This tour was amazing and I would give more stars if I could! Omar was on time picking me up, brought water for the hike and made sure to point out all of the historical significance while we walked past the beautiful rocks formations and churches tucked into red + rose valley! We made it up to the last church and view point as the sun was starting to set and had drinks as we were joined by the horseback riders that share this spot. It was picturesque to see them riding off as the sun set. Omar didn't rush me and let me take lots of photos. I definitely recommend for anybody that's visiting Cappadocia! 😊
If you are looking for a true experience, far from mass tourism and completely immersed in the unspoiled nature of Cappadocia, this sunset trek through the valleys of Göreme is the perfect choice. The true added value of our excursion was undoubtedly our guide, Omer. His professionalism and extraordinary preparation allowed us to discover the history, geology, and secrets of these unique landscapes, walking in total safety and at the right pace. In addition to being an impeccable guide, Omer distinguished himself with a rare kindness and attentiveness, always being mindful of every detail and the needs of the entire group. Watching the sun set over the valleys, coloring the rocks with incredible hues, was an unforgettable moment. Highly recommended for anyone who loves to walk and seeks an authentic connection with nature. Five well-deserved stars!
Arrows are sparse, trail is confusing, and there are a ton of cool things to see on this trail. Getting a guide is the way to go to a) not get lost and b) see all of the cave churches and bee houses.
Omar was a fantastic guide who provided a unique and authentic experience in a stunning location. Great information on history of the area. Highly recommend!
Beautiful walk through 3 valleys of Cappadocia. My guide, Mustafa, was very helpful and friendly, allowed me to visit fantastic viewpoints where otherwise it would have been difficult to get there. He also explained very well the history of the valleys and monasteries that are located within them. Highly recommended tour.
