This was my first tour with Explore and i was thrilled with my experience. Everything was perfect, the accommodation definitely exceeded my expectations, the guide was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and flexible to the individual needs of our group members. The itinerary and sights that we saw were perfect - we had a truly immersive experience of Cappadocia, but with enough free time to get those extra things ticked off too.
