Gary | Traveled in December
ACCOMODATION SOBEK STONE HOUSE Very comfortable, warm & cosy for the colder winter months. Indoor pool, variable temperature but ideal for a relaxing dip or short lengths after a long day. Bar & restaurant good for snacks & drinks. Staff extremely efficient & courteous. Location perfect for access to town without the noise & hubbub. Noisy dogs are part of the course in this area. Great view of balloons from terrace. ITINERARY Walks are all not too demanding, meaning you can concentrate on the scenery & there's bags of that. Variety from rock formations to interesting towns & slot canyons. Highlights are the Fairy Chimneys & the Petra-esque churches and houses hacked out of the rocks. Expect some challenges in the way of mud, water & sheepy smells. It's all part of the experience. GROUP Probably the best one yet, in quite a few years of using Explore. Not a diva in sight & no arguments or schisms which can occur after a few days together. Interesting people doth maketh for a better-eth tour-eth. TOUR LEADER Alkan was brilliant, went the extra mile and then some, to keep us all happy. I took a few photos & was always way behind, but he coped with all our foibles easily. Lots of knowledge without overkill. Loved his daily briefs on a range of eclectic topics. BALLOONS I booked before arriving but then the flights were cancelled for the next 6 days. The company refunded the cost with no problem. I then joined the group for the one arranged by the tour leader. We took off on the last day. It is a spectacle & worth every penny. Ours was Eur 170 paying by card, cheaper by cash.
Ryan D. | Traveled in December
The unique view of Pamukkale and the balloon tour in Cappadocia were unforgettable memories. The food was just according to my taste. Hotels were at an average level. I had travelled to Greece before, so I didn't see anything new there that surprised me, but I was in Turkey for the first time. It is a beautiful country, far above my expectations.
Matt L. | Traveled in December
Everything included by CharlieTheTraveler on this trip was perfect. The breakfasts provided were delicious and a great representation of the cuisine of the Mediterranean area.

Our trip was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Emine, was very knowledgeable and professional. She was so loving to my mother-in-law and children on the tour bus.
