Pamukkale Tours in Summer

We are happy with everything from picking us up from the airport, booking the hotels, food service, taking us to the sites and introducing them, and finally taking us to the airport. Thank you!

Great trip which started in Istanbul, we had two different guides on day 1 and day 2. The first one was nice but didn’t introduce himself to us, which was a disappointment we walked and picked up others along the way to Topkapi Palace, which was extremely busy as our guide said two cruise ships were in port, which made the queues long (including toilets) and we didn’t have time to see everything. Second guide was excellent, Adul (sorry may be wrong) very informative with maps to explain our trip along the Boshporus, guided us through spice bazaar and how to use the team. After our flight to Kayseri we were warmly greeted by our driver Okan (also our disc jockey) and guide Ali, who were both friendly and knowledgeable on what we were seeing and answering our questions. We were a group of four and we had the mini bus to ourselves so felt very personal. Had a bit of trouble with mini bus which was sorted out overnight, Okan and Ali had much longer days than us ⭐️ This was our first tour to Turkey which gave us a very small glimpse of the country. All hotels were excellent but the Fresco Cave Suites were amazing, we were upgraded which included our own sauna room, lovely friendly staff and amazing breakfast, thank you Volkan. We would recommend this tour and want to see more of Turkey. We were four women travelling and felt safe and respected wherever we went.

Glories of Türkiye 15 day tour This small group (in our case just 8 people) tour was excellent and provided a perfect introduction to this country. The first thing that stands out is how clean everywhere is. Not so much as a candy wrapper anywhere, city streets or country by-ways. The Turks are hospitable, polite and friendly people, eager to please everywhere you go. English is spoken in many places and commnication is never a problem. Our escort and guide, Fatih, was both knowledgeable and informative about the many sights; but also thoughtful and concerned for the well-being of his group members. Highly organized and experienced, he had everything under control. Our fellow travelers were all delightful company. Istanbul is a vibrant city with a history dating back thousands of years. Divided by the Bosphorous, it is both in Europe and in Asia. The Kadikoy district, on the Asian side, is not part of the tour but should be. If possible try to spend a couple of additional days there. The ancient sites are all interesting and cover thousands of years of history, including Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and many associated with biblical writings. This is also a good opportunity for non Muslims to learn about the Islamic faith. Dining was always a pleasure. Although the Turkish population is almost entirely of the Muslim faith, it is politically secular. As a result, alcoholic beverages are widely but not universally available. Tap water is generally avoided, but bottled water is available everywhere. Prices in stores and dining establishments were significantly cheaper than Europe or North America. There was no sense anywhere of a threat to personal safety. Indeed we saw no signs of homelessness or drug or alcohol abuse or criminality. Toilets were clean and fresh everywhere. In summary, Turkey was a wonderful vacation experience, and the Glories of Türkiye 15 day tour met and exceeded our expectations.

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.

I remember that in June 2022, before embarking on a trip to Turkey, we heard from several people who said that Turkey was a dangerous and poor country, among other things. At the end of our two week trip, we can say that not only did we NOT have a single bad experience, but it was also one of our best trips we have done so far and one that we will never forget. Turkish cuisine is fantastic. We love Mediterranean food, so during the two weeks of travel, we really enjoyed the different flavors and aromas. The trip, the places and natural landscapes were truly a dream. But the best thing was choosing this travel operator, since they spoiled us a lot and this made a big difference in the quality of our trip. Suzane and Alican provided us with 5 star service. On this trip we were accompanied by our 13-year-old daughter Paulina, a teenager who had a very happy, entertaining and amazed time at all the places we had the opportunity to visit. We highly recommend Turkey to get to know it on an extended trip of 2 or more weeks. We are sure you will fall in love!!!

Highly recommended this tour agent. Did the Istanbul-Pammukale-Ephesus-Cappadocia tour and it was great! Tour booking process was easy/simple. Very clear itinerary. Pick up time was on point. Comfortable shuttles with AC. Communication with the agent was amazing!- available via WhatsApp throughout and they'd update you daily with the next day's itinerary. Tour guides were amazing! Very knowledgeable. They would also give advice on where to take the best photos + where to get the best deals for goods/gifts. Toured various local businesses daily (not part of the itinerary but a free complimentary tour when time allowed) and they all sold very nice, affordable items! Did the trip solo but made friends along the way- with other tourists doing the same tour on that day. Hotels were good with good breakfast options (although if you are lactose intolerance or celiac, options might be limited). Lunch was mainly buffet style- good range of options. Desserts were amazing! Really enjoyed my trip!
