This tour has most of the... - This tour has most of the highlights of Cappadocia. If you're short on time, you could just do this tour and do the Underground Cities separately. Our tour guide Ali is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and we had a great experience from pick up to drop off.

Wonderful experience - Wonderful tour in Cappadocia. Our guide Kerim was very knowledgeable and willing to share his knowledge with us. I could feel that he was passionate about his job and I learned a lot from this tour. He was also very accommodating to our requests. I really enjoyed the tour and would recommend to anyone who will travel to Cappadocia.

Good experience! - We booked Cappadocia 2 days tour from Antalya. It had one night stay in Cappadocia.
Our guide was MURAT. He was extremely knowledge & courteous. Answered all our questions passionately. Though the driving distance is quite a lot. ...we took frequent breaks. The food they provided on the way was reasonably good.
Unfortunately the dinner provided by Akusun 3* hotel could be much better. It was very little with hardly any choice.There was no water in the room
We booked additional activities of Hot Air Balloon ride and Turkish night.
Hot air balloon was ok as a one time experience...may not want to repeat it as the prices may be very high sometimes.
Turkish night is a ' must-do' experience.
It is a dance & music extravaganza in a huge restaurant. The dancers are fabulous and they make you experience even the old style etnic Turkish wedding with a lot of spectator participation.
A special kudos to the belly dancer who really entertained everyone. Alcoholic & non alcoholic drinks were included in the price.
This tour was conducted by Beydagli tours
Overall it was a good experience

Red tour & Green tour - We took part in the two day-long tours with pick up at 10.00 am and return around 5.00 pm.
Red tour took us to a panoramic point above Goreme, visit of about 1 hour and a half to the Goreme open air museum (dark church entrance fee extra but worth it), buffet lunch included in the tour (drinks not included), visit to a shop that produces artisanal ceramics with demonstration and possibility to purchase (beautiful but absolutely out of budget), panoramic point, Imagination Valley and return.
Green tour, longer and further away, took us to another scenic spot in Uchisar, visit to the beautiful underground city of Kaymakli (one of the three most important in
Cappadocia, with long tunnels where you proceed crouching on the ground, not very suitable if you are claustrophobic), transfer to the Ihlara Valley, where we had lunch on the water (drinks not included), and then took a walk in the valley and had a drink in a place with tables in the stream. On the way back, stop at a company that produces jewellery, with the possibility of purchasing. Finally I return around 6.15pm.
Same guide for the two days, good and friendly, spoke good English.
Both tours are recommended.

Informative and enjoyable day tour - This day tour was such a good idea, and our guide Edip (Edi) made it so informative and interesting. I had been to Goreme before, but was with friends who were visiting for the first time. For me it was great to revisit the open air museum and to be driven by some places I had not yet seen (including a clay / pottery demonstration and the Usichar Castle area). It was very hot outside, so being able to get into an air conditioned vehicle to drive to different points prevented us from getting exhausted. It was well paced, and Edi provided so much information (in perfect English) on the drives and in the walking tour areas. I strongly recommend that you fit this into your visit so that you better understand the history of the place as well as the present-day concerns. Lunch and time for a beverage is fit into the tour. The only part I did not care for was the visit to the leather clothing shop, but they were not at all pushy about selling us anything, so even that part of the trip was fine. During the trip, we were able to visit the inside of someone's cave dwelling, and it was a real treat to see this kind of home. At the end of the tour I accidentally miscalculated the Turkish lire (thought I was giving euros) and later realized I gave Edi an appallingly low tip! He definitely deserved better; he was our best tour guide in all of Turkey.

Cappadocia Wonders - The only reason why I did not give this tour a 4 is because the description of what’s included was confusing. Uchisar Castle admission was noted as included but when we got there we were the tour did not include going in. I spoke with the tour guide, who was very patient and kind, and told him the description needed to be better. However, the rest of the tour was fantastic!

Hate the forced sales pitches - Nice day and nice tour minus the forced pottery sales pitch. Waste of time and would rather spend that time at the other rushed spots or get home earlier.
