Sunset tour with dinner - Selim was a wonderful guide - he is very knowledgeable on Cappadocia and the evolution of the area. The tour took in the sunset at Rose Valley as well as going to castles. Dinner was in an authentic Turkish restaurant and was very tasty! Selim has perfect English and is a great narrator! Would recommend Selim and this tour highly.
