      Gail

      Traveler•Written August 2024

      We would like to do the Hot Air Balloon over Cappadocia and probably a couple of other tours too, do we book those before we arrive?

    • G

      Gail

      Traveler•Written August 2024

      We will need to organise the two transfers from the airport at Cappadocia to the hotel I believe?

    • Dorak ToursOperator•Written August 2024

      All airport transfers (including between the airport and hotel) as well as intercity transfers are included in your tour. Optional excursions (such as the Cappadocia hot air balloon ride) can be booked during tour. It is advisable to book these excursions during your tour as balloon rides are weather-dependent and it is more reliable to arrange them on-site.

    Janet

    Asked on August 24th, 2024

    Where is the traditional Turkish hamman? What business? And is there any free time built into the tour? I just want to verify that I will have a single room as a solo traveller.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Dorak ToursOperator•Written August 2024

      We can arrange hammam in Istanbul on your arrival day. Of course it depends on to your arrival time. The place is Sarnıç SPA in Old City. We can arrange a single room for you. But please note that there is short time to tour. And we are working on the bookings with hotels. October is a high season. As my recommendation, you should decide a bit fast.

    • J

      Janet

      Traveler•Written August 2024

      I am currently researching flights and will probably stay over another day of two after the tour so I can enjoy the hamman at my leisure.

    • Dorak ToursOperator•Written August 2024

      This tour might be not happen on November because of low demand. Just let me know later about your final decision.
