    Itinerary was hectic (including four domestic flights) and attractions were widespread. It was very well planned, however, and a very complex interplay of various services (pickups, drop offs, guides, drivers, hotels, tours) worked in a very well coordinated manner.

    We went on the 8 day tour. The hotel in Istanbul was in a perfect location for a quick walk to all the sights. The tour was well organized, so we didn’t have to worry about luggage, transportation or schedules. Plenty of a variety of delicious tasting Turkish food. Guides were very knowledgeable. Fabulous trip that we will always remember.

    Amazing itinerary! Very happy with our choice. Services from Altinkum Travel were beyond expectations, thanks to Ms. Hatice, our tour guide, who had been so professional and caring. We also did appreciate the team “behind the scene” who, via WhatsApp, communicated daily with us all necessary infos during the trip. Very impressed by Altinkum Travel services ! We recommend this travel agency without hesitation.

    We had a wonderful adventure visiting 6 cities/towns/villages via plane and tour bus. All went to schedule, prompt and on time. The hotel selections were truly 1st. rate. Extremely comfortable and well located, though we did do our research on each hotel and selected which ones we preferred. Tour Radar is like a quarterback, putting the guides, the air / bus, the hotel reservations all together and extremely well coordinated.

    We highly recommend this tour. Good communication with daily updates. The company was easy to get ahold of via what’s app. They answered any questions we had quickly. They let us know pick up times, what to wear and any entry fees that needed to be paid the day before. They took a lot of the stress off of planning and organizing, and we feel that all the guides were fantastic, very friendly and, made sure we were all taken care of. I only wish there was a way to pay all the entry fees beforehand so that we didn’t need to carry as much cash.
