    An excellent itinerary for a relatively short trip. I think Turkey has more to offer. Perhaps instead of 1 day, you could do 2 days in Istanbul.

    We had a fantastic time in Turkey. The tour operator, Altinkum, was the best choice. They went above and beyond to make our trip smooth and enjoyable. With the flight delayed, pick up from the airport was all messed up, but they picked us up when the flight arrived. I had missing luggage, and the guide, Metin, helped me so it could reach the next destination since we were leaving Istanbul. Our group was very fussy eating lunch, and they accommodated us. We couldn't have asked for a better tour operator and a guide. I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, tour Altinkum for an excellent service.

    The last day/night was a nightmare due to hotel location. Flight from cappadocia arrived at midnight and our flight the next day to LA was at 6 am. Had to stay all the way in old Istanbul and was picked up at 2 am. Last night should be booked closer to airport.

    We'd like to thank Tahsin and all our drivers for making this tour one to remember. Turkey is a beautiful country and these guys made everything work smoothly. Tahsin stuck with us through thick and thin, was always there for us and made us feel so welcome and part of the Turkish culture. Thanks again!

    We had a 7 night/8 day private tour through Turkey in January 2022, starting and ending in Istanbul, and it was absolutely amazing! From the WWI memorials in Gallipoli, to the impressive ancient Roman cities of Troy, Pergamon, Ephesus and Hierapolis, followed by the beautiful pools of Pamukkale, the large tombs of Rumi in Konya and Atatürk in Ankara, and the magical landscape of Cappadocia. All these sights were very impressive, with a lot of variety in setting and background, and some nice surprises. In just one week we traveled back through centuries of history. And Turkey is a beautiful country, perhaps even more when most of it is covered by a thick blanket of snow. The two of us were taken around by guide Metin and driver Emin and both did a fabulous job. Metin was able to tell us many fascinating stories at the various sights, and gave us plenty of time to explore. He also brought us to various local eateries for some delicious and varied Turkish food. Emin was a friendly driver who drove us safely from one place to the other, even when we had to face quite some snow along the road. Also kudos to Kerem through whom we booked our trip, with swift and clear replies to our questions. The hotels we stayed in (ranging between 3 and 5 stars) were good as well. And with the tour being private, we were more flexible than with a standard package, and always felt safe in these times of COVID-19. Do expect to be on the road for quite some hours though, as Turkey is a big country. But don’t let that put you off from visiting, and definitely consider Tour Altinkum because of their professionalism and perfect service!

    I worked with Kerem on creating a custom itinerary for my trip to Turkey this past fall. He was able to pull together flights, transfers, accommodation, tours, visits, meals and exclusive visits based on my preferences, allowing me to spend time on other things. The tour guides were very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. I got sick one day and my guide took me to the hospital and stayed with me the entire time and was so concerned. Just goes to show the caliber of people they hire. The hotels they selected for me were very comfortable, clean and you can tell they take pride in their selections. The best thing about it is they're affordable. I have told several friends about using their services. Highly recommend them. They're trusted and professional! Thanks Kerem for putting up with my million emails/questions and always being so patient and responsive.
