Cappadocia Tours in November 2026

We had a GREAT time on this tour and highly recommend it to anyone considering Turkey as a vacation destination. Our tour guide, Nadir, and our driver Mustafa, were so knowledgeable and friendly, kind and went out of the way to accommodate any special requests or needs. Turkey is a beautiful country, rich in history and culture. This tour should be on everyone's "must-do" list!

A totally unique landscape which is a "Must See" if you want something different. The walks are mostly in valleys and are easy. We've never seen so many caves! This is the true way to see Turkey and meet the people, who are very friendly and welcoming. Don't expect to loose weight though - the traditional food is very tasty and plentiful!

We arrived in Cavusin after 2 flights, with Turkish airways, that were on time, comfortable and with good food.Our hotel 'Green Hotel', was just opposite a 'fairy chimney' of incredible beauty. Our room wasn' t the better one that the Hotel had but it was nevertheless comfortable with ensuite shower.The people there did their utmost to welcome us and the new chef's food was glorious. Our guide Omer was a lovely fellow,with a good sense of humor, good English and with plenty of knowledge of the local history. The walks were varied and interesting, not tiring at all and we were lucky to have wonderfully warm days with blue skies. For me the best of the walks were through the red valley and Ihlara valley ,my wife also liked the first one very much :the Akvadi and up to Uchisar: spectacular views at the top !But we both were thrilled with our first Hot Air balloon flight, in perfect weather with a perfectionist Pilot that landed the basket onto the waiting trailer!!! Amazing.

My fifth trip with Explore — good trip overall but not their best. The guide Alkan was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the culture, which was great. Meals were good, and Alkan was very attentive and ensured we were always well cared for at food, drink, and other locales. We walked much less than what was advertised, and when someone pointed it out, it seems several of the trails had been forgotten or left out incidentally, which is my primary reason for giving 3 stars. Fascinating landscapes. This trip could have been a couple days shorter without losing anything, but the travel logistics probably make that unrealistic. Anyway, it was still enjoyable and I’ll be back for more trips in the future!

All the scenery is the same - therefore, a 3 day itinerary would have been ideal. Explore did not have our final itinerary 14 days in advance as promised. We had to contact Explore which should not have been required.

Do your research, hotel ratings in US are different than Turkey. Give info on interests and research the places they are sending you. We needed to make our expectations and wants clearer to help them help us, otherwise they will send you on a private trip that is the same as the big busses.
