Good experience

Well organised transfers from hotel. Really interesting ceremony in a cave room. Would recommend to other travellers interested in an authentic turkish experience.

A deeply moving religious and cultural experience in a historical setting. Did not feel it was a tourist show, felt very authentic .

It was a very humbling experience, the dedication to the dance was definitely something nice to see

It was a nice experience to witness part of the Turkish culture for which the dancing represents. My mom always wanted to see this and she really enjoyed it.

Curious

Despite some initial misunderstanding about the booking the managers were attentive and helpful. Curious and very particular experience. There are short explanatory brochures in different languages, but it is useful to browse two pieces of information about the seed first.

Cute.

The ceremony itself is very interesting, but they DO NOT WANT YOUNG CHILDREN. So be careful! Tripadvisor made me book for 2 adults + 1 infant but then at the entrance they made a fuss!
