Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this tour. For the high price we paid, I expected more than just a single photo stop before heading back. We’ve done longer mixed tours for much less. The guide did a great job explaining the valley and kept the group engaged, but it felt disrespectful when the camel handler demanded a tip after such an expensive experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed the camel ride the entire experience was seamless, from transportation to the actual tour. Our guide was exceptionally friendly and captured plenty of great photos for us. However, since our sunset tour took place earlier in the afternoon (around 4-5 PM), we missed out on witnessing the actual sunset, which was disappointing.

The camel ride itself was delightful, offering a peaceful journey through the stunning Red Valley. However, the transportation to and from the hotel was less enjoyable the driver appeared hurried behind the wheel, which made me uncomfortable at times.

My first camel ride turned out to be an unexpectedly elegant way to enjoy Cappadocia's breathtaking landscapes. The staff helped create lasting memories by taking beautiful souvenir photos at our turnaround point. While the experience itself was magical, I felt the premium price nearly double what I'd seen elsewhere kept it from being a full five star value.

Our private tour with just four people turned out to be truly memorable. The guide captured incredible shots of us with the hot air balloons floating in the background these photos became our favorite souvenirs. While he made an effort to share information in English, there were some language barriers. The 90 minute ride did get slightly uncomfortable after a while, but the overall experience remained pleasant and unique.
