“I only gave this tour 4 stars because Cappadocia was a magical place and enjoyed the tour a lot. However, there were issues with the guides and the driver. Our guide Murat seemed like a nice and professional person at the beginning. Yet, I kinda felt like his time management for this tour was terrible. For example, he gave us 20 minutes to explore the imagination valley and after 15 minutes I saw our driver started the bus and moved it to the road from the parking. Few minutes later he started honk the horn and Murat was screaming for the people to come back. On the opposite side, they…”

Only thing is that we were left to find for ourselves at the end of both days, day 1 - with no real information or guidance on what was around town to explore. Some of us winged it, others missed out. Some information about the end of the day plans / ideas of what to do would be handy. Day 2 - also 2 hours waiting at the hotel on the last…”

We were left at the hotel for 3-4 hours to wait for the Shuttle bus to take us to the airport. It would be better for the tour to ether book us an earlier flight or fill the gaps with more activities. I would recommend this experience to my friend with some reservations.”

“The tour was very nice. We stopped at 9:30 am for “refreshments” on the way, however, we got to a little seaside town for lunch only about 1.5 hrs later. No one was hungry for lunch, a lot of food went to waste. The provided lunch was pretty good, I had the vegan selection. The first afternoon was Gallipoi, which was rather fascinating being an American. We did not learn much about WWI in school, but going to this location was a unique experience. Many of our co-travelers were Australian or New Zealanders and we learned the significance of this location for them. We returned to the seaside town to…”
