It was a great experience with unique insights from our guide Tugba. She took to nice places and explained well. Thanks for making the tour special for us :)
Fantastic tour of Cappadocia with stops at the underground city, an ancient church, pigeon caves, imagination valley and much more!
Our day with Tugba was very nice. You can customize the tour based on your preferences and that was much appreciated. We visited how many different places by the end of the day and it was a great way to see a lot in a short amount of time. Tugba made a good recommendation for lunch as well and we enjoyed our food a lot. Definitely wear comfortable walking shoes as you will be doing a lot of walking!
The tour guide was the highlight of our Turkey trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable and a joy to talk to. We asked him questions all day about Turkish culture and history, and he gladly answered them. He had amazing information about all of the places he took us. We chose a 9:00 am pickup from our hotel. We told them what we had seen already in Cappadocia and what we wanted to see today. They rearranged the itinerary to fit our interests. We could stay as little or as long as we wanted to at each location. He offered to take pictures all day. They told us that they can drop us off at the hotel whenever we were ready. We did not feel rushed or on a schedule. Around 6:00 pm (18:00) we said we were ready to go back to our hotel. We were able to do everything we wanted that day. The only things that were must-dos for us were Cinar, the ceramics museum, and lunch. They filled in the gaps with view points, a beautiful local coffee shop, and other places. At Cinar and the ceramics museum, the tour guide was familiar with the people at those locations. Our tour guide was friends with the ceramics museum worker, and the worker gave us a private tour of the museum, the showroom, and the back room where the artists make the ceramics. None of the other tourists got to go in the back room. The shuttle was comfortable with air conditioning and free water. The tour guide was absolutely wonderful.
Tuğba was such an amazing tour guide. She was personable, funny, knew how to take good photos and super knowledgeable. She also gave us options for the day and navigated a custom itinerary that fit our group. She was hands down the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend booking her.
Really nice private family tour. Great organization, we visited all the main places in tranquility and serenity accompanied by the local guide Tuğba really nice and helpful, very kind with great commitment explained everything we were going to visit, took us to have a coffee in a beautiful local place, took pictures and made us have fun. He also agreed to change something from the program. Fantastic. Tuğba Rating 10
It was a pleasant trip. Our tour guide, Tugba & our driver Osman is very good. Very knowledgeable which make our trip more meaningful and we got to know so much of history in cappadocia. Osman have excellent photography skills
An amazing day with Tugb(guide) & Usman(Driver +photographer)!!! We visited amazing tourist spots. Tugba guided and explained us every places in well organised way. Usman having very good knowledge about photography and he had driven safely all the way in our tour. My daughter still asking about Tugba that much she likes her. Usman captured amazing photos & videos for us whole day in the tour. We had a really unforgettable day with them. Tugba and Usman are highly recommended for any type of tour.
If you’re going to book this and want to adjust the itinerary you MUST do this in advance. We did not get a finalized itinerary until day of and when we tried to make changes they were not able to fully accommodate. They also scheduled an hour and a half for shopping which wasn’t advertised on trip advisor. We got dropped off early because we had seen some sites the day before however it would have been nice to fill the time. I don’t think it was our driver or guide’s fault. I would just make sure to finalize itinerary with the company the day before. Guide and driver were very nice and knowledgeable but I would just rent a car next time.
We had a fantastic day with Tugba and Osman. The tour was customised to our requirements with a couple of other stops which Tugba suggested which were great. Tugba is very knowledgeable about the area and it’s history. Osman is a budding photographer and videographer and created some amazing memories for us to take home. We would definitely recommend them.
