Appreciation on Altinkum Tour for their excellent service and very professional tour guides - I would like to give my two thumbs up for Altinkum Tour for their superb and excellent service on organizing my tour journey in Turkey. Not only smooth journey but they always send us an update recap itinerary and reconfirm all the tour pick up and flights if any one day prior tour ur without fail.
Most importantly when we encounter problems they respond super fast and immediately. I am very grateful for their excellent customer support service and very much appreciate with their tour guide service Mr. Ogun and Ms. Hattice. Both of them are very knowledgeable, very passionate on doing their jobs. I highly recommend Altinkum Tour and these 2 guides if you’re planning in your Turkey trips.

Perfect and smooth trip - Very well organised all the way through 8days of our travelling. From transport, tours, hotel, flights all perfectly done. I cant imagine if i need to do all by myself. Some suggestions, i’d prefer to have accommodation in Capadoccia, in goreme instead of urgup. The rest is perfect. Thank u for making mother-daughter trip memorable.

A lot of Turkiye in a short time. - We loved the tour with Altikum Travel. No worries about transportation and small groups. Most days it was just my wife and me on the tour. Two days one other and two days with 6 others. Daily tour guides were mostly excellent. Safe drivers took us to places and activities in Istanbul, Ephesus, Hieropolis, and Cappadocia. Hot air ballooning, Bosphorus Strait tour, and markets. Hotels were very comfortable, with our favorite being in a cave in Cappadocia. Amazing trip and super affordable. Be aware that entry fees to each of the historic sites is separate from the tour and worth it. New US $100 bills are accepted everywhere, $50 bills are not because of counterfeiting issues. We felt comfortable and safe in every location.

Great Experience on First Multi-Day Tour - So glad we did this tour. It was our first time doing a multi-day tour like this. I usually like to plan my own activities, but this itinerary caught my eye. We saw so much in 8 days, and still had down time in the evenings to do our own thing.
Mert was a fantastic guide. He adapted to the needs of each person in our group while keeping us on schedule. Communication from the tour company was top notch and everything went smoothly. Not having to worry about travel logistics allowed us to relax and focus on enjoying the sites.
All of the hotels were great and had amazing breakfasts. A couple of the lunches were a little lackluster, but we never went hungry. Mert helped our group navigate a variety of dietary preferences and allergies.
We did have time to swim in Pamukkale, so pack a swimsuit!
We added an extra day in Istanbul at the end of the trip, which I would recommend to anyone who has the time.

Key highlights of Türkiye - Overall the tour is amazing. Turkey is a bit on the expensive side but it's worth it. Baskin was our tour guide for the first day in Istanbul and he was just amazing 5+ stars, gave us lots of information on the guided tour. The guide on the Bosphorus ferry also have us a lot of information about the buildings on the coasts.
The trips to Pamukale was good, it is beautiful, but the guide could have shared some more information about the history and place, there was not much talking done by the guide to show us around. Also the trip could be organised a bit better. We spent about an hour both ways at a small place for tea/coffee which was not required to be so long which took up 2 hours of the tour, and we had only 2 hours for ourselfs at pamukale and Hierapolis, which is not enough to cover the whole place, instead of stopping so long for coffee we could have one more hour at Pamukale.
Cappadocia was another beautiful place, just amazing. Had a nice guide there for both the days and shared a lot of information.
All the drivers were really amazing and drove us safely everywhere. The vehicles were comfortable as well. Hotels were good and the the ones at Izmir and Cappadocia were just amazing.

We love our trip! - We love our Turkey experience! The entire trip was well organized. As soon as it was booked, the tour operator TOUR ALTINKUM TRAVEL reached out to us for the details of our flights and, in a few days, we were sent our itinerary. From the airport pickups and hotel drop-offs, and booked flights to the different cities, everything was on time. There was even one time when the operator of the airport pickup did a video call to make sure that we were with the right driver. It made us feel very safe. We were very satisfied with the choice of hotels, especially the Efe Boutique Hotel in Kusadasi. The hotels were surrounded by places to eat and stores to visit by simply walking around the area. The tours were on time the tour guides were all very nice and very knowledgeable about the places that we visited. The restaurants where we had lunch (included in the package) were all good and the food was great! We would love to go back to Turkey, with great people, amazing food and wonderful places to visit. We highly recommend this tour.

The beauty and richness of Türkiye - One of the best tour experiences we had. The staff were excellent: friendly, responsive and kind.
Special shout out to our guide in Cappadocia, Umit Arslan who was an absolute star.

Do not use this company - I wouldn't do this trip. We had 4 different guides in the cities and only 1 (Ogun) was good. The logistics were not planned out well and we did a lot of unnecessary driving, one day we drove almost 5 hours. In addition we have small kids and they put their room on a different floor of the hotel, when I tried to contact them for help I did not get a response for 10 hours later. Your only contact is a what's app txt that has sparse information about the day. Another time I texted a question in the morning about the day's itinerary and didn't get a response for 3 hours. We had 3 domestic flights and had to check ourselves in online. It would have actually been quicker to drive than fly for one of these cities. One of the airlines was somewhat like a spirit or frontier and the tickets the company booked were not together, when mentioning that they didn't help or care. I feel half of our vacation was spent in an airport. Also the price quoted is false it is about an extra $1000 USD because entry to all the sites is not included. Lastly, the ad on TripAdvisor that we booked said there will never be more than 12 people on the tour, we had 14. I texted them about this and they said " We provide small group tours and sometimes number of participants can go up to 16 people" .
Bottom line. Don't use them, read the itinerary and set up yourself.
