Memorable experience! - We took a red tour on June 30 which originally was a group tour, but during pick up our tour guide informed us we would be the only ones attending. So lucky for us it became a private tour with Melih!
This was hands down one of our favorite activities that we did while in Cappadocia. The red tour takes all day given the sites are far from Göreme so we were glad we did this over the green tour.
The Underground City is truly amazing. To walk through tunnels and cave homes that were once occupied was surreal. These homes were thoughtfully designed and built with kitchens, food storage, and wine cellars. It was all fascinating to see.
The hike through Ihlara Valley was one of the most beautiful hikes I’ve been on. Hiking by the river, exploring cave churches, and having rock caves as your backdrop the entire walk was such an experience we’ll never forget.
And ending with a lunch at Belisirma Restaurant overlooking Ihlara valley while sitting in a picnic hut was a perfect way to finish off the tour.
Melih was the perfect tour guide. He was full of historical facts and genuinely passionate about the community and the history. It added a touch of care to the tour that you don’t normally receive on tours and so we are so grateful to Melih who made this tour even more memorable for us.
We highly recommend this tour! And hopefully you get Melih! :-)

Incredible must have tour… - Our guide Hussein was incredible. He was so knowledgeable and hospitable. I loved the geographic and historical elements of the tour - as Hussein took his time explaining the prehistorical and geographical history of these lands, going all the way to the Ottoman era and modern state of Turkey. The tour included museum entrances and a nice lunch.

Professional, Informative, and Punctual – Highly Recommended! - Husain was our tour guide for the trip, and he was incredibly knowledgeable. He shared detailed, step-by-step information throughout the journey, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. Our driver, Ali, was also fantastic—very patient and always punctual with every pick-up and drop-off. Both made our trip smooth and memorable. Highly recommended!

Aldag Ceramic not honest - If you take this tour be very careful when they take you to ALDAG CERAMIC. They have some beautiful things there but the people there are not honest. I bought a ceramic piece that was going to be shipped to me. All shipping costs were to be included in the price as was written in the contract. When they came to deliver it the shipping company wanted $220 or they couldn't deliver it. I tried contacting ALDAG CERAMIC but got no response.
