Cappadocia 9-Day Tours and Trips

This trip was fab, Cappadocia has an incredibly rare landscape that feels as if you are somewhere out of this world. The walks were varied and a lot greener than I thought they would have been, although you will have definitely seen Cappadocia in depth by the time you leave. You stay just outside of the main tourist town of Goreme which is nice because it's away from the hustle and bustle. I travelled in the last week of May so had some warmer days and some wetter, cooler ones but on a whole we were very lucky with the weather.

Aycuk was a superb leader. He was very organised and gave clear and detailed instructions about the walk, the terrain, meeting times etc so everything ran smoothly. He was very knowledgeable and gave us the right amount of information about Cappadocia and what we were seeing etc. He was happy to answer any questions and give more details when asked. He was attentive and checked we were all ok and even suggested alternative ways to shorten or adapt walks and arranged transport. He had a sense of humour and went above and beyond what was expected of a tour leader. I would certainly recommend the trip and his leadership.

A very enjoyable holiday with not to harduous walks. You soon get used to the early morning calls provided by the call to morning prayer and low flying hot air balloons.

This was a very good trip and most enjoyable. The scenery was weird and wonderful and the rock-cut dwellings and churches were always interesting. The walking was of modest pace and duration but, in view of the very hot weather and strong sun, this was fine. One needed to be quite sure-footed on some of the steeper descents and I suspect that these would not suit everyone. I would maybe have liked a bit more variety in the walks, most of which were along valley floors. The hotel was excellent and did a great breakfast every morning. Our tour leader and guide, Aykut, did a very good job, as did our somewhat taciturn driver. The one included dinner was very disappointing; there seemed to be nothing local or characterful about the restaurant and the food was poor. Our brief visits to the underground city and the Goreme open-air museum seemed unpleasantly busy and touristy after the relative solitude of the walking. Perhaps some alternative sites, a little off the beaten track, could be found instead? The tour group was large (15) but full of interesting people and everyone got along well.

Mi amiga y yo decidimos pasar por Capadoccia durante nuestro viaje a Estambul. Para recorrer los lugares mas interesantes de la ciudad decidimos contratar a un guOa espaÐol con Tour Altikum Travel. AllO conocimos a Ilyas. Nos sorprendiN cNmo aprendiN espaÐol tan bien y en tan solo 5 meses! Con _l conocimos la historia de Capadoccia y la formaciNn de sus famosas chimeneas de ls hadas, tomamos t_ de manzana, nos reOmos y, ademas, nos hizo unas fotos y unos videos espectaculares para instagram. Sin duda, un guOa mas que recomendable. My friend and I decided to visit Capadoccia during our trip to Istanbul. We want to visit the most interesting places in the city, so we decided to pay to Spanish guide. There we met Ilyas. It's amazing how he learned Spanish so well in just 5 months! He saw to us about the history of Capadoccia and the famous fairy chimneys, the several caves, we drank apple tea, laughed and he took many pictures to our instagramsome spectacular photos and videos for instagram.

Truly awesome place. Challenging in places but a great way to push yourself and achieve. Great guide, so knowledgeable. We had lessons in Language, Religion, Geology, Politics, History and Turkey. Nobody passed the 'exams'! Lots of fun and laughter.
