    Hello Yizhen Thank you very much for your feedback. i would like to kindly inform you that, while we are doing these daily tours, the tour guides of the regions are trying to show the guests the products of the area which have been specialized for that region. (kusadasi, leather. kapadokya, seramics or carpet etc.) while they are doing that they are trying to give the people the chance to see or buy something special as a memory or souvenir from this country, with the encouragement of the government as all these tour guides are working under the authority of government. so by this way the visitors see and meet maybe the first time in their lifes with the authentic products of the regions. thats the main aim of it. but while they are doing that, they are not cutting any time at the expense of time of the historical sites. i hear and understand your complaint, but this is the way it works for all the regions and all tour guides of the areas and for all travel agents. we are making it sure that theres no hassles or pushes in those places for our customers to purchase anything. I would like to share my own experience about my travels to; 😇 -Holland (we did stop at the Dutch clogs store) -Egypt (we did stop at a Souvenir shop) İt was good to experience them, (I just bought small stuff according to my low budget - I was studying at that time) On the other hand, Its also sad and surprised us that you rated our service only based on the stores you visited during the tours. That would be also great to hear your feedback about guides, all transfers you had, accommodations, support team (updated your itinerary a couple of times according to your requests with all patients, shared daily information about your schedule, pick-up tımes and etc. While writing this comment here, we expected you to show some respect for the effort put into it. Have a great day

    Price / Availability

    Sam

    Asked on August 28th, 2026

    How much is single supplement. How much is hot air balloon flight?

    Single supplement
    Tour Details
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written August 2026

      As you will be 3 travelers, you may choose between the following room arrangements:

      1 Double Room + 1 Single Room
      Including 2-way domestic flight tickets:
      USD 3,195 total

    Gail

    Asked on August 14th, 2026

    I would like to book the 6-day tour for one person on the silver package but may need an extra night of accommodation either in Istanbul or Cappadocia. Is this possible and what would you recommend as the best way to do this to match the itinerary the best way?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written August 2026

      Of course, we can add extra nights in both places. Your first day is your arrival and hotel check-in day, and your last day is your departure transfer day, so we can arrange the additional accommodation according to your flight schedule.

      Regarding your departure flight at 01:40 AM on 12 October, your airport pick-up time will be approximately 21:40 on 11 October.

      As the standard hotel check-out time is around 12:00 noon on 11 October and a late check-out until the evening cannot be guaranteed, we recommend adding one extra night in Istanbul for 11 October.

      This way, you can follow the normal itinerary and keep your hotel room throughout the day on 11 October, allowing you to rest and use the room until your airport transfer at approximately 21:40.

      The extra accommodation rate is USD 140 per night for a single room, including breakfast.

  • K

    Kristin

    Asked on December 14th, 2025

    Would you pick us up from IST or must we go to SAW for pickup? Also, we would like to exchange the return flight from Cappadocia to Istanbul for a flight from Cappadocia to Antalya. Would that be possible?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written December 2025

      There are 2 airports in Istanbul (IST and SAW) and we provide transfer from both of these airports. No worries. You can arrive anytime during the day since there is no activity on day 1. That would be possible to change your flight from Cappadocia to Antalya, instead of Istanbul.

    Flights / Transfers

      The first day will be your arrival and airport transfer day, and we will arrange your transfer accordingly.

    Shirley

    Asked on November 2nd, 2025

    We (2 persons) are interested in the 6 day tour from 12May till 17 May. These are our questions: 1) not sure if you have minimum no, is this tour guaranteed? 2) on day 3, how much time do I have for the Bosphorus cruise & Spice Markets? How much does it cost? 3) on day 3, what time is the flight to Cappadocia?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Tour Altinkum TravelOperator•Written November 2025

      This is a guaranteed departure tour, so you may book for any available dates. The Bosphorus Cruise & Spice Market Tour is an optional half-day tour and not included in the main package. The Bosphorus cruise lasts about 1–1.5 hours, followed by a visit to the Spice Bazaar. The price is 55 Euros per person. Depending on your flight schedule: If you would like to join the half-day tour, we can arrange your flight for late afternoon or evening. If you prefer not to join the optional tour, your flight can be scheduled around noon instead. As you will have another tour on Day 5 in Cappadocia, your return flight from Cappadocia to Istanbul will be in the evening.
