The tours were amazingly well organized and fun! Sechi(?), our Gallipoli guide was extremely knowledgeable and tailored our trip to take in both Anzac Cove and Cape Helles. All guides were enthusiastic - even after long days. Hotels were fine with the exception of Hotel Celal Sultan in Istanbul. I left a vest there. The guide called them, but was told they threw it away. I have another suspicion, and will post on TripAdvisor. This was not the fault of the guides. I recommend these tours highly!Show more

What does it say about a tour when you cry when it is time to say goodbye to your guide and driver? I can say with all my heart that there was not one thing that went wrong or was not to my satisfaction for the entire 7 days and 8 nights. Emre was the super perfect guide and Harkon the most courteous and careful driver. I must also make comment of the tour company, Tour Altinkum. Every time I contacted them, with perhaps a nervous silly question prior to the tour they responded within 1/2 an hour, day or night. I felt secure in their hands. I would be honoured for anyone considering doing this tour to contact me directly for a recommendation. Thank you so much to everyone involved.Show more

  Traveler•Written February 2025
  On day 8 of my guided tour, can you fly me from Izmir to Dalaman instead of Izmir to Istanbul, and provide a hotel there instead of in Istanbul? Would there be a price difference, if so?
- Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written February 2025
  There is no directly flights from Izmir to Dalaman, thats why we can arrange private transfer with high model vehicle from Kusadasi to Dalaman (it may takes up to 4h to reach dalaman from Kusadasi). You need to arrange your own accommodation in Dalaman. The program can be customized as you wished, day 8 transfer you to Dalaman and drop you of your hotel that will be arranged on your end.
