From Antalya: 2-Day Cappadocia, Cave Hotel, & Balloon Tour

It's a very long 2 days. The roads are good but travel speed is slow. Many logistics changing of buses, adding people, changing people on bus. Our bus driver Hussan and guide Effren were great. But our bus for English speakers was crap. Couldn't recline at all. Not a single USB or charging area for phone. The lunch ( not included,) was tasteless and not worth almost 20 euros without even water. Everything is an upcharge. Of course riding hot air balloon is extra, but taking the group to watch the balloons is also charged ( 25 euros)The sunset viewing is also an additional 25 euros. On the return, at the last transfer point another younger guide came onto bus with many Russians and he started demanding we give up our seats. ( Seats our guide had specifically given us for last leg) The guide picked up my backpack, demanded I move, and then literally threw the backpack onto my lap. Very violent rude behavior. I am a 65 year old, professional woman. No one has ever treated me that way. The cave hotel room was dirty with construction debris on stairs, carpet and flooring. It was also located out in the middle of nowhere. Dinner is included but even a bottle of water is extra.

A fantastic experience from start to finish. Special thanks to our driver, Hasan, and our guide, Erhan—spoke excellent English and explained everything with great detail and patience. The meals provided at the hotel (dinner and breakfast) were lovely, and the lunch spots Hasan and Erhan took us to were equally impressive. I paid extra for a single room, which was comfortable and clean. While all the add-on activities were enjoyable, the early morning hot air balloon ride was easily the highlight of the trip. Thank you both for a memorable experience!

We had a great time, our guide Erhan Bey was extremely helpful and friendly. Everything was well planned and managed.

Had a fabulous trip. Farid our guide was so helpful & kind and willing to help anyone to get the best experience out of the trip. So we upgraded our trip during the long journey up to Cappadocia we went for the lunches the hot hair balloon instead of the sunrise looking to the hot air balloon across the valley , we went to the the sunset with wine . And to be fair Farid was so accommodating to anyone who changed their plan during the trip. We first visited the underground city absolutely amazing. Then on to lunch by pigeon valley Then we had few stops in different locations with different view point and walk around .then made our way to the hotel were we refreshed ourselves before going to the sunset followed by dinner at our cave hotel. We had an early start for the hot air balloon so early night to bed. We had tea and cake waiting for us while they blew up the hot air balloon and the spectacle was amazing to see the all valley coming to life with balloons feeling up everywhere. And up we went ! Mind blowing absolutely a must do so peaceful up there and the views as you are going around the valley and see the sky like a sea of balloons wow !!! Absolutely wow ! Then back at the hotel we had breakfast before heading to love valley and other view points and 2 stops in shops ( one is jewelry with sultan gems and silver , and the second is food coffee oil ... ) And then back on our journey back to Alanya . Just be aware it is a very very long journey up and down sitting in a mini bus with not great A/C but plenty free water . Sitting for so long in heat your legs are like balloon!

Our tour guide Olea was great. She was knowledgeable and extremely friendly. She did beyond and above my expectations to help me and others. The tour was kind of tiring for two days but we see most of the things in Cappadocia. The only part was the bus with few inches of leg room , but Olä gave me one of the front seats because of my knee condition .The cave hotel Terracotta was very nice and comfortable with very nice hostess. I recommend everyone to visit Cappadocia.

Guides were lovely and informative. Hotel was quaint. Although it was a tight schedule they did their best to make sure we were looked after.

I had a great time with this trip. Our tour guide Erhan is funny and knowledgable, that makes the trip fun and interesting to learn about a new place. He is very helpful as well :) Our bus driver Hassam drives very safely, it feels so smooth through all moutains. I wish the bus has a socket to charge phone though. The bus was definitely long but with several breaks in between it’s doable.

Wonderful but a bit rushed, wishing that we have more tine to eat. But there are a lot of activities to cover.

Was really nice and fun tour. Had a cave hotel and the hotel was amazing. Our tour guide Erhan took good care of us and was very informative. I recommend

For my experienced, the hotel is not bad specially the jacuzzi but the travel is very much tiring staying a lot hours inside the bus then, so many gasoline station stop and takes a lot of time, the lunch time become dinner time.
