Hereke travel - green tour - Our tour guide Ali G was knowledgeable, friendly and spoke great English. - provided us with all the historical information per site and answered any additional questions we had - gave us ample time at each location so we didn’t feel rushed at any point - given the heat, adjusted the schedule and order of site visits to ensure we were comfortable avoiding outdoor areas at peak (weather) times and also tried to avoid crowds to give us the best experience.

Highly recommend Asim’s green tour - Asim was an excellent tour guide. He has provided tours in Turkey for over 15 years and is so knowledgeable about the country’s history. He is so patient and thorough. The sites were beautiful, we are really glad we chose our one tour in Cappadocia to be the green tour.

Worthwhile tour. - This was an excellent tour. Asim was our tour leader and he was knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions. He was patient when we were slow or unsure. He had a good sense of humor and a good command of the English language. The churches with the frescos were particularly interesting.

Unforgettable day, Ali was an amazing guide! - The tour was absolutely perfect. Picked up from our hotel, in a lovely air conditioned van, equipped with plenty of cold water. We first visited a great photo spot overlooking the fairy chimneys where our AMAZING guide Ali, look some great photos for us. We moved onto the canyon which was a beautiful walk, not strenuous at all. Ali’s knowledge, and time in explaining everything was fabulous. The whole 8 of us spent the whole day laughing at his jokes. The Monetary was just amazing, with such rich history. We concluded the tour with the underground city, which too had an amazing history. Ali made everyone feel comfortable and happy to participate in venturing into the narrow and short tunnels of the city. Truly an unforgettable day, and super happy we had such an awesome guy for a guide! 100% recommend!

Your day will be made if you get to spend it with Ali! - I asked Ali at one of the stops, have you always been a tour guide? Because you are born to do this job! Sometimes a long day on a tour with lots of stops can get boring or tiring but Ali had the whole group cracking up laughing and engaging all day. We all had jokes with him by the end, he knew everyone’s name off the bar and included everyone to make us all have a great day. Very informative without overbearing too much info. The bus was extremely comfortable with A/C, USB ports and free cold water all day! THANKS ALI AND HEREKE!
