Selim, our tour consultant, has been very proactive and helpful since the beginning. He’s very responsive and quick in responding to my questions and requests. The arrangement he made was superb and seamless. We discussed a lot on the itinerary and details, and all are, if not meeting, beyond our expectations. The transportation and tour he arranged was comprehensive with reasonable price. We really enjoyed our tour very much. He also managed to get us the last minute tickets for hot air balloon ride which was excellent. Thank you for the Turkish pizza on our last meeting before we went to Pamukkale, also arranged by him then back to Istanbul, which was also managed by him. He took care of us and made sure we’ve been picked up and arrived in the hotel in Istanbul safe and sound. Again, I’d highly recommend this tour provider and when I am back to Türkiye, I will definitely use his service again.

Itinerary
The Goreme Open Air Museum has been a member of UNESCO World Heritage List since 1984, and was one of the first two UNESCO sites in Turkey
Uchisar is situated at the highest point in Cappadocia, on the Nevsehir-Goreme road, just 5 km from Goreme. The top of the Uchisar Castle, provides a magnificent panorama of the surrounding area with Mount Erciyes in the distance.
Pasabag in Cappadocia is located on the road to Zelve, coming from Goreme or Avanos. Highly remarkable earth pillars can be seen here, in the middle of a vineyard, hence the name of the place which means: the Pacha's vineyard. Pacha means "General", the military rank, in Turkish and it is a very common nick name. This site is also called Monks Valley. The name was derived from some cones carved in tuff stones which stand apart. Currently, there is a vineyard and a number of tuff cones standing right next to the roa
Making Pottery and Ceramics in Avanos As time has progressed, some of the pottery sold in Avanos is now mass produced for tourism. It sells at a lower price but is not authentic. A skilled potter on a foot driven spinning wheel makes the authentic Avanos pottery from scratch. He will take the clay and along with water, produce an expert piece within minutes. Experience is vital and it is no easy task to produce an item of the same calibre or appearance
Çavuşin is a village in the district of Avanos in Nevşehir Province in the Cappadocia region of Turkey. It is on the road between Avanos and Göreme, about five kilometers north of Göreme.
ORTAHISAR AND ORTAHISAR CASTLE ... Ortahisar means "middle castle," and as its name implies, it is central among the Cappadocian towns of Goreme, Urgup, ...

It was my first trip to Turkey, and I had always preferred to travel alone. I came across the Tours4Turkey website and contacted them. From the planning to the actual trip, Mr Selim Karaca was in it the whole time. He helped plan my itinerary. The moment I arrived in Istanbul, it was smooth. He even msged me via WhatsApp to check if i had gotten to my hotel transfer and also have I arrived safely to my hotel. I was there for 8 days, and Mr Selim was constantly checking on me each day, making sure that I was picked on time and if I enjoyed the tour he had arranged for me. My first morning at Kapadokya, the hot air balloon ride was cancelled due to weather. Mr Selim booked for the next day, and lucky for us, it happened. His main concern was my comfort and safety while I was there. Especially since I was a solo female traveller in a place I had never been before, it was a comfort to know you have such a dependable travel coordinator that takes such good care for you. From the tours till the hotels he had arranged for me, I have no complaints whatsoever. Everything was way beyond my expectations and satisfaction Upon my return, whenever someone asks me how my trip was, I told them honestly, it was because of Mr Selim's well planned itinerary and the fact he took such good care of me as his guest, I am looking forward to visiting Turkey again and also engaging his services. For those looking to visit Turkey, look for Mr Selim Karaca of Tours4Turkey, not only is he an excellent travel coordinator but also sees you as his personal guest. You won't be disappointed 😊
Our 2 days Cappadocia experience was wonderful even though we missed the hot air balloon ride due to windy weather. We have a very organized tour and a cozy cave hotel accomodation. Our tour agent Selim, arranged it all and it was beyond expectations. Excellent service and highly recommendable.
Thanks to the very friendly boss and staff, I was worried about getting a guest. We made a fun tour in Cappadocia for a cheaper amount. Travel agent... They're so kind... I was warned... They were really just kind people. He's too skilled at steering wheels, and he's too difficult to land. In the vehicle. We were surprised. I thought it was the ground, but the vehicle landed precisely... And thanks to Mr. Shhedar, who is proficient in Korean... Tour choice was too comfortable.
When we were in pamukkale we met junior. He explained us all the things we could do in cappadocia and offered us a good deal. we chose to do the ATV tour, balloon ride and horse riding. We didn’t know when exactly we would do the activities, but this was not an issue. A down payment was required, but don’t worry because junior proved he can really be trusted. When we were in cappadocia the activities were smoothly arranged and really worth it! I would recommend planning activities with junior to everyone!
We had Gorkem Rehber for our entire time in TK. I have been to TK more than 15 times (Married a Turkish woman) and this year we had friends come visit, we did Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, etc… and the whole time “Georgie” was with us. He was attentive, informative and became part of our family group, he jumped at every request working hard to make it happen, our kids loved him as he was as comfortable and kind with the kids as with us grown ups. After traveling all over the world and having many tour guides I have to say he is in the top ones of all time.
Good Trip for many days in Cappadocia with Best Price. - ATV sunset - Hot Air Balloon - Red+Green Tour (with Lunch) - Transport to the Airport
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we appreciate it!
I heard about Mr. Silver who organizes these trips online and contacted him before we arrived in Pamukkale. I wasn't sure about him at first but he was TOTALLY AWESOME!! Here are the 2 things most exceptional about him. 1) The price for our tours were VERY GOOD (I asked other tourists, some local people, and hotel staffs and they all said we are so lucky we got this price). Mr. Silver gave us 170 EUR/person for: Balloon ride + ATV + red tour + green tour + bus ride to airport, while normally you would have to pay about 140-150EUR for the balloon ride alone. They were all very satisfactory and fun activities worth trying if you happen to visit Cappadocia. 2) The price is not even the best part of my experience. Yes, it was really good bargain but what makes me sit down and write this review, is how responsible and honest Mr. Silver was to us. On our last day, we told Mr. Silver the time and airport we need to be to catch our flight back to Istanbul but his driver messed up and drove us to another airport! We had no choice but to buy another air tickets right there. Normally the online price would be about 25 EUR / person (KAY-->IST) but at that time, we had to pay double and we were a group of 2 so we had to pay extra 100 EUR for this mistake, which was not caused by us. I called Mr. Silver immediately and after explaining the situation, he said "Buy the tickets and I will pay that for you". This is how responsible and true to his business he was. We were a little bit unsure whether he would really send the money to us (we sent him the photo of our receipt and bank acc. of Istanbul hotel we were staying) but he did it first thing in the next morning!! We got our whole 100 EUR back in cash from the hotel after they confirm the money is really in the account! Our trip ended happily with Mr. Silver in our hearts. If only all other travel agents are like this, travelling the world would be a much more carefree and satisfying experience for all of us. Thank you Mr. Silver. Love, Pei
We had the young Mr. Hassan Tekdal as our personal guide. He was knowledgeable and friendly. He is very professional. At the last minute my wife and i decided to do the paragliding and he was able to accommodate it easily. Highly recommend this guide. Well done Mr Hassan and hope to meet you again.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your tour, and we enjoyed meeting you and your wife. Best wishes for safe travels
Selim was very information and responsive when helping us book the trip to Cappadocia. He was easy to reach by whatsapp and worked very hard to make our honeymoon memorable.
