Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Ephesus 7 Day Package

All the trips were very well organized. Everything was in good timing. All trips were with good guides. They had very good knowledge of the area. They explained the site its history very well They were very professional.

Everything was well planned as per itinerary. Payment for Cappadocia balloon flights are extra/optional. There are other paid attractions, where you have to pay for entry fee. 7 days is definitely less to visit Turkey. 5 stars for the way Tour Altinkum has conducted the tour. From Airport transfers to visiting places, everything was planned perfectly.

I did the 7 day Magnificent Turkey Tour in Nov 2021, and had a wonderful time! The thing that really impressed me, and made a difference for me with this trip, was how flexible and customizable the itinerary is. The tour can start on any day because its not one group tour, but a bunch of independent day tours with transfers and accommodations between tours arranged and included. At the end of this tour, I was planning on spending two extra days in Istanbul, which the company arranged for me at minimal extra cost (there would have been no economic benefit to me in booking this separately on my own, especially since it still included the airport transfer on the last day). My first full day tour, however, was Hagia Sophia/ Grand Bazaar / Topkapı Palace / Hippodromes/ Blue Mosque in Istanbul. These places were very amazing and important to visit, but as a solo female traveler, I quickly discovered I did not like how hectic and chaotic Istanbul was--after a couple days, i decided I did not want to return to Istanbul, so Tour Altınkum help me arrange to stay in Izmir on my last two days instead (so much better for me!) at no extra cost, and still make it to my departure flight from Istanbul on time. All of the other tour sites and cities were amazing for me, however, and as described in the itinerary. I loved Cappadocia, Kusadası, Pamukkale, and Efes very much! The hotels (Recital in Istanbul, Heaven Cave in Cappadocia, and Efe Boutique in Kusadası) were all excellent, and all of the transfers and flights were so well coordinated with no flaws--the logistical organization blew my mind; I definitely would not have been able to coordinate so many tours and trips in the same amount of time on my own. I traveled solo, and the single supplement was not too much, but for a couple or a group, i cant believe what a deal this trip would be! I think travelling as a couple or group would be even better, because the one downside i experienced as a solo traveler (other than overwhelm by İstanbul!) was a bit of loneliness and boredom in the three evenings where i had flights after the tours--travelling with a friend or family will give you someone to laugh with and discuss your adventure with while you are in transit! The evenings in which i had free time were all fine, though, as there is much to explore--shops, restaurants, etc--around the hotels in the various cities. I would definitely recommend Tour Altinkum to anyone planning a visit to Turkey, especially if it is their first time or if they want to see as much as possible in a short amount of time! I would also recommend taking advantage of the ability to customize your tour, too. The company is so flexible, and I think maybe if I went again, I would like to spend extra days just to relax and rest in Cappadocia and Kusadası! Thank you, Tour Altınkum, i had a wonderful time in Turkey!
