5.00This tour was a truly meaningful experience. Aysel, our guide, was very informative and made sure we understood the historical and biblical significance of each site. She also took great photos of us and gave us free time to explore on our own. Mozo, our driver, was respectful and very helpful throughout the trip. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00A fantastic experience! The three of us were transported between the sites in a private taxi along with our tour guide. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We stayed in the 3 star hotels and found them to be clean and comfortable. We can't wait to get back and do this tour again with our friends.
Simply amazing!

5.00Emre (guide) an Okan (driver) are a great team. Our tour was fantastic because of the team. Emre was very informative about the tours and Okan always arrived in a timely manner. You could also see the teamwork with the two of them to help us add on a tour or make changes accordingly. Okan may have not said much but his communication with the guide did not go un-noticed and the team help shape our trip entirely from departure to food choices to changes made along the journey. This has been a remarkable experience and we are grateful to have been assigned the dynamic doual 😀. Marcy & Dave
Fantastic once in a lifetime tour, one we have wanted to do for ages.

5.00Thank you Altinkum for a fantastic trip, we thorougly enjoyed ourselves. The guide, Mr Gurkan took time at every destination to read from the book of revelation for each ancient city and explain in detail about it and giving us time to take photos and explore. He was really efficient, and really knew all the history and details of each place. He explained and answered all our questions . The accomodation was brilliant especially the hotel in Pamukkale (shame it was only for one night!) He looked after us, made sure we were comfortable especially because of the heat wave! the food was really very good, I would highly recomend this tour because it is excellent value for money there is hotel p ick up and drop off and all is included. It was an unforgettable experience for us, we will never forget it. Going back in time, and getting a glimpse of how the people lived then. thanks so much..(plus we had the advantage of having the guide to ourselves we were the only ones on the tour)Wonderful experience.
