    First of all, thank you for your feedback. Regarding the tour guide telling you that they were asked to do the tour last minute, it is correct that your tour was booked in February, and the guide was informed in February, sorry about the negative experience that was caused, we will be investigating this. We are also very sorry to hear about the flight, we have checked and the reason the flight was booked as it was is due to Mrs. Terry requesting to be put on the same flights as you. Regarding the timetables, as the departure times have to be organized a day earlier as there are many files that are organized and last minute bookings that come in, hope you can understand! If you come to Turkey once again, we would like to host you as best as possible and make it up to you! Best Wishes, Ozgur Ates

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      What will be the flight time in the Day 1?

    • C

      Cristina

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      If we leave near the IST airport, will you pick us up?

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten February 2026

      The main difference between the two tours is that one offers a shorter version of the Day 2 tour if you wish to do the Hot Air Balloon Flight, however, this is still an option for the one you are currently enquiring about. This option was provided for those who wish to have a calmer style of tour.

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten February 2026

      The flight time on Day 1 will be in the early morning (between 4 - 6 AM) and you will have a tour of Cappadocia upon arrival.

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten February 2026

      Certainly, kindly let us know which hotel you are planning to stay at.
