This is promoted as a 5 day guided tour from Istanbul and back. But it absolutely is not. It's actually 4 single day tours, with different drivers and guides in each town. The communication on this was terrible for the 1st 2 days from the tour company. Once I understood this, and accepted it, I enjoyed each individual day for what they were. You are in a very non-english speaking area of the country, and so relying on someone you only met either that morning or afternoon is jarring. The "1st day" is just flying from Istanbul, so it is really wasted. Make sure to book your balloon flight beforehand for the "2nd day" as it was a scramble for me with the tour company when I arrived. The drivers were good, limited English. The guides were great. The tour company, no so much.Show more

Thank you for your detailed feedback and for sharing your experience with us. We truly appreciate both your positive comments about our guides and drivers, as well as your honest remarks regarding communication and tour expectations. Your feedback highlights that we need to communicate this much more clearly in advance, and we will work on improving our tour descriptions and pre-tour information for future guests. Regarding the first day, airport transfers and domestic flights are included as part of the package logistics, but we understand your point that it may feel more like a travel day than a touring day. We also appreciate your note about the balloon ride reservation process, and we will review how we provide this information to guests before arrival to make the process smoother. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the individual tours, and that our guides and drivers helped make your experience enjoyable overall. Your comments are valuable to us and will help us improve both our communication and guest experience moving forward.

Overall it was good, however; you go to Cappadocia for two main reasons: Fairy chimneys and the Underground City. Both were in our itinerary to visit, but for some reason which no one has explained to me as yet, we did not see the Underground City. There is a lot of driving between locations so prepare for that, it makes for really long days on a couple of them. The sites visited are incredible. The hotels, food, and guides are wonderful.Show more

All of the arrangements were made as described in the itinerary. No issues with transfers, flights or hotel arrangements. My guide, Done Mesci, spoke good English, was very knowledgeable and just a lovely person. The restaurants were thoughtfully selected and allowed for sampling of local cuisine. The itinerary interesting with not too much driving which suited me well. Mr. Mehmet was very responsive. Overall very well planned - highly recommend.Show more
