Long day, but overall great experience

Fatima_K, Jul 2022

The Cave hotel was a unique experience. Enjoyed our stay there. The employees treated us like family. The balloon ride was amazing. I would just allow participants to have a break period to recover from the early 4 am balloon ride and tour.

Better instructions...

Phillip_A, May 2022

Better instructions needed when meeting the shuttle at Istanbul airport upon return from Cappadocia. Once we finally met the driver he didn’t speak English and could not understand we needed the heat in the shuttle turned off. We roasted all the way back to our hotel

The guide was awesome!...

Farheen_G, Feb 2022

The guide was awesome! Cella was his name and he was awesome and knowledgeable. But our ballon ride was cancel and when I booked the tour they should have mentioned that.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Dear Farheen, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience!! The whole team puts a lot of work to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible. You had told "Awesome" for our tour guide and gave 3 stars because of the cancellation of the hot air balloon ride on your travel date. As you know, the tour companies can not control weather conditions. Also, civil aviation authority department of Turkish government decide about that, not private companies such as our company. This is about the safety measures and block the accident cases. We are EXACTLY inform this on the section of "Additional Info" on this tour page. There is a information paragraph like that : "Hot air ballooning is a fully weather-dependent activity and the Civil Aviation Authority determines whether the flight will be held. If your flight is cancelled due to inclement weather conditions, you are entitled to a partial refund. In such a case, your refund will be processed by the day after of that trip." We think, you did not read carefully while booking the tour. Your this unreal vote will affect the reservations of our tour, but no problem. Kind Regards

Cappadocia tour

Javier_N, Oct 2021

The tour was amazing . everything very well coordinated. The only thing I didn't like was that we stopped to some places that only wants to sell thing to us. That is a waste of time. The rest amazing.
