See Cappadocia’s underground cities, fairy chimneys, cave villages, and sunrise balloons on a fast-paced two-day tour from Antalya.
“We were picked at 3.15 am and after picking other tourists we were on our way. We reached Cappadocia at about 1 pm. We had a few comfort breaks on the way which didn’t make the journey feel too long. Our guide was also interactive and knowledgeable. On the approach to Cappadocia we were told that if we wanted to do a sunset walk in Rose valley, it will be another €25 pp and to see the balloons rise, it would be another €30 pp. I think since everyone had already travelled for so long, no one wanted to leave without seeing them. Dinner and breakfast at hotel were included…”

“Kadir Kucekeren was absolutely fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and we saved lots of time enjoying Istanbul with him. He knows all the secrets to truly enjoy the city in a safe and efficient manner. He personalized our trip to fit our cultural interests - like Süleymaniye Mosque. He is very caring of his guests; he helped my mother up and down the old city steps. He is a true gentleman and I will always be grateful to him for his patience and understanding.”

“The hotel (Roca Cappadocia) was excellent as was lunch and visits to the sites. Ahmet, our guide, was very helpful and kind, which meant a lot as I was travelling with my children. Cappadocia is a wonderful place, definitely worth the long drive! I would have loved to have some extra time on our own to stroll around Urgup where we stayed and Goreme.”

“A great trip overall, our guide and driver were fantastic and everything went smoothly and according to plan. We saw and did alot in 2 days! Topped it off with the hot air balloon experience - absolutely amazing! Only thing is that we were left to find for ourselves at the end of both days, day 1 - with no real information or guidance on what was around town to explore. Some of us winged it, others missed out. Some information about the end of the day plans / ideas of what to do would be handy. Day 2 - also 2 hours waiting at the hotel on the last…”

Review of a two-day Cappadocia tour from Istanbul with flights, cave hotel, guided sites, underground city, and optional sunrise balloon ride.
“The trip to Capadocia and all the activities were 5 star! Our guide on Day 1 was also a 5 star, but the one on day 2 seemed to not want to be there and didn’t offer too much as far as explanations. My only serious issue is that I had to book the entire package for both my husband and I despite me telling the agent that only myself would be going on the balloon ride. He assured me that portion of the excursion would be refunded, but when I reached out to Viator they said they had no record of that and of course he wouldn’t give it…”
