This trip exceeded all my expectations. Cappadocia’s landscapes and friendly and professional team made for an unforgettable experience. Everything was well organized, and we didn’t have any complaints. We were not sure if the trip was worth it, but after seeing Cappadocia, we were so happy that we decided to visit. The scenery is unlike anything I have ever seen. The unusual rock formations, the underground city, and the balloons, everything was pure magic. Recommend it to all who are visiting Istanbul, you won’t regret it!
We decided to see more of Turkey while on our holiday in Istanbul and ended up booking this 2-day tour to Cappadocia. Seeing the fairy chimneys up close was just incredible. We took tons of photos. The hot air balloon ride was a total dream. Floating over that surreal landscape was unforgettable. Staying in the cave hotel was really special too. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly, we learned so much and had a really fun time. I’d definitely recommend this trip!
