“We wanted to explore Turkey and were short on time, this was the best way we could have spent our time. Ahmad at ToursFlame put together a comprehensive itinerary with really good tours and great hotel and flight options, then followed up closely to ensure we had a perfectly coordinated experience. The balloon flight is not to be missed and the natural beauty of Cappadocia, Pamukkale and the well-preserved historic sites at Ephesus are amazing to see. This tour uses smaller groups and gives you a very relaxed and customized experience. Very highly recommended.”

We had a delicious lunch. After lunch however, we drove by some sites that were under repair. I felt like the tour was misleading and could have updated their schedule to include some other sites. The last part of the day, we went to…”

“Pamukkale Tour – Deeply Disappointing and Misleading We recently booked a multi-day tour through Viator, operated by Tour Altinkum (Tour Altruism). While the earlier portions (Ephesus, Kusadasi, Cappadocia) were well organized, the final day in Pamukkale was a complete failure and a clear case of false advertising. False Promotion of Cleopatra Pool We specifically chose this itinerary because it included the Cleopatra Pool, which is shown prominently in the booking photos and descriptions. When we arrived, we were shocked to discover the Cleopatra Pool has been closed for a long time—a fact that neither the agency nor the tour description disclosed. The disappointment of traveling from Kusad...”

The group is capped at 15, and guide Hacer earns special praise for her work in Ephesus and Pamukkale. A hot-air balloon ride is an optional upgrade.

“First, the pluses. Guides were generally good. Hacer, in Pamukkale and Ephesus, was outstanding. But was was the problem with this tour? First, there needs to be CLEAR, SPECIFIC, communication with the passengers regarding what to expect. Examples: We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the Istanbul airport. There was never any indication that a guide would NOT be with us. We were left at the airport by the driver and we had to fend for ourselves. It needs to be made clear that passengers will be ON THEIR OWN. Upon arriving at the airport serving Capadoccia, there were a number of drivers holding cards with first…”

“The sites are amazing but the tour was a disaster from the get go, with awful communication and terrible hotel accommodations (Hatit Hotel in Selcuk was worse than a hostel!). Provided food was ok although did not include drinks (not even water). I traveled with a friend and they booked our flights on different times which caused us to miss a whole hour of the first day of the tour, and mind you, that day the tour only lasted about 4 hs….. When we finally got to the first stop of the tour and met the rest of the group the van that drove us around did not have enough…”
