel, staff and amazing breakfast that is thought of and organised by the hotel. The guide was very good, knowledgeable and caring. The second tour to Pamukelle was great apart from the long waiting in two airports and two flights to get at destinations at around midnight. The hotel room was not prepared, pillows without cases, ripped dovet covers(photos can be provide). Brekefast was in a dark bar with very unpleasant staff member who was unwelcoming and not interested in what she was doing. The tours guide was very knowledgeable and he ought to be commended on well done tours. The busted sights were extremely beautiful and wished we could have stayed longer in the mineral lakes. Thank you, Dr Huda Al-TamimiShow moreTrip date: February 2024

Kathryn
Asked on October 30th, 2025Is it possible to leave our large luggages with the hotel at Istanbul for the 7 days tour and pick it up at the last day when we return to Istanbul?
- K
Kathryn
Traveler•Written October 2025How big is the triple room for each location? We prefer twin plus single room for 3 person but the surcharge is much more.
Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written October 2025Since you will be staying at the same hotel at the beginning and end of your tour in Istanbul, you may leave your luggage there — the hotel can keep it for you.
- Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written October 2025
Triple rooms are around 15–18 square meters. As most of the hotels are city hotels, the rooms are not very large. It would be more comfortable for three people to choose one twin/double room and one single room instead.

Regarding the hot air balloon, it can be arranged for the morning of Day 3. After your reservation is completed, we will be glad to book it for you.
