1. What hotel is used for this tour? I would like to look into it further before booking. 2. Is there an option to upgrade/change hotel if we want? 3. The price is much more expensive than a few others I have found that sound identical. Wondering what is the reason for the price difference? 4. Is there an option to add on a balloon ride and an ATV or horseback sunset tour?

1. What hotel is used for this tour? (Mostly, we are using Hidden Cave Hotel for the accommodation. We book you into a Deluxe Cave room there.) 2. Is there an option to upgrade/change hotel if we want? (Surely, we can upgrade your hotel if you do not like our option. But, there will be a price difference with that.) 3. The price is much more expensive than a few others I have found that sound identical. Wondering what is the reason for the price difference? (Our group tours are special to our customers and we do not combine with any other travel agencies like others do. Our maximum group size is 6 people. We do not eat at group restaurant; open-buffet restaurants. Instead, we have our lunches at small boutique restaurants. We do not use any tour guides younger than 10 years experience in the business.) 4. Is there an option to add on a balloon ride and an ATV or horseback sunset tour? (We can surely add these activities to the itinerary. The rate for the balloon ride is 300 Euro per person. the rate for the sunset ATV ride or horseride will be 50 Euro per person.)

Can I arrange airport transfers?

We provide pick-up from the hotel in Istanbul on Day 1 and drop-off on Day 3. Additional transfers can be arranged for a fee.

What is the price for the hot air balloon ride?

The balloon ride can be added to your itinerary at a rate of 250 Euro per person.

How can I contact support for more questions?

You can reach out to us via the Ask a Question button.

What is the maximum age range for this tour?

The tour is designed for adults, but specific age guidelines can be discussed.

When will I receive my travel voucher?

The travel voucher will be sent after the bookings are confirmed within 1-2 days.

What are the payment methods accepted for the tour?

You can make payments using various options, including credit cards and local payments.

Is there a minimum group size for the tour?

Yes, minimum group sizes apply to ensure a smooth experience.

What happens if my hot air balloon ride is canceled?

If the ride is canceled due to weather, the full amount paid will be refunded.

Do you take trips to Cappadocia during June?

We will surely have the same itinerary next year as well, but we will update the pricing and availability in end of September this year as the flight schedules are not open yet.

The three day Cappadocia tour was amazing!! The cave hotel that we stayed at was unique, artistic and so beautiful! Waking up in the morning with the skies overhead filled with colorful hot air balloons was a sight to remember forever! Next time we come we will definitely take a balloon ride. The places that the tour guides took us were very interesting and the guides were extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful (especially Ms Cini!!) The food was absolutely delicious!Show more
