JA
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.

The overall tour was good, all the transfers and domestic flights on time and guides were knowledgeable.

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!

Several very good guides. Excellent Istanbul & Capadoccia guides. Almost always timely pickups/transfers. 1 snafu/problem in Kusadasi where we almost missed Samos ferry because of it. 2 hotel elevators not working. Excellent WhatsApp use and confirmation of daily details (except Kusadasi issue). All staff very welcoming and kind.
