Would I be able to decide about getting the extra add-ons (dinner cruise, and DJ party) at the time or do I need to book that in advance?

I'm a vegetarian (sometimes I eat fish). Will there be options for me?

How do we organize spending more days at Istanbul?

You can come earlier to Istanbul. We can check hotel and airport transfer rate for you. Domestic flights are not included in our rate and need to be booked individually.

I would like to know the price of the tour including the internal flight between Istanbul and Cappadocia and also if it is possible to exclude the excursion on the third day at the bazaar. And what is the price of one flight with the hot air Balloon?

The domestic flights have to be booked individually by you or the customers, we can recommend flights after booking the tour. Currently flights with return from IST - NAV - IST/SAW., Nevsehir are costing around 80-85 Euro with Turkish Airlines for instance. The program is designed as guaranteed departure SIC, therefore the program cannot be changed. The Hot Air Balloon flight over Cappadocia costs around 265-290 Euro, I will check the exact rate. It is an incredible and unforgettable experience.

I would like to enquire about cappadocia tourist package along with accommodation and wanna cover all the below, Hence kindly let us know the best affordable package for 4 adults (2 nights) 26th Oct to 28th Oct 2022. 1) hot air ballon, 2) ATV tour(quad bike), 3) jet boat

Would you like to do the complete 'Taste of Turkey' tour program or just the individual, private version mentioned below including all activities for a total of 4 adults?

Is there an opportunity to take a bus there?

By bus it takes at least 8-10 h - so for a 4 nights/5 days program quite a lot time on the road.

Is the hotel on the first night included?

The tour will start on 25.07.2022 and the first night in a hotel in Istanbul is included in the program and price.

Dear Wijdan, thank you very much for your feedback & good ratings. We hope you enjoyed your time in Türkiye. There is a turkish proverb: 'çok yaşayan bilmez, çok gezen bilir.' It means: Not the person who lives long, but the person who has travelled much has knowledge. We hope to welcome you again to explore more of Turkey's diverse landscapes, cities and cultures.

  Aren't we doing activities in Istanbul that day before the flight? Stop for a lunch break at the Turkish restaurant. After lunch the route leads to the Grand Spice Bazaar, where you can find everything from local food and spices to souvenirs such as evil eyes totems. After the tour transfer to Istanbul Airport for a domestic flight to Cappadocia (not included). Upon arrival, transfer from the airport and check in to your hotel in Cappadocia.
