      We want to go to Ankara and visit the Anitkabir mausoleum with the group, then go (on our own) to the Museum of Anatolian cultures and then fly back to Istanbul in the late afternoon. We would arrange our own transportation from the Istanbul airport to the hotel. Is this possible? Also we are considering staying an extra day in Istanbul. Please let me know what an approximate cost would be for the extra day.

      We can book Ankara 17:00 - Istanbul 18:15 flight or Ankara 18:00 - Istanbul 19:20. Per person - USD 80. After visiting Anitkabir, your guide will help you find a taxi if you'd like and then you will make your own arrangements both in Ankara and in Istanbul upon arrival. For the extra night at Burdock Hotel - 1 double room for 2 people including breakfast - USD 230.
