5 Stars! We didn't realize this would be a private tour when we signed up, but it was fabulous! Our guide Deniz was very welcoming and told us we could be flexible about the schedule according to our interests. We chose to spend more time visiting Gobekli Tepe and the related museums. Deniz was very knowledgeable and personable, and attended to all of our needs, including translating from Turkish when needed, addressing problems at hotels, and even negotiating in markets on our behalf. Driver Hamza was not only expert but also concerned for our daily comfort, including smoothly navigating windy roads, slowing down for every bump, and managing our luggage. Despite some initial concerns, we experienced no issues at all as Americans traveling in southeast Turkiye during the Iran war, and several police and local business owners wanted to take their pictures with us to show others that westerners feel safe there. Overall, we recommend the tour wholeheartedly. Greg Eyring and Heidi KaiglerShow more

Our Cappadocia getaway was brilliant. From organising a slightly truncated itinerary and our flights, to the experience on the ground, we could not fault Emre and Emoji Tourism. Our guide Deniz and driver Hamza were absolutely top flight; very professional and informative, and just good company. Deniz’s grasp of the Cappadocia region and its long history, as well as the history of Türkiye in general, was phenomenal, matched only by his passion for presenting it to us. As well as the natural and historic wonders of the region, the balloon flight was utterly breathtaking. Our accommodation at Uchisar, at the foot of the castle, was an exceptional choice. Could not recommend Emoji Tourism (and Deniz) more highly.Show more

The experience from start to finish was awesome. We were picked up on time at our hotel, we checked in at the airport, flew to Cappadocia with no problems. A little delay getting picked up at the airport, but after wandering around a bit, the driver came running to meet us with his sign. The tour was amazingly executed by Faruk. He showed us all the highlights of the area, and gave us an amazing history lesson along the way. The backstory of why these caves existed was fascinating. The hotel room was over the top with amazing breakfasts. Our tour included lunches as well which were provided by various area restaurants, each one better than the other. Faruk got to know us and our interests along the way, and would customize the activities to our liking. He was an encyclopedia of knowledge and a true gentleman. We would request him in a heartbeat for this or other tours in Turkey. The tour ended with an uneventful flight home and a pleasant ride back to the hotel. It was only two nights and three days, but it seemed like we accomplished so much in such a short time. Thanks Faruk and Tourradar for an enlightening time.Show more
