2 Day All Inclusive Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul with Optional Balloon Flight

Fantastic experience. We did a 3 night 2 day private tour which was arranged seamlessly. Nothing could have been better, from pick up in Istanbul through to departure. Our guide was so knowledgeable, flexible and kind. The hotel (Fresco) was perfect. They arranged our balloon trip which was pure magic. We all agree this has been the best organised tour ever with flawless communication via WhatsApp. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I must say that the experience with "Bellaturca" has been very positive. •The trip from Istanbul and back is done by plane. Although you start alone, at no point do you feel abandoned, as Mustafa from his agency sends you messages to guide you and ensure everything goes smoothly. It is a personal communication. •You do the tour with Ahmet. An excellent guide, respectful and very attentive to your comfort. His explanations are well-founded and he answers your questions. •The hotel is very beautiful and comfortable with a very good location in the village of Ürgüp. The staff is very friendly. •The meals are menus to choose from among several dishes, in good restaurants and of excellent quality. And the Turkish breakfast at the hotel is exquisite. Throughout the tour, they offer you water, which is very helpful during this season.

We found this trip to be a great value taste of Cappadocia. Communication was excellent throughout, with someone on WhatsApp in touch all through to make sure all was happening as it should. Hotel airport transfers and flights went smoothly. Our guides were fantastic and we appreciated their love and knowledge of the area and it's history. The tour vans were comfortable and bottled water was provided. Lunches were fabulous, a taste of Turkish food. The cave hotel room was very cool. Don't just go because of the balloon ride; enjoy this fabulous region and learn about the history and geology. Don't hesitate to use Bellaturca, they were really good.

This 2-day experience in Cappadocia was exceptional. Coming from Mexico and the United States, I was initially apprehensive about the language and cultural differences, but Bellaturca made us feel completely safe, comfortable, and well cared for from start to finish. Every detail of the trip was flawlessly coordinated. From the pickup at our hotel in Istanbul to our return the following day, the logistics were seamless and professional. The quality of every aspect of the experience exceeded our expectations, from the transportation and accommodations to the excellent lunches included during the tour. The sites themselves were fascinating, and the guides provided informative, balanced, and engaging historical context. I especially appreciated that they clearly distinguished between documented history, local legends, and cultural traditions, which made the experience both educational and authentic. The traditional breakfast at the cave hotel was amazing and delicious! What impressed me most was the company's attention to detail and genuine commitment to its guests. I was traveling with my mother, who is almost 84 years old. Although she is very active, the guides went out of their way to accommodate her needs and ensure that she could fully enjoy every part of the trip. Their kindness, patience, and professionalism made a lasting impression on us. The cultural richness of Cappadocia is remarkable, and it was inspiring to see the pride that local people take in preserving and sharing their heritage. That passion was evident throughout the tour. A special thank you to Ahmed, who was exceptionally kind, professional, and attentive. He made us feel safe and welcome throughout the journey. He also arranged our hot air balloon ride, which became one of the highlights of our entire holiday. While there are many companies offering balloon experiences, having Ahmed coordinate everything made the process effortless. We simply enjoyed the experience while Bellaturca handled all the details. I highly recommend Bellaturca to anyone planning a visit to Cappadocia. The region is rich in history, culture, and natural beauty, but having outstanding guides and impeccable logistics makes all the difference. Bellaturca delivered an experience that exceeded our expectations and created memories that my mother and I will cherish for years to come.

Highly efficient and excellent communication before, during and after the event. Amazing trip, truly wonderful guides. Hotel accommodations, staff and food were fabulous. Our only disappointment was that the weather interfered with our anticipated hot air balloon ride.

Fantastic experience. Please read my review on TripAdvisor. And, oh, add the balloon flight. Well done, Bellaturka!

This is definitely the way to go if you plan to visit Cappadocia and experience what it has to offer in one visit. This is a first class operation. It was stress free. From the time they picked us up from our hotel, they stayed in touch every step of the way, just like a parent would with their kids. Highly recommended Good job, Mustafa

Fantastic experience. Everything went like clockwork. Extremely professional, communication excellent, Mustafa was a great driver, and the tour guide, Omer, was one of the best we’ve had - knowledgeable, patient, friendly and passionate. We stayed in the Fresco Caves hotel - it was terrific, comfortable, spacious, clean and staff was helpful and friendly. As part of this tour, we opted to add the Cappadocia Balloon flight experience, and we were so glad we did. Again, very professional and amiable staff, and what a glorious experience. You’d be a fool not to take this flight. Cannot thank Bellaturka enough for the wonderful time we had. Would very highly recommend.

The bottom line, this trip was phenomenal! Communication: I was contacted by the company (Mostafa) soon after I booked it. He provided us with every detail we needed to know for the trip. The exact itinerary, when will we be picked up, airline tickets (he even checked us in online), where to go after arrival in Kayseri airport and he checked on us with every step. We felt very safe and well taken care of. The tours: we were picked up by the driver at the airport and picked us our guide, Omer, once reached Cappadocia, which is about an hour from the airport. The tour is divided into two sections, north and south. Omer provided us with the a printed itinerary of the places we are going to visits. The tours are flexible and they’re very accommodating. If you have a place in your mind just ask! Omer was an amazing guide and a human being! He is knowledgeable and very easy to have a deep and interesting conversations with. The kids loved him! We all did. Accommodation: they put us in this beautiful cave hotel with spa and massage facilities. Our only regret was we didn’t get to stay longer! Drivers: all the drivers we had were wonderful! Very professional, courteous and excellent drivers. Ballon ride: the ballon ride is payed separately. Because sometimes it’s closed down because of weather conditions, you only pay after the ride. You don’t pay anything upfront. Don’t miss it! It’s pretty safe and stable and we had a wonderful time. Food: you’ll get two delicious lunches at local restaurants. Things to consider: you’re going to be picked up very early in the morning for your flight to Cappadocia. We were picked up at 4:30am. The driver. You’ll also be picked up way before sunrise if you’re doing the ballon ride, which you should not miss! We were picked up at 4:00am. Bring a light jacket because up there it gets chilly even on warm days. The places you visit are archeological sites and can have uneven grounds, steps up or down, climbing uphill or downhill. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. In the underground city you might need to bro through narrow passages bowing down a little. You really don’t need any level of fitness because I don’t have any and did just fine. Almost all shops accepted cards. So cash was not an issue. All in all, it was a wonderful two-day trip, very well organized and packed with new experiences. Thanks, Mostafa, Omer, all drivers and BellaTurca for the amazing experience and unforgettable memories!
