ALTINKUM TRAVEL made My visit to TURKEY memorable - I have been a solo traveler for years. I have traveled all over the world. Visiting TURKEY was a bucket list location and I am so happy I selected this touring company to make my dream come true. This has been the best touring company I’ve ever dealt with. From the smooth, pick up at the airport and transfer to the hotel, to the excellent hotel choices, and all the tour guides in different locations, they were on point and attentive, every step of the way. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and caring were spectacular.

Very good tour company for a large family - Kerem was point of contact. He did a fantastic job in arranging and putting together the tour for my family of 9, including my very elderly in-laws! We covered Istanbul, Kusadasi (Ephesus, Pamukkale) and Cappadocia. He was also able customize our itinerary according to our needs. All of us had a great time. It was, however, very hectic, but we had a good time. As for the hotels, we stayed in Celal Sultan In IST (bang in the middle of old IST), Ramada Suites in Kusadasi ( near the ocean front) and MDC Cave hotel in Cappadocia. The breakfast options in all these hotels was fantastic. We had an issue with MDC cave hotel in Cappadocia. Room # 407 had a water leak from the ceiling in the bedroom and when I complained about it to their office, they said they could not do anything about it. Apparently, it's an ongoing issue but unable to do anything about it. That was quite odd! I must mention about Ali, our tour guide in Istanbul, who was brilliant, very knowledgeable, extremely friendly and caring. He went out of his way to help everyone and was able to answer all our questions. Needless to say, he made it look like he was family. He had a very positive attitude and without doubt, the best tour guide we had on the tour. Our tour guide in Kusadasi was Bar - we found him to be average with a lil bit of an attitude and not very friendly. And then we had Tuba in Cappadocia, who was also very good, full of energy, had a pleasing personality, was friendly and was able to answer all our questions. That being said, when we started with Ali, the bar was set very high and we naturally tend to compare Ali with the other tour guides. Our airport transfers and tour vehicles were all good and came on time. The Hot air balloon (MUST DO) ride company in Cappadocia was also very good. The lunch options during the tour were all satisfactory. The airports in each of the places we stayed are approx 1 hr to the hotel. So keep this in mind when booking your flight tickets into and out of IST. Also to add, Kerem was always available on phone, whenever we needed some information/clarification, getting airport assistance for wheel chair, etc. Very pleasing person to deal with. So thank you Kerem! And finally, I decided to go with Tour Altinkum, purely based off reviews (no one recommended them to me). Well organized, had no issues and tours were on time!

Just perfect! - The tour was simply amazing. The tour company executed all the itineraries flawlessly. The company communicated with us daily basis regarding the following day’s itineraries. And any additional questions from us were answered in very timely manner. It seemed as if they knew what I was going to ask next. I didn’t have to worry about anything such as pick up, drop off including flight cancellations. All the hotels were nice and I felt very welcomed. Tour guides in Turkey were very courteous, knowledgeable and professional. Especially Erdi at Cappadocia. His home town was Urgup (Cappadocia) I felt his passion for love of his town when he was touring with our group. He also accommodated our needs after tour hours. I learned so much about the town. I will definitely recommend to my family and friends for future trips to Turkey.
