We had a great day with Baris (Barry) he supplied the right amount of information with being over the top. It was a great day with a small group. Thanks
A highly recommended tour. Special mention for Ahmed, a guide who clearly knows what he is talking about, has a lot of culture and knowledge. Furthermore, at all times they have been very attentive and friendly, both he and the driver.
Gracias por explorar Capadocia con nosotros. Fue un placer servirle. Esperamos verle nuevamente en nuestro país. Ahmed
Its a wow experience to see all of this cave where peoples used to live and protect them self from their enemies. How they preserved and stored they food, even theres a cave for feeding the animals. The tunnels that connect to each room is tiny and short that you have to bend to passed them. They also has wine storage and made their own wine there. They made also incredible stone door with 400 kg doors…you have to cone with a guide as you can be lost inside. Its worth to come and see. Anyway its written that its not recommended for those with high blood pressure and asthma. Out side you can find some souvenirs shop and also nice view and place to sit outside
Thank you for your reservation with us. We will be happy to see you again in our country.
It was an amazing experience!! The Ahmed guide was clear, told us a lot of history and toured the main sites. The best tour in Goreme/Cappadocia.
Gracias por tu gran reseña. Nos encantaría volver a verte. Saludos Ahmed
The tour went well. The underground city was amazing. Mustafa was our guide and did an excellent job in explaining life in the underground city as well as a lot of the geological features of the Pigeon and Rose valleys. Lunch was better than expected as well. We are happy we went.
Thank you very much for exploring the underground city with us. It was a pleasure getting to know you. Best regards.
We booked the small group but ended up being the only travelers. Mustafa was amazing and so friendly and informative. He knows the area inside and out and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend doing this tour, we had an amazing day
Thank you for your great review. It was a pleasure getting to know you. Hope to see you again in our country. Best regards.
Excellent, the guide spoke very good Spanish, very complimentary, experienced and knowledgeable guide!
We have done the red tour with guide in Spanish at the beginning had to be in a group of 4 people minimum which was one of the requirements not to do the exclusive tour (which was more expensive) and everything and missing people made the tour to ourselves (two people) was perfect, punctual, friendly, professional there is nothing more to say if I repeat it will be with them.
This was our first time in Cappadocia and we had an excellent experience thanks to this tour, not only for its beautiful scenery and art but also for the valuable cultural information and history of this region provided by our friendly and polite guide Ahmet, I highly recommend it,Thanks for everything
