We are so happy with this tour! Especially because we had an amazing guide that taught patiently many details about the history of this beautiful land! He took care of the needs of the group and was very respectful and friendly at the same time. The food was very good, and now we have a more global perspective than when we walked by ourselves. I totally recommend this tour with Bayram. Thank you Cappadocia, and thank you Bayram.
The mix tour is great, as it allows you to visit the other underground city, Kaymakli. All admission fees are included with this tour, when you book the complete version. The full tour takes approximately 6/7 hours and never feels crowded, as groups are pretty small! Bayram, our guide, was just amazing. Very nice, always careful that everyone was feeling good (Cappadocia in August is very hot!) and provided us with very insightful explanation about the history and the culture of the region and of the places we visited. If you are visiting Cappadocia, with your partner, solo or with your family, be sure to book a tour with Bayram!
We had a lovely experience going on the mixed tour. Our guide Bayram was structured, informed and funny. An excellent guide. We had a wonderful day 10/10 tour.
Elif was the most amazing guide ever. Made the tour so interesting and constantly provided amazing history behind the beautiful sights we were able to see. Great value for money, if you are trying to see the highlights in a short time. If you go book, hopefully you get Elif because she was the BEST.
You can not go wrong booking this tour and getting this guide. You will get to see most everything that Cappadocia has to offer. All the stops were explained short and sweet the right amount of information and enough free time to explore. Pick up's and drop offs lunch everything was easy. Special mention for.our guide Elif she has a special charm about her that made everyone on the tour feel comfortable and almost leave as friends. Her knowledge is top tier her humor excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and I do not like these types of tours.
Booked the mixed tour and it was the best possible expedience. The underground city, deveral valleys to visit, meeting a few locals etc. everything was perfect! Our guide Alif was amazing ! She was such a joy to deal with. Very informative & happily answered all the questions we had. Would highly recommend this tour !
It was a very good experience. Pick up was on time and we spent enough time by each spot. Bayram explained about the significance and history of each spot in detail. It was very interesting to learn about the history of these places. It was very hot and it was very considerate of the tour management to have water available in the van throughout the tour. Lunch was also incredible. The buffet was held at a very upscale restaurant and there were a variety of options which was very helpful for people with dietary needs. It was a long day but worth every cent. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Bayram did a great job answering any questions. Totally worth it.
What an amazing experience! About 8 jam packed hours that take you to all the can’t miss sights of Cappadocia. With hotel pick up and drop off, lunch and all entry fees included, the value is hard to believe. Our tour guide, Bayram, was so knowledgeable and kind, he made this experience unforgettable.
Had a great day with Elif, Thumps up. We were a family of 4 (2x kids) Elif make sure to keep kids entertained and involved. Amazing drive and Elif made the experience even more worth it. Has ample time in all locations, food was yummy and best pottery experience. Elif has a charismatic personality will definitely recommend her and best wishes
Excellent tour, the experience was very complete. We were very well taken care of and always had water available, which was important with the heat; Oz was an excellent host, an impeccable guide, and very fun.
