    · June 4th, 2025
    Great trip because of our tour guide Efe. Small issues prevented me from giving it five stars: —meet and greet at Istanbul airport not smooth. Had to wait 30 minutes for transport. —tour advertised a cable car ride to a mountain summit outside Antalya. That cable car has not operated in a year. —some of the lunch buffets were less than optimal. The sit down lunches were much better.

    Liam

    Asked on July 12th, 2023

    Are there different rates for 4 or 5 star hotels? At the moment the deal on Tour Radar is AUD $2,188 per person, what hotel package does that include, and what would the cost be for a higher hotel package?

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten July 2023

      Flight from Antalya to Kayseri can be arranged according to available flights. There are flights every 2h from Antalya to Istanbul but there is no direct flight from Antalya to Cappadocia every day, there is on specific days. The price difference of the flight tickets may add to your trip details.

    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten July 2023

      Here is the list of hotels might use for this service: Istanbul: Celal SUltan Hotel, Cannakale: Buyuk Truva Hotel, Kusadasi: Efe Boutique, Antalya: Best Western Khan. The hotel section can be upgraded with the hotels listed below at the additional cost of 500USD per person: Istanbul: Sura Hagia Sophia, Cannakale: Kolin Hotel, Kusadasi: Charisma De Luxe, Antalya: Double Tree by Hilton City Center.

    Beth

    Asked on July 1st, 2023

    What are the optional extra tour experiences and the charges for selecting them? Example: Balloon ride over Cappadocia, underground city? Is there a separate charge for the flight back to Istanbul on the 7th day? Please tell more about the Overnight train. Are you in seats overnight or seat converted to lie down? Is the train air conditioned? Do we transport our own luggage, or how is that managed?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten July 2023

      The tour is fully guided group tour in a high model minibus. This package does not cover visiting Cappadocia so it won't be able to add balloon flight. If you would like to visit Cappadocia, I can share one of our best seller Turkey packages that covers Cappadocia also. There is no train journey in this package. The land transportation will be in a high model vehicle. The minibuses we use have a place where the guests can keep their luggages.
