A great trip and experience. Everything is thoughtful. I went from Vietnam and my sister from Germany came with me. The tour guide was enthusiastic and the driver was good. The accommodations are thoughtful, I received daily schedules and support from ALTINKUM TRAVEL TOUR via Whatsap. Thanks

Had a brilliant trip exploring a very small part of Turkey. The history is amazing and landscape stunning. We had a great guide and driver (Okan and Ali). Stayed in great hotels but the Fresco Cave Suites were just awesome as was Volkan who made our stay amazing, the breakfasts were the best we had and the ladies preparing and serving us were so kind. Seder/Seda and Kerem at Tour Altinkum Travel were terrific keeping us uptodate on flights etc and even checking is in for our internal flight when our transport was delayed. Replied straightaway to any queries we had, always felt they were there to help. Left Turkey with ceramics, quartz tiles, saffron, chrystal menthol and great memories. Rug is being shipped 😉

It was a well organised trip. Comfortable hotels & fabulous guide. We had Barboros, also known as Barb, for short, who was our guide from Cappadoccia - Antalya - Kusadasi. Very well versed with the history and more importantly was attentive to all our needs. Thanks Barb. Perhaps the tour company can include some cultural performances and dances as entertainment. This was lacking!
