Without a doubt, the best tour I’ve been in my life. Everything was perfect from start to end, with excellent communication from the tour agent throughout. They will guide you every step of the way, r (Read More)esponsive and courteous at every turn, which is very helpful for a first timer to Turkey. Our tour guide - Serkan and driver, Anas, were fantastic too. So knowledgeable and kind, they could answer any question we asked. Thank you so much for showing Turkish hospitality. Highly recommended for any first timers to Cappadocia, rest assured you will be taken care of and enjoy yourself if you choose this tour.

We had a great time in Cappadocia across a 2 day trip and I think a large part of that was the fact that we had a great mix of like-minded people in our group (just good luck!), and a very friendly an (Read More)d informative guide Ahmed. Despite the early morning wake ups it wasn’t too rushed, though we did return to Istanbul very tired! The hot air balloon ride was an absolute must. The accommodation at Solem Cave Suites was lovely with an amazing breakfast. Highly recommend this trip for a great stress-free trip to Cappadocia, the organisation was flawless and the communication was amazing.

Truly, the organization until the days of the trip were very well taken care of. The person I was in contact with made sure all was up to date and the flights, as well as lifts, were well organized. O (Read More)ur guides were nice and generally answered all the questions we had. The lifts went well and we were offered water and a small breakfast bag on arrival. Although aware of the schedule, I think the organization of time could be better taken into account. I understand that this is a group tour, of two days, and that people expect to see many things in that time frame, but it should be heavily mentioned that some things might not take place (the air balloon we were aware were heavily dependent on weather, so that was not an issue) and that time in each place is very limited. The Solem Cave Suite hotel’s rooms and the venue were very nice. The food at the restaurant was ok, I wouldn’t suggest the wine. In all, it was a good experience and I’m glad I got to see the beauty of Cappadocia.

The experience is extraordinary, the Spanish-speaking guides are great, the transfer vehicles are spacious and comfortable. The tour times are very adequate and the information is specific and perfect (Read More) at all times. It is worth doing this activity in a small group so that it is more familiar and preferably for 2 days. They managed everything for us from the moment we purchased the excursion (flights, check-ins, reminders of pick-up times, transfers, flight delays... they were aware of everything).
