Amazing tour guide Ezre

Published on May, 2024

We did the red city tour and it was a wonderful experience. We had a private guide called Ezre (sorry if I have spelt this wrong). He was so accommodating and helpful! Very informative. He adjusted the tour based on our preference. I would highly recommend him and ask for Ezre!

If you have limited time in Turkey, great way to see Cappadocia from Istanbul.

Published on Dec, 2023

We had only a few days before catching a cruise from Istanbul. With an interest in the natural geology of the Cappadocia, we took a chance on this single-day tour to Cappadocia from Istanbul. Flew early from Istanbul to Kayseri and were promptly picked up by a comfortable van and driven to the Cappadocia area. A knowledgeable guide joined us from Cappadocia and took us around for 6-7 hours covering the most important sites in the Cappadocia region. Highlights were Underground City, various photogenic spots, hikes, and the Ceramic workshop-museum, and ended with a great early dinner. Both Driver and guide were well aware of return flight times and handled sightseeing as such. The balloon ride was not in the planning as it requires a minimum of 2-3 nights (Early morning weather-dependent activity).

Amazing experience and a must-do if you are in Istanbul for a shorter vacation!

Published on Aug, 2023

Be ready for a long day of fun and adventure! If you are in Istanbul for a few days and you have not been to Cappadocia this is definitely a tour you should do. I went on this tour with my girlfriend and our day started with a 4 AM pickup from our hotel in Istanbul and we were dropped off back at our hotel at around 11 PM. It covers all the major attractions in Cappadocia and includes a delicious lunch. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the region.

Unique Sights with Great Guide

Published on Jul, 2023

Saw lots of historical places and some beautiful country. My wife and I had never been to Turkey and didn't know what to expect. We are so glad that we made this trip to this part of Turkey. Would recommend to my friends.

Beautiful scenery and friendly people

Published on Jun, 2023

Cappadocia was unbelievable! We didn’t know exactly what to expect going into it but we were blown away by the sights and unique history of the area. Our guide Gökay was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw as much as possible even though our tour had a shorter timeframe than the typical Cappadocia experience. We definitely wish we had stayed there one or two nights to soak it all in rather than a day trip but it was still great.
