Istanbul to Cappadocia by flight with an overnight cave hotel, guided Green and Red Tours, transfers, meals, and pottery demo.

“First the operator did not provide the hotel pick up which was agreed and then the cancelled the hot air balloon ride without any really clear explanation. They said the weather was not good which just was not true. N.B. I hold a SPL Pilots licence and can read the weather very well. So no room for interpretation on my side. Official GAFOR (general aviation) weather report for the region was ok. The alternative program which should serve as replacement for the hot air balloon ride was lousy. DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM and find a honnest and serious company.”

“Josh was very communicative, punctual and thoughtful when it came to tailoring the two days of touring to me. His historical knowledge was excellent and he was able to tune to the level of detail I was looking for. I'm a fast paced walker and like to see lots during a day and we were able to accomplish that. We were able to skip the line for most of the venue entries and otherwise having a native speaker was invaluable when buying tickets or understanding security screening requirements. I also received some great recommendations for after the day's agenda that saved me hours of my own research.”
