The tour was a mix of independent organization which suits us quit well as we had time alone without tour obligations as well as the flights in between. The tours were always done independent in each place with totally different freelance tour guides and different travel companions. Tour guides were very different, some good others very indifferent. The transfers were of amazing quality, in excellent vehicles and drivers. The follow-up and contact with the agency was amazing and by whatsapp every day before the excursions. Their proficiency of English was outstanding and time of response of just minutes. Hotels were incredibly central and we reached the main attractions in minutes on foot. Some of the things that went not so good were, i guess, beyond their control, like the cancelling of the Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon. Overall a great experience with a nice final feeling of accomplishment.Show more

My friend and I had a wonderful 9 day adventure through Tour Altinkum. Pros: 1) I liked their communication and quick response through the What’s up app. They were super organized. They would send us the instructions a day early so we would know the times and places to meet and any special instructions, if needed. 2) The hotels and locations were great! 3). Some places food was excellent and others were good. 4) Our tour groups were all under 15 people and our local guides were very knowledgeable. Cons - 1)We were a party of 2, but when we got picked up, the driver or person in charge of our ride at the airport would only have one of our names. There was no party of 2 after the name and it was an issue 3 times. 2) Antalya City Tour - The Tunektepe has been out of order for a year and it sounds like it is not opening anytime soon. So they really need to change the itinerary to match what we did that day. They had us go on a boat ride instead. Also, there was supposed to be free time to walk around and shop before going back and there was none. 3) The Istanbul guide would walk way in front of the whole group. We had to ask him to stop a few times to wait for everyone to catch up. He rarely looked behind him to see if the group was close or far away. At one time, we lost my friend. He also didn’t have a lot of patience. All in all, we had a fantastic time. We would recommend them and use them again. The issues were minor and all are easy fixes. Thanks Tour Radar for setting us up with Tour Altinkum!Show more

This was a great semi-guided tour. How it worked is that Altinkum Travel set up hotels, flights, vans, transfers, and small group tours. However, we were not with a tour group. It all worked out well. PROs: 1. The hotels were fantastic. For example, in Istanbul we had a view of the Hagia Sofia from about a block away. We had a modern room carved out of a mountainside. We had a couple of sea-view rooms. All very nice. 2. My son accidently left a laptop computer in a van's seatback pocket. Altinkum went to great lengths to get it back to us. 3. Communications were via text in WhatsApp. We always were kept well informed of the next day's events and pick-up information. 4. Each day's tour operators were independent contractors, and were good quality. Some were better than others, of course. 5. Some of the tour was well off the beaten path for an American. In Antalya, there was plenty of English spoken, but rarely by native speakers. I consider this more of a pro than a con, personally. CONs: 1. Most days the tour operators would drag us through some business that would do a little presentation then try to get us to buy stuff in their "outlet". Sometimes these could be informative at first, but they got repetitive. We spent waaaay too much time in jewelry stores. 2. Since we spent only one day in Istanbul and there is so much to see there, the tour was long and grueling. I loved all we saw, but wow, it was a hard day!Show more
