8 Dagen Parels van Turkije

My favourite part of the journey was the knowledge and friendliness, tact and professionalism of the guides. Each historic site visited was expkained in detail, whilst they also respects if we wanted to explore and jyst feel the energies of the place. We were given choices of amazing authentic food experiences along the way. Traveling was in comfortable minivans with aircon, and the assistance given at the airports for internal flights were priceless.

We just came back from our trip and we are so happy we chose this 8 day tour of Turkey. Sedef, our tour coordinator, was absolutely amazing! She was available for us all the time, answered our questions quickly, and made accommodations for us whenever we needed it. We highly recommend this experience. Thank you for an amazing trip to Turkey!!

We had the most amazing time in Turkey! Our guides were super knowledgeable and friendly. Metin on the biggest part of our tour and Shukran in Cappadoccia were just the best!!

The experience gained on this magical journey to the bowels of our civilization has been profound, with true knowledge of history thanks to our guide Emre. I have travelled quite a lot and this time I have been surprised xq we have been fortunate to have an authentic scholar, Mr. Elmer. It is worth adding that Emre and driver Okra made our trip an unforgettable experience. If you are looking for a learning journey in an easy to understand way, taking home the desire to continue learning, with simple, friendly people, willing to serve you at all times, this is the company you should choose.

Visited three cities in the tour. They were three totally different experiences. Cappadocia was wonderful. Try to spend a day more as Kusadasi to enjoy the stay at wonderful Efe boutique.

Tour was very well organized and executed, Kerem and Sevde were very responsive and wonderful to work with. Incredibly easy to book. We really appreciated the daily WhatsApp update once the tour started, reminding us of the next day schedule with link to tickets. Airport pick up and drop off worked very well. The tour in essence preserves the independent traveler freedom / feel for us, while taking care of the local logistics. All local tours were small groups, around 10 or less in a comfortable van. Cappadocia tour guides were both fantastic, which together with hot air balloon ride were the high lights of this tour. Ephesus was interesting. I had high hopes for pamukkale but the day was brutally hot, the terrace pool was not shaded, and we only had a couple of hours there in early afternoon during the hottest part of the day. On retrospect, we should probably have stayed overnight there. Istanbul is beyond words, be prepared for culture shock. full-day tour guide, Ali, was awesome, a great story teller that brings things alive for us. All breakfast at hotels were good. Hotels are clean, well located, and each unique in their own way. A la Cart lunch were high quality, we are not fans of buffet lunches but selections were large. I was concerned about turkey domestic flights which turned out to be unnecessary, as three domestic flights were comfortable, and largely on time. I’m glad we chose to fly instead of long distance bus. There was a minor hiccup for the last day hotel, which was caught and fixed by Sevde, before it became a problem.

Excellent experience I looked them up online and they had 5 star rating. Well deserved ***** and highly recommended. Now that I booked and started my tour all I can say how much I’m impressed with their service and professional staff at an excellent price and great value . From day one of booking Mr Kerem made it easy and flawless process. He came up with an amazing 16 day itinerary for our group to tour turkey. Our tour guide Mr Emre and okan our driver got out of there way to make sure that we are having a great time in a safe manner. The knowledge of our guide in the history of turkey is impressive . He explained and educated us on everything that we saw and visited. He answered every question we had in a professional and yet fun and easy way to understand . The hospitality and friendliness of our guide and our driver made us feel how proud they are with there country and culture. They both enjoy what they do and that really makes you appreciate them. From A to Z they both made our trip an amazing experience . Me and my group all agreed how lucky we were to have Emre and okan to be our guides ,they made our visit to turkey unforgettable. Highly recommend tour company and specially Mr Emre for tour guide .

Tour Altinkum experience was top-notch in so many ways for us. We were impressed right away with the company responsiveness: our emails were answered almost in minutes, all questions addressed thoroughly. We traveled as a family and the company accommodated our interests to include things of interest for kids. Tour Altinkum planned all the logistics: all the in-country flights, comfortable transfers, excellent hotel locations. Our tour guide - Emre - is just a walking encyclopedia on Turkey’s history and culture. His storytelling style engages all ages! The stops on the tour are well-designed. We felt that we had time to see major highlights and also time to explore. We highly recommend the Spice Bazar in Istanbul ( with Emre guiding you through). Capadocia’s landscape will stay with you forever, especially once you realize how many civilizations and cultures it cradled. In Kushadasi you will have the best fish dish you ever had, thanks to Tour Altinkum putting you in the hotel right next to harbor restaurants. Emre introduced us to so many authentic experiences: we tried the drink called “salep” ( orchid flower-based) and looked for it daily after that. Emre also is very attentive to our questions and requests. One of the participants rolled an ankle on the walking tour and Emre managed to find a nurse right away! So, make sure you bring good walking shoes on your trip. You will be in really good hands with Tour Altinkum.

An excellent package managed by an exceptional team!!. Tour Altinkum transformed our first ever visit to Turkey an unforgettable sweet experience. Arranging everything, answering each query, finding solutions for even minor concerns they made it sure that we just had to go with the flow. The guides were very friendly and well informed. Food was amazing. Hotels arranged, specially Fresco Cave Suites, were stunnning. Bosphorus cruise was an amazing experience. The way this great team did it was so nice that even the 6 year old child in our group was very comfortable throughout the tour. We wish we had more time in Pamukkale. We are determined to be back to Turkey. Tour Altinkum team, you are very professional and nice. Kudos to each of you. Thank you for the great time we had. Thomas & Family Sandeep & Family
