A must do.

Our guide Fatima and driver Mamet were fantastic. We conversed in the car and had fun and when we got to each location, Fatima was knowledgeable and informative. Lunch was also delicious and there was an abundance of food. We upgraded to a cave room and I would definitely recommend Zaydem Suites. Wonderful. The hot air balloon ride was the icing on the cake. Our pilot had us skimming over the trees so we could see the Fairy Houses up close and high up for a fantastic panoramic view. Having such an easy going and friendly guide and driver made the tour better than we hoped for. 10/10.bh

Tour of Cappadocia well worth your money and time-Cappodocia Jewels 3 Day trip

This trip was exceptional. The pickup from our Hotel in Istanbul to the delivery back to the Hotel when it was over and everything in between. Get the top of the line tour with the balloon ride and the Zeydem Suites Cave Hotel. All was spectacular. Our Guide and our Driver did a fantastic job. Tried to leave this review with Expedia, but their system would not allow me to comment. This trip is also marketed on Viator. Saw many different places including the Underground City, the spires near Goreme.

Different itinerary provided than advertised

The itinerary I got before the tour started was not the one advertised & I had to pay out of pocket for a new flight back to Istanbul & missed parts of the tour because they picked me up late. I did not get refunded for any of this. There are plenty of tour operators in Cappadocia that all offer the same tours. I would not recommend using this one.

Operator response

Dear Guest You well knows. You were not read itinerary just read the title of tour and come to Turkey. You were made yourown reservation for a dinner in Istanbul, and you requested modify the last day of itinerary after we completed all the arrangments of your trip(booked the hotel, flight tickets etc) We booked the flight tickets for planned itinerary - return to Istanbul after the tour at the evening time. After we sent you those flight tickets you said us “I have dinner reservation in Istanbul, book a new earlier flight to Istanbul for me.” We said you the amendings to trip plan can not confirm after completed the arrangments by us. (You requested that modification two days before departure date) You paid us for two ways flight tickets and requested three flight tickets. We have already booked two flight tickets and did not confirm third flight ticket. Imagine! you pays cost for two something and request three. Which company confirm that in world ? Kind Regards

Very convenient way to visit the Cappadocia if you're short on time

Unfortunately our balloon ride was cancelled due to bad weather, but we were aware of this possibility and got the partial refund. If you really want the balloon ride and have time for it, you should stay longer in Cappadocia to retry every morning until weather is good, otherwise you'll need to be very lucky if you have only one shot. However, if you're short on time like I was, it's still worth going to Cappadocia even without the balloon ride, and this tour makes that very convenient! The views are amazing, the Cappadocia Hotel is awesome and has a delicious breakfast, and the camel ride is very fun. The only downside is that our tour guide was not the best we had and the van was too tight and a bit hot sometimes (the AC was not working well), but I still give it 5 stars because everything else makes up for it!
