- LALisa· October 24th, 2025We had an excellent time on our vacation. The tour was planned very well. We are looking forward to future tours.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- GJGARETH· October 10th, 2025Tour Altinkum communication and guides were great. Downside - some transfers / late flights made going to new hotels and getting to the tours the following day very tiring, so would have paid a bit more to avoid that.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
Lou· August 31st, 2025It was great! The arrangements were flawless. The accommodations and transportation were comfortable. The coordination and response times were good. Tour operator was also flexible and offered alternatives when one attraction was temporarily closed.Show moreTrip date: August 2025- Rhonda· August 16th, 2025The itinerary gave us a good insight into Turkiye. All of the guides were professional, considerate and very knowledgeable. There were never more than a total of 12 guests per day. The quality of the included lunches were acceptable with some better than others. I had expected to have the same guide and group of participants in each location but this varied every day. The only exception was in Cappadocia where we had the same guide and some of the same participants for the two days. It was frustrating that entrance fees weren't included in the tour cost. It seemed that entrance fees were predominantly quoted in Euro, simply to cater for tourists, whilst the source entrance fee was in Lira currency. Despite Tour Altinkum stating that entrance fees had to be paid in cash to the guide, many locations, especially in Pamukkale and Cappadocia, could be paid by card directly to the merchant. We found that withdrawing foreign cash from bank ATMs in Turkiye all charged either 7 or 8 percent commission.Show moreTrip date: August 2025

- MRMohammad· March 12th, 2025Itinerary was hectic (including four domestic flights) and attractions were widespread. It was very well planned, however, and a very complex interplay of various services (pickups, drop offs, guides, drivers, hotels, tours) worked in a very well coordinated manner.Show moreTrip date: March 2025
- LGLinda· October 26th, 2024We went on the 8 day tour. The hotel in Istanbul was in a perfect location for a quick walk to all the sights. The tour was well organized, so we didn’t have to worry about luggage, transportation or schedules. Plenty of a variety of delicious tasting Turkish food. Guides were very knowledgeable. Fabulous trip that we will always remember.Show moreTrip date: October 2024

Asked on August 12th, 2025We'd like to add another day in Cappadocia for the opportunity to do the hot air balloon experience. How much would that cost? Also, at the end of the tour, we'd like to fly to Athens instead of Istanbul. Is that possible?

We can add 1 extra night in Cappadocia. The price for an additional night's accommodation is 140 USD per night including breakfast for a double room. We arrange only domestic flights and do not provide international flight services.
