The balloon tour is inspiring! - I didn't plan my trip properly, so I went to Istanbul and asked to tour Cappadocia. This travel agency worked so hard to come up with a plan that I was able to take a wonderful balloon tour. However, it is strongly recommended to bring cash as prices in Turkey are soaring and using a credit card can add fees.

Great service. - My original tour provider on Viator canceled the tour at the last moment, forcing me to scramble to find another agency that could provide the same Cappadocia tour for the days I had planned. Huseyin, from another travel agency, came to our rescue. He promptly arranged the entire tour and sent me the flight tickets. He provided the pickup location, the driver's phone number, and gave instructions for every step of the trip. Even at midnight, he checked in to see how our trip was going. The accommodations and local tour were great. Although the itinerary states that it is a group tour limited to 19 people, there were only four of us during the two days of the trip. The English-speaking guides were very nice and knowledgeable. Huseyin ensured we returned home to the US safely. I call it taking care of the customers from beginning to end. The only disappointment was that the balloon ride was canceled due to high winds. However, Huseyin promptly refunded the fare in two days.

Nice place to visit. - Great experience. It's one of a kind place to visit. The cave hotel was a new experiance but the maintenance was poor. The guides were prompt, very knowledgeable and professional. We got an opportunity to taste different foods. The breakfast was like a big feast.The pickup and drop off from the hotel was seemless but takes about fifty minutes one way. The only disappointment was they cancelled the balloon ride because of winds. I strongly recommend good walking shoes. Going through thr under ground village is a bit exhaustive and in some cases walk through small openings but it's worth the trouble.

Worst it is not possible - We could not do the flight in the air balloon because of weather reasons and that was our motivation to do this activity but, the worst was that they changed the time of our fllight and they did not consult us. Be careful with this because we arrived in Stambul at 2.00 a.m. They sell you that the returning flight is at 20.35 p.m. but it is not real, after they give you a cheaper flight that leaves from Capadocia iver 23.00 p.m.
