Best of Turkey - 10 Days

Posted By : Y9824GHbarbaraw
I joined this tour led by Efe. We saw sooo much. Learned so much. And ate so much. It was very helpful to have the expertise of a native Turk to explain what we were seeing. Very grateful. Awesome group of fellow travelers as well. Thank you everyone!!

That was my first guided tour and it was great! The absolute highlight was the balloon ride, with perfect weather conditions. Our driver and our tour guide Efe did everything, to make our tour comfortable and interesting. We felt very welcome!
My friends I met from Australia and myself (from Germany) had a great time and lots of fun, thanks to Efe. He had an extensive knowledge of the places we visited, could answer all our questions and was very well organized. Efe was always very friendly and helpful, we couldn't ask for a better guide than him. We would love another tour with him and will definitely recommend him and Tour Altinkum Turkey to friends and family. Thanks a lot again to the good driver and Efe! You did a great job! Hello to everybody of our group, Renate

I had a wonderful experience on the hot air balloon at Kapadokya.

I also had an interesting and knowledgeable guide, Efe, who gave a very comprehensive history of the Goreme open air museum and underground cities.

We had an amazing time in Türkiye with Tour Altinkum. Our tour guide, Ali, provided insightful commentary through the tour. Our hotel accommodations were at older hotels - but location and service at each was outstanding. The Fresco Cave Hotel in Cappadocia was the must amazing hotel I have ever stayed at. Amazing!!! My daughter and I were overwhelmed by the beauty and historical significance of Türkiye. We enjoyed the group experience and it was great to have all the logistics handled. And we enjoyed the balance of structured touring and time on our own at each tour stop. We saw so much - and had some real once-in-a-lifetime experiences (like the sunrise hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia). I highly recommend.

Pamukkale with the Sacred Pools and the ancient city of Hierapolis is a must for any visitor to Anatolia. The city of Antalya along the Mediterranean Sea has a great vibe, good food and its Old Bazaar has some very interesting shops.
A special thanks to our professional guide Barboros Toperlak who went out his way to make this visit a holiday to remember!

It was the best decision to book this trip. We succeed to see all that we planned, the daily program was enough relaxing, enough time for everything, including free time.
Hati (our guide for the last & longest leg of the tour) and the driver were excellent, very professional, documented and enjoyable.
The balloon experience in Cappadocia was the cherry on top of the cake, I really appreciate that the agency made it finally possible for us, it was on my top 5 list since forever and I'm more than happy that we made it.
Overall a great experience and great tour, one of the best we had, thank you 🤗❤️

Had a great time on this tour that is both well organized and professionally conducted by the wondeful guides and drivers. A special "thank you" goes to Hatice who was out guide for 6 of the 10 days.

The agency was very accomodating and managed to find us spots for a ballon flight in our last morning in Cappadocia (flights had been cancelled on acount of weather the previous 2 days), and arrange for airport transfers after the end of the trip. They kept in touch with us throughout the tour via WhatsApp advising us daily about upcoming dresscode requirements and entrance fees.

I won't repeat the list of sights, suffice to say there is something for everyone, for both history and nature-lovers, and I got the chance to fulfill one of my all-time travel ambitions by visiting Pamukkale.

The smaller group size made it more personal and allowed us to have a say in how much time we needed at various locations. All hotels we stayed at are centrally located so we could easily explore on our own in the evenings.

Being a city girl through and through, I had several reservations about this trip, but I'm happy to have been wrong. I loved every single sight and activity that Tour Altinkum had planned for us, starting with the small group size, the guides' professional attitude, the time management that was largely left up to us, and every single meal and cultural activity they had planned for us.

I very much appreciated that the group activities ended at around 5pm, so that we weren't too tired to do some additional exploring on our own.

I especially appreciated Hatice's thoughtful organisation skills that led to less strenuous hikes during very hot days, or the warning about possible claustrophobia in some tighter places.

I don't generally enjoy group activities with strangers, especially when paired with cultural stuff, but I can honestly say that I loved every minute of the pottery and carpet weaving demonstrations. Especially with how little interest I had in either topic, before visiting the two workshops.

In conclusion: I cannot sing enough praises for this tour. Hands down I'd repeat this experience all over again.

This tour from Aktinkum was very well organised and well supported by their team. Our guide Barbaros [Barb] was very helpful and kept us informed of key location features. We are had great travellers in our tour and enjoyed ourselves.

Overall we enjoyed this tour very much though we missed out on our Balloon flight in Cappadocia due to unfavourable wind conditions.

Istanbul, Ephesus, Pammukale and Cappadocia are key highlight locations and have a lot to offer.
