I spent two truly unforgettable days in Cappadocia. Like a child, I was captivated by the breathtaking beauty of places you won't find anywhere else: the underground city, cave houses, fairy chimneys, and more. On the second morning, we watched the hot air balloons take off at sunrise; it was unforgettable. These two days wouldn't have been so wonderful without our guide. His deep knowledge and obvious passion for the region truly stood out. He was always cheerful, attentive, and ready to help. Since my friend and I were the only French speakers in the group, and the commentary was in English, Ibrahim graciously wrote the French translation for us.

Overall, this was a well organized and enjoyable short getaway. We took plenty of breaks along the way, including a stop at a good restaurant with a simple menu; eating was entirely optional. Similarly, there was no pressure to buy anything from the shops we visited. I wish we had had a little more time at some places, like Uchisar Castle. The accommodation exceeded our expectations, and our guide and I had plenty of pleasant conversation during the breaks. Our bus driver was also very friendly. Any additional costs were clearly and transparently explained from the start. It's a reasonably priced trip that I can highly recommend. Our entire group was very pleased.

The guide, a local woman from Türkiye, shared little information about the sites and didn't communicate well with English speaking travelers. The tour itself was quite disorganized. Several of us had booked cave rooms at the Cappadocia Hotel, but because the hotel was overbooked, we were reassigned to a lower quality hotel. Several guests, including me, had to turn around and relocate. While they eventually resolved the issue, this caused unnecessary delays and stress, and the guides were less than supportive throughout the process. Furthermore, the itinerary was quite limited; most of the excursions only took place on the first day. Despite being told to be ready at 8:30 AM, the guides arrived late.
Helpful? Yes
Very disappointing experience. The itinerary for the first day wasn’t fully followed, and instead, it was stretched into the second day while the planned visits for day two were skipped entirely. Each attraction was rushed, often limited to just 30 minutes, while unlimited time was given at souvenir shops, clearly to encourage spending.The cave hotel itself was decent, with clean rooms and comfortable beds. However, not being offered complimentary tea at breakfast was a letdown. I also advise against ordering anything in the hotel’s restaurant. The prices were unreasonably high, there was no menu, and no one could explain the costs.While the guides were generally polite and friendly, their main focus seemed to be upselling extra activities.On the return journey, after transferring to a smaller bus, things got even worse. Four of us were crammed into the front seat because the organizer didn’t properly count the passengers, and the driver had even brought his child along.Overall, I would not recommend this trip.
Helpful? Yes
If you really want to experience Cappadocia, I wouldn't recommend booking this tour. Although we expected a long bus ride, we didn't anticipate spending the better part of two days on it. The so-called "cave hotel" was modern and stylish, but it didn't resemble a cave at all. The time spent at the actual sights in Cappadocia was extremely limited, typically only 10-20 minutes for quick photo stops, leaving no opportunity to relax or enjoy the scenery. In contrast, we took much longer breaks at shops selling pottery, which, according to the organizers, seemed more important than the main attractions. Both days were rushed and stressful. Even after the early morning hot air balloon ride, we were only given 40 minutes to go to breakfast, eat, and pack our bags a bit of a hassle, especially if your B&B stays are in different hotels. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this experience. It would have been much better to organize your own travel or fly direct.
Helpful? Yes
Cappadocia itself is magnificent, and our guide was kind and pleasant. However, I had booked an English speaking tour, but ended up with a tour that spoke both English and Russian, and I didn't really enjoy it. The main bus was quite old and lacked air conditioning, making the journey uncomfortable. Much of the tour seemed focused on selling extra activities, which was disappointing. We had to change buses five times over two days, and each transfer resulted in delays and major confusion.
Helpful? Yes
The whole experience felt rushed, with people constantly rushing from place to place; most stops were focused on shopping rather than sightseeing. The ceramics and jewelry stops weren't actual workshops, just shops, and we spent about 30 minutes at each without seeing anything meaningful. The hot air balloon tour wasn't included, and the name is misleading because the cave style hotel, the silver balloon flight, and all the other amenities cost extra. The guide's English was poor, and even though I'm bilingual, I struggled to understand what was being said. We barely had time to enjoy the actual sights and had no free time at all. The included meal was, unfortunately, terrible.
Helpful? Yes
The tour felt very rushed, and unfortunately, we didn't get to see the hot air balloons. The natural beauty of Cappadocia was stunning, and I was happy to be able to explore a different part of Türkiye, but the busy schedule left little time to enjoy the sights. I spent most of my time taking long breaks and shopping trips, which I would have happily traded for more time at the actual tourist attractions. There were also unexpected additional expenses along the way that weren't announced in advance. However, our guide did a great job, and the driver was absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately, the lack of proper time management and the weather conditions meant we missed the balloon ride, which made the overall experience a bit disappointing.
