ALKANS TOUR

We are not Turkish and very lucky to have Sabahattin to organise our tour, after having some difficulties in communication with other local agencies for a private tour for foreigners. Sabahattin is great at communication in English and always reply/made adjustments for our needs at his earliest convenience. The price of the tour was fair and he always try his best to have best deal for us. The English guide, Haves, was knowledgeable and spoke English fluently(he is also an English part time teacher). I highly recommend Alkan tours and would use his services again without question.

I found Eastern Turkey Tours / Alkans Tour Travel Agency through a google search. I found good reviews of them and am so glad I chose them. At first I was going to just use them for the eastern portion of our 3-week Turkey trip, but then decided to use them for the whole trip. I was not let down.Sabahattin Alkan, the Managing Director, put everything together for us. He was completely flexible, catering to exactly what we wanted. In some places, he sourced us a driver and a guide, sometimes just a guide. He put a nice itinerary together based on our needs and then coordinated everything for us. He was great at communicating and making sure we were taken care of each step of the way. It truly was a private tour set up with his help and advice, and the cost we very reasonable. He was also open when we made adjustments. I highly recommend Sabahattin and would use his services again without question.The guides and drivers that Sabahattin hired for us were all exceptional and catered to us very well. They were all highly knowledgable and did not try to see us on tourist traps. We even noticed that a couple of the guides were mentioned in our Lonely Planet book. He only used the best ones.
