What would you rate on the hike 1 to 10 from difficulty or easy walk?

We've graded the walks on our tour of Cappadocia as moderate - you should have a good level of fitness and ideally have prior hiking experience to take part. Some routes have occasional, short sections of steep ascent or descent. All of the treks follow undulating trails and the terrain can be rocky and loose in places, particularly on the ascents and descents.

How fit do I have to be for this Tour?

Walking grade: Moderate. Walks on 6 days for between 2.5 - 6 hours each day. The trails are generally on well trodden paths and are gently undulating or following the course of a valley with some occassional steeper sections. Total distance: 73 kilometres. Max walking altitude: 1400 meters.

Which International airport is best to fly into? Once at International airport, how do i get to Kayseri Airport (ASR)? Do you offer "Single supplement"? if so, what is the cost? On Day 8, what is the cost of transfer to ASR airport? Do you offer Vegetarian option?

We offer free airport transfer to Kayseri Airport (ASR), which is around a one-hour drive away. Single supplement is $330. On day 8 your airport transfer is included in the package price. We offer vegetarian option.

I'm interested in Cappadocia tour. Do you have a single room option (how much) or do singles share a room (how do you choose people for shared rooms)? When do you start and finish (time) your tour? Can I get more information about instalment payments?

We have single room options. While travelling alone you can choose either to share a TWIN room with someone else (with another lady) or pay single supplement (£245) and have your own room. The Tour Leader plans to meet the group in the hotel reception at 6pm for the welcome meeting. The trip starts in Goreme and ends after breakfast at the hotel in Goreme on day 8.
