- KSKaren· February 25th, 2023The overall experience was really great … it was action packed and at a fast pace… at times a little frantic for a couple of 65 year olds … the very early starts were tough but on the plus side the guides in Egypt were caring and tried to accommodate our requests with a number of unexpected upgrades. On the other hand the Turkey tour operator were poor communicators and we often felt like our itinerary was changed to suit their convenience, not ours. All that said it was an experience of a lifetime and I would recommend this trip to anyone with a bit of fortitude!Show moreTrip date: January 2023

- JBJane· April 7th, 2022I was impressed with how smoothly your operation runs. Communication was very good. A few suggestions to improve this tour: When there are different groups traveling by train and plane from Cairo to Aswan it would be best to pick up the train group first and then the people at the hotel. The train schedule is unreliable and we sat and waited almost 3 hours at the train station. Collecting $75 per person for tips in Egypt did not seem to work very efficiently. For example on the Nile cruise the porters were expecting a tip and were not happy with us when we told them our guide had money for the tips. It was most uncomfortable. Staying one less day in Hurghada would have been preferable. That would have given us more time to recuperate from traveling to Istanbul. Since we had not slept in over 24 hours we were not able to fully participate in the included tour. It was disappointing to miss out and there was little time to spend in Istanbul.Show moreTrip date: March 2022
- IMIvan· February 9th, 2022This is the way to see this part of the world as first cut . So many things you always hoped to see and a whole lot of places you never heard of which are as good or better. The guides are all knowledgeable, flexible and helpful. Great experience.Show moreTrip date: January 2022
- Beyond the Nile· February 2nd, 2022I Loved the small group tour of just 6 travellers ,I travel A LOT and this trip was beyond everything I expected. The hotels where we stayed were very nice and clean, All the buses which we used for transportation were private because we were just small group and that make us feel comfortable because of Covid-19 pandemic. I loved the food and meals during this holiday, it is very tasty and fresh. the sightseeing and the itinerary was a wonderful mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation. Ayman from Egypt was a knowledgeable guide and passionate about his country and also Karim from Turkey. . Highly recommend!Show moreTour Altinkum Travel commented on this reviewHello Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It's a great pleasure for us to hear that you enjoyed your trip.

- JJoannah· January 23rd, 2022Had a great time at both destinations. Very well planned. Ayman in Egypt and Sedef in Turkey have been very helpful. They kept updating the next day's schedule on WhatsApp, Where to wait, what is the pickup time, they were sending planes, train tickets a day before. Tour guides were very knowledgeable, They are very knowledgeable in the history of the countries they live in. Hotels were superb, well located, and all hotels included breakfast. You can buy this tour with peace of mind. Nothing to worry about. They do everything for you.
