Unforgettable Cappadocia Adventure with Outstanding Support from Old City Travel (Azmi) - The "2 Days Cappadocia Tour" organized by Old City Travel was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience was flawlessly executed, and a huge part of that was thanks to Azmi’s exceptional support and care throughout the trip. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves, sharing his extensive knowledge and passion for the region with us. Every detail, from the breathtaking hot air balloon ride to exploring the stunning valleys and unique rock formations, was perfectly arranged. Azmi's personal touch and attentiveness made the tour feel truly special. Highly recommended!

Great organization and invigorating experience - We had a great experience with this tour. First of all, organization and scheduling was impeccable. Once we booked the tour with TAS Turkey Travel, Huseyin was in touch, sending the itinerary and the details of the upcoming trip via WhatsApp. He sent us a message the day before the trip with the time we will be picked up from our Istanbul hotel and instructions of what to do at the Kayseri airport. The driver was on time (4:15 AM) and took us to the airport. We used our passports to check in and flew to Kayseri . There was a driver at Kayseri waiting for us. Every step was taken care of by Huseyin. We were notified about the next step ahead of time. We did have a small issue, so we texted Huseyin - he responded immediately and took care of it, made sure we understand everything, assured us the we will be OK. The Green and Red Cappadocia tours that were reserved for us by TAS Travel were really great: we saw and experienced many unusual and interesting places. The Green tour was physically demanding. The underground city has some narrow passages that could be challenging for some people. My husband, 6'4" decided not go through the narrowest of them, so he was just waiting for us to come back, but he still was able to go through the bigger passages, ho he didn't feel left out. I, 5'10" went through them while bending in half. The Red tour also has opportunities to climb up those caves, which is challenging, but very invigorating and satisfactory. Yes, we visited gift shops, leather shop, and ceramics shop over the two days, some of it was annoying because they really want you to buy their product, but this was a minor inconvenience. The photo opportunities are endless on both trips. And of course, the balloon flight! It was perfect! One tip: When you arrive to Kayseri, the driver is supposed to take you to the hotel first, but he picks up people from the other flights, so you might be waiting for a long time before he starts driving you. This happened to us and we missed the hotel check in. So we called Huseyin and he arranged for the driver to take us to the first stop of the tour. It was not a big deal, we didn't miss anything. I think if we told the driver that we have an early morning excursion, he would take us to the hotel on time. I recommend this tour with TAS Travel to everyone. We loved it!

Cappadocia is a dream! - perfect. The trip was very interesting. It’s completely different from Istanbul. I loved it. The group was small,they were very friendly, the guides were very professional and helpful. Big love for the hotel very rustic, ancient and at the same time modern by the services provided. Thank you for everything.

Lovely tour. I recommend. - Excellent Tour. The company complied with everything and more. At all times Super punctual. A very special thanks to the great friend Ali, who was our guide, he made the two days completely fun and enriching without cluttering the descriptions with excessive historical data. The hotel they gave us was very picturesque and elegant at the same time, they also upgraded us to a “suite” with all the comforts and fine details. 100% recommendable !!!

Not worth the money - This tour fell far short of my expectations, especially on the second day. The first day was pleasant, with a scenic tour of Cappadocia and its beautiful landscapes. However, the second day was a complete disappointment. I booked the trip hoping for a magical hot air balloon experience, as described—"a panoramic flight over the region’s iconic fairy tale chimneys." Unfortunately, it was nothing like that. The bus arrived late, causing us to miss the sunrise entirely. To make matters worse, we were taken to an unscheduled breakfast stop, further delaying our itinerary. When we finally arrived for the balloon ride, the location was so far from the fairy tale chimneys that we didn’t get to see them at all. Instead, the view was plain and lackluster. The schedule didn’t match what was promised, and the experience felt disorganized. Additionally, there was no "cave hotel" as advertised. I stayed in a stone-themed bed and breakfast, which was nice, but the check-in and check-out times were poorly managed. Upon arriving in Cappadocia, I had no chance to rest due to the late check-in, and the early check-out on the second day left me with hours to fill after the tour, despite having paid for the hotel. I ended up waiting at a travel office, exhausted from the tour. While the tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable, the overall experience was far from worth the price. The tour did not reflect the photos or description at all. If you're considering this trip, save yourself the trouble and book the hotels, flights, tours, and balloon ride independently.

Amazing tour, poor logistics - The tour in Cappadocia was amazing and the tour guide Mr. Ali was informative, cheerful and amazing guy. The Balloon ride had spectacular views with weather favouring us throughout. I had a big issue with the transportation logistics as it was part of the package, yet from cappadocia hotel yo kayseri airport they deviated the agreed timing without flexibility and from Sabeha airport back to hotel, i had to take a taxi on my own accord after waiting for more than 30mins, the driver being a no show and text messages going unanswered
