Balkans Luxury Tours 2024/2025

“Well organised. Some hotels and meals were hit and miss, but overall excellent. The guide, driver, choice of activities. I must say though, the Anzac visit could be eliminated. The highlight was the optional balloon rides in the two locations. The group composed mainly of mature individuals and we all got on very well. The tour is highly recommended and hats off to Levent with his extensive knowledge.”

“Sedef and her team did an amazing job organizing our 8 day tour. From the time of booking to our very last flight, there was great communication via WhatsApp and everything ran smoothly. Reza, Emre, and Hatti are absolutely wonderful tour guidesƒgreat English, full of passion, and very accommodating. The tours do involve a lot of walking but even in July heat, it was not too rigorous. The tour guides made sure to find shady spots for us and lots of water breaks. Meals provided during lunch were delicious. The shuttles vans that took us around were very comfortable and had outlets and ac. We choose to pay extra for the hot air balloon ride on Capadocia and it was fantastic. Sedef made arrangements and a local company picked us up from our hotel room at 4 am. The driver had nice goody bags filled with fruit, snacks, and water. After the hot ballon ride, the pilots and their crew all served non alcoholic champagne in honor of the soft landing. Totally great touch. We got back to our cave hotel by 7 am, which gave us time to take a quick nap and breakfast before our next tour. This was honesty a great tour of the high lights of Turkey. Small group, we loved our guides, and made friends with fellow tourists. Thank you again Tour Altinkum and special shout out to Sedef for going above and beyond.”

“Tour was very well organized and executed, Kerem and Sevde were very responsive and wonderful to work with. Incredibly easy to book. We really appreciated the daily WhatsApp update once the tour started, reminding us of the next day schedule with link to tickets. Airport pick up and drop off worked very well. The tour in essence preserves the independent traveler freedom / feel for us, while taking care of the local logistics. All local tours were small groups, around 10 or less in a comfortable van. Cappadocia tour guides were both fantastic, which together with hot air balloon ride were the high lights of this tour. Ephesus was interesting. I had high hopes for pamukkale but the day was brutally hot, the terrace pool was not shaded, and we only had a couple of hours there in early afternoon during the hottest part of the day. On retrospect, we should probably have stayed overnight there. Istanbul is beyond words, be prepared for culture shock. full-day tour guide, Ali, was awesome, a great story teller that brings things alive for us. All breakfast at hotels were good. Hotels are clean, well located, and each unique in their own way. A la Cart lunch were high quality, we are not fans of buffet lunches but selections were large. I was concerned about turkey domestic flights which turned out to be unnecessary, as three domestic flights were comfortable, and largely on time. IIm glad we chose to fly instead of long distance bus. There was a minor hiccup for the last day hotel, which was caught and fixed by Sevde, before it became a problem.”
