Best tour guide Azad! - The tour was extremely organized and everyone from the airport pickup to tour guide are of exceptional quality. First, our flight got delayed and was rebooked to a complete different flight. We were already stressed about all the changes but the company was so accommodating and changed the pickup time instantly. Also, our airport pickup driver (sorry didn’t catch his name!) was super nice and even went above and beyond to help us collect the suitcase from the airport the next day since it didn’t make it with our flight. Then, of course, our tour guide Azad elevated the trip to a whole new level. He’s extremely knowledgeable, amiable and the level of detail he has with his customer is impressive. He is one of the best (if not the best) tour guides we have ever met so I’ll go on any trip again with him in a heartbeat! Overall, really recommend anyone who’s going to Turkey to book with this company! :)

Great tour!!! Wonderful people - Everyone visiting Cappadocia should consider taking a tour with Gorgeous Travel. Not only was the company itself incredibly accommodating (they allowed us to reschedule our private tour with an hour’s notice due to my fiancé’s food poisoning), but the tour itself was wonderful and informative! Our guide, Azad, was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. He struck the right balance between accompanying us to the locations and teaching us the history, and giving us time to explore on our own. He was very approachable and we had wonderful conversations not only about the history of Cappadocia, but also life in Turkey. He also planned the day perfectly, and we were fortunate enough to explore the underground cities (a highlight of the day) with almost no other tourists! Every stop on the trip was enjoyable. Don’t miss a chance to have a great experience with Gorgeous Travel!

I would remember this tour because Azat made it memorable - Our tour guide - Azat was very knowledgeable about the history, which made our tour very interesting and worthwhile. He spent a lot of time explaining the history at each of our tour destinations today. He was patient with our big group of 11 people.

Highly recommended - I recently took private 2 day tour plus hot air balloon ride with this company and am so glad I used them. In my opinion, a good tour agency starts with good communication and the lady in the office is very good at that. My guide AZAT was waiting for me at the airport and we started whirlwind tour of Cappadocia region in 2 full days. I couldn't believe he has never studied overseas but still memorizes Obama's speech by heart. That's the standard of talent Turkey has. He was dedicated, was very knowledgeable about the sites that we visited, and very flexible and accommodating to our schedule. We were in Cappadocia only 36 hours but covered mist major sites. We were shocked when we heard that we were going to be picked up at 3 45 am for the hot air balloon ride but now we know why. We were up in the air by 5am and what an amazing sunrise did we see! Highly recommend this company for touring Cappadocia and balloon ride should not be missed. Cappadocia is a magical place with abundant natural wonders weaved with surprisingly deep Christian history.
