    Asked on February 7th, 2026

    Do you have a fully guided tour of Istanbul then Pamukkale, Ephesus and Cappadocia from May 2-6?

    Tour Details
    • E

      Eileen

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      Can you pick us up at our hotel on May 2nd for the whole day Istanbul tour with Bosporus cruise if possible and Grand Bazaar? Then pick us up on May 3rd to continue with Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Ephesus tour then back to Istanbul Airport on May 6th evening.

    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten February 2026

      For the 02–06 May dates, a 5-day program would unfortunately not be sufficient to comfortably cover Istanbul, Ephesus, Pamukkale, and Cappadocia. It would be very rushed and tiring. For this time frame, we recommend one of the following options: Istanbul + Pamukkale + Ephesus, OR Istanbul + Cappadocia. Our combined Istanbul, Pamukkale, Ephesus, and Cappadocia programs require a minimum of 7 days / 6 nights to ensure a relaxed and enjoyable experience.

    Travel Support
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten December 2025

      May I kindly ask if you have a total of 4 days, or if you are able to add a few more days to your trip? This package currently includes only Istanbul and Cappadocia. However, if you have additional time, we can extend the program to include Ephesus and Pamukkale at the end of the tour.

    Tour Details
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten October 2025

      Silver & Gold Packages: The tour offers two hotel categories with different prices — Silver and Gold packages. You can select your preferred package on the platform when making your reservation. Accommodation Details: Silver Package Hotels: 3 nights in Cappadocia at Melekler Evi Cave Hotel or a similar property. Gold Package Hotels: 3 nights in Cappadocia at Dere Suites or a similar property. Upgrade to our Gold Package Hotels for an additional $150 per person (in a double room). All rooms include a private bathroom in both packages. Most hotels in Cappadocia are cave-style properties, not modern buildings, so elevators are not available, and stairs are common. Hot Air Balloon: The hot air balloon flight costs 250 USD per person, including hotel pick-up and drop-off, for August 2026.

  • S

    Shane

    Asked on September 18th, 2025

    We are travelling from Europe to Australia in November and have a stop over in Istanbul. We have been lucky enough to have already visited Turkey but did not get to Cappadocia. As we will be at the airport, would it be possible to join the tour at the airport in Istanbul and finish to tour back at the airport? We would not require hotel transfers. If this is satisfactory could you please let us know the cost.

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten September 2025

      Sure, it is possible. Would you like to stay 3 nights in Cappadocia? In that case, the first day would be your arrival day, the second and third days would be your tour days, and the fourth day would be your departure day. Your flights will be from and to Istanbul Airport. We will provide accommodation, tours, and airport transfers, while domestic flight tickets are not included in the package. You can book your Istanbul–Kayseri flights on your own for this package.

    Can you do a Quad room for this one, children are 7 & 9

    Accommodation
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten August 2025

      Sure, we can arrange a hotel with a quad room. After you make the reservation, you may mention this request. As it will be an early booking, I believe we will be able to secure availability for the quad rooms.

  • C

    Clare

    Asked on July 14th, 2025

    Since the tour starts on day 1, how early does our flight have to arrive there? We are coming from san Francisco and there is only 1 flight that would arrive 11:45m. Alternatively, we can come 1 day earlier and will arrive 5:45pm but the tour probably won't start that late so do we lose the benefit we paid for for transportation from airport to tour location?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      The pick-up time for Day 1 of the Treasures of Istanbul tour is around 9:00 AM, and we will drive you to the airport at the end of the tour. Therefore, we recommend that you arrive one day earlier and arrange your hotel in Istanbul in advance. Please note that we do not provide airport pick-up on the first day of this package. We offer pick-up only from centrally located hotels in the Sultanahmet, Taksim, or Karaköy areas. You may choose to book a hotel in one of these neighborhoods for convenience.

    • C

      Clare

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      The tour said optional hot air balloon ride which is something we want to do but I don't see it on the itiniery. What day would that be?

    • C

      Clare

      TravelerWritten July 2025

      Also, how do we know what time our flight from istanbul to cappadocia is? Will we get to choose if the tour is booked or thats something that you arrange for us?

    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten July 2025

      The hot air balloon flight can be added on the 2nd or 3rd morning of your itinerary. The price varies depending on the season, so please let us know your expected travel dates, and we'll be happy to provide the exact rate. Since it is a sunrise flight, it will not affect your daily tour schedule. We will arrange your domestic flight tickets. On your first day, after the Istanbul tour, we typically use flight TK2022, which departs at 20:05 (IST) and arrives at 21:40 (ASR). For your last day: day 04th - we are flexible — you may choose a morning, noon, or evening flight back to Istanbul depending on your schedule, and we will arrange the flights accordingly.

      TravelerWritten July 2025

    Tour Details
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten June 2025

      Sure, we can arrange a hot air balloon ride as an optional extra. The price is $300 USD per person, including hotel pick-up and drop-off, for flights in September. Once you complete your reservation, feel free to let us know if you'd like to book the balloon ride. As it is a sunrise flight, it will not affect your tour schedule for the day.

  • R

    Ray

    Asked on April 19th, 2025

    Could you please describe when we returning into Istanbul 11 may to Airport? I am going to book tickets from Istanbul immediately and which airport we arriving to from Cappadocia?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten April 2025

      We generally use flight TK2015, which departs from Kayseri (ASR) at 13:20 and arrives in Istanbul (IST) at 14:55 for the return leg. However, if that flight is fully booked, we reserve seats on alternative flights, which may be scheduled for later in the afternoon. Therefore, I cannot guarantee the exact flight time in advance. We will confirm your flight details as soon as possible after your booking is finalized. For this reason, I recommend waiting to book any onward flights from Istanbul until we confirm your Cappadocia–Istanbul flight. Please also note that we generally use Kayseri Airport (ASR) for departures from Cappadocia.

    Asked on March 29th, 2025

    do i book hotel in istanbul one night before the tour and one night after? during the first day meet-up, do i check out from the hotel and meet the tour guide with my luggage for the whole trip or what?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperatorWritten March 2025

      On the first day of the tour, we will pick you up from your hotel and begin the tour. After the tour, we will drive you to Istanbul Airport for your domestic flight to Cappadocia. Please note that you will need to check out in the morning and bring your luggage with you. On the last day of the tour, we provide only airport transfer service and flight ticket. If you require accommodation in Istanbul, you will need to arrange your hotel separately. Istanbul accommodation is not included in this tour package, so you will need to book it yourself.
