Heldagsvandring i Kappadokien

It was a wonderful and by far the most educational hiking activity I have ever done. Halil is a wonderful guide and he took all my worries away - from planning to driving to choosing a correct hiking route (some hiking trail signs were incorrect or maliciously altered) to sharing information about the churches/nature/history of Cappadocia. It was a full 8 hour day but it was an easy and relaxing hike, my 8 yo son Sasha enjoyed it very much too. And it is definitely the best way to see 4 different valleys in one beautiful hike.

You have not truly experienced Cappadocia until you go on this full day hike with Halil. His knowledge of the area’s history, the churches and of course the fairy chimneys made this journey fantastic. But let’s not forget his wonderful personality, patience and occasionally a helping hand when needed.

Amazing experience! My favorite tour in Türkiye. Halil is a wonderful hiking guide - it was like I was hiking with one of my friends, which I very much appreciated as a solo traveler. Halil was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and professional. He is also a fantastic photographer and knows the best places along the hike to take memorable scenic photos. We hiked in White Valley, Love Valley, Rose Valley, and Red Valley, and the terrain, churches, and caves were beautiful. A must-do tour in Cappadocia! I highly recommend it. Thank you for a wonderful experience, Halil!

A day rich in walking, hidden discoveries among the rocks, and magnificent views of the Cappadocia valleys, thanks to the expertise and friendliness of our guide Halil-Erdin! We will keep very, very beautiful memories of it.

Halil our guide was fantastic! The entire day was perfect. The hike was medium hard and so worth it The best way to see the Valleys and fairy chimneys! Halil was so knowledgeable and passionate about his information.. we highly recommend it!

We were picked up at 9 AM by Halil and his wife Caroline and driven to the starting point of the hike. We hiked through Vineyard Valley, Love Valley, Rose Valley, and Red Valley. After about 7 km, there was freshly squeezed orange juice, after 9 km lunch, and at the end, a wine tasting in Avanos, Halil's hometown. Halil provided us with unique information about the history, nature, formation, and also personal impressions of his life. The hike was very varied. A truly unique experience in nature, without tourist attractions or sales pitches. Highly recommended

My friend and I had the chance to go on this walk/hike with Erdin. He is very personable and has a lot of good information along the way. He speaks different languages and has so much life experience. We had snack and water along the way and a nice lunch with a great view. Going through these different valleys with a professional guide made all the difference. He knew about all the fruit trees growing in the area which was so interesting as a lot of them were in bloom. At the end of the day Erdin even took us to his favourite wine make in his town so we could sample some wine. Such a nice way to end our 15km walk. We would certainly recommend this tour with Erdin. Just make sure you wear proper shoes as some areas are a bit slippery or wet.

This is a tour that I would recommend so much. Halil brought me to beautiful places that I would not have walked alone. He gave me a lot of knowledge about the area. He brought lunch that we sat out in nature eating with the most beautiful view. Fantastic day.

Curated hike through the best of Cappadocia with knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide Halil. This tour takes in all of the off the beaten path, churches, pigeonaries, apiaries, and fairy chimneys. Halil is a gem of passion, effervescence and encouragement. Fantastic pacing with coffee, orange juice and wine stops to split up a full day of geologic Joy. My 77-year-old mother made the hike easily so can you sign up now.

An amazing adventure, getting to know the landscape and history step by step. It's something I could never have done on my own. Halil's passion and knowledge of the nature, history and geology of this place really shines through. To see some of the churches and chapels carved out of stone in the middle of a rock formation called a fairy chimney spire - and to be in places where it was just our small group - this is the gift of going off the beaten track to really experience this landscape by walking!
