Everything was wonderful. Thanks
I would like to inform Korean guests that the company is very recommended. The price is low and the entrance fee is also transparent to me personally. The best hotel is not as cheap as the best hotel to stay in the city hotel, but I can choose what you want to eat dinner on foot and go out. The tour is golgous, there are no busts and the schedule at the time of reservation went according to the schedule, the airport pickup and the necessary amounts and so on.
We love the attentive staff, guides and driver. It made our holiday truly seamless from arrival to departure. Everything was well planned and coordinated. The only thing perhaps was the itinerary at Cappadocia which did not include hot air balloon. Most would like to either take the ride experience or take photo with all hot air balloon in the backdrop as the ultimate remembrance.
We feel very lucky to have booked our trip with Tour Altinkum. Communication was the key element that made this trip a success. Tour Altinkum’s agents were on top of the game when it came to keeping us informed about schedules, pick-up times, departures, etc. Drivers & Tour guides were always on time and were so friendly! Everything was so perfect: transportation, lodging, meals, friendly & knowledgeable tour guides and of course the spectacular locations we got to see and experience. Bravo!!! We are especially appreciative of the extra effort you put in to locate and deliver a bag we accidentally left in one of the vans. It was solely our fault and we were convinced the bag was lost forever. Somehow you found it and we are eternally grateful! We will highly recommend you to our friends.
Great company. Delivered on all promises. Good knowledgeable guides. Good price point. Both efficient and in depth enough to be informative
This tour is a great way to tick off all the must-see sights of Turkey within a fast-paced week. The itinerary is well-organized, allowing you to experience the highlights without feeling rushed. Communication through WhatsApp was near-instantaneous, which made everything run smoothly and added a level of reassurance throughout the trip. One of the absolute highlights was the optional hot air balloon ride – an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone considering it. The drivers were always on time, the staff were helpful, and most of the meals provided were enjoyable, though the coffee could have been a bit stronger. That said, the hotels could definitely be improved, especially in Cappadocia, where the rooms lacked air conditioning, a fridge, and even a TV, which made the stay less comfortable than expected. Overall, it’s a well-executed trip with a few areas for improvement.
Hands down one of my best trips in the last 10 yrs. So well organized and planned. Absolutely no hick ups. All the drivers, guides and tour van were fabulous. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to travel to Turkey. Even the ground support team was so efficient and prompt.
My family and I had a wonderful trip in Turkey thanks to Tour Altinkum Travel. Their agents, Kerem, Sedef and Ali were always ready to help, providing us with a daily programme and useful information. The guides, Okan, Furkan, Mehmet,Foonda and Erdi, as well as the drivers, were very professional and punctual. The balloon flight in Cappadocia was a delightful experience, with breakfast and champagne served upon landing. The domestic flights were always on time and hassle-free. The hotels were comfortable, with a polite and courteous staff. I strongly recommend Tour Altinkum Travel for that tour. Our holidays in Turkey were wonderful thanks to them!
