He provided great insights about cappadocia with interesting details. His humor provided much light and fun to the tour. Transitions from place to place were smooth, enough time was given in-between excursions. We also had breaks and stops to rest with beautiful scenery. Finally, could not recommend this tour enough.

She provided us very brief descriptions of locations we were traveling to. When I asked her a question, one of her response was ‘didn’t I tell this already?’”
