Things to do in Kaymakli Underground City

Our tour guide BB was so friendly and kind. She answered many of our questions and even taught us some Turkish! Her English was very clear and slowly spoken, so even as a Japanese person, I was able to understand easily! The tour content and the places we visited were wonderful, but I just wish we had a bit more free time to relax. (Since it was only about 20 minutes, we couldn't quite see everything in the larger areas and had to reluctantly head back to the meeting point...) This tour was such a lifesaver around Cappadocia, where public transportation is limited! I was also happy that we could choose from traditional Turkish dishes to vegan options for lunch! (My photos aren't great, but besides the main dish, it came with a salad, soup, bread, and dessert, while drinks were extra!) Group size: 18 people

It was smooth, exciting, with the right amount of time to spend, as well as some given free time to explore the sites. The attractions are close together, which made the rides enjoyable. I liked that it wasn't a big group. My tour guide, Rabía, is great, professional, informative, and she always checked on us. I really appreciated her. The buffet-style lunch was fresh and tasty. Just one thing was out of the itinerary written here: we had a quick stop for a complimentary Turkish food and coffee tasting session at a store, which I didn't mind because I didn't feel any pressure to shop. It was lovely that they offered you a deal after the tasting and prior to your browsing at the store. The customer service team of this tour was good as well, and the response time was reasonably quick. I do encourage you to reach out to them first about the arrangement via the contact info they provided here.

Overlooking Cappadocia's iconic "fairy chimney" rock formations in Göreme, and exploring the underground cities and rock-cut caves, you'll feel as if you're traveling through history and natural wonders. From a high vantage point, these rock formations and caves, sculpted by time, resemble an alien landscape. Stepping into thousand-year-old rock ruins and underground cities, and gazing out through narrow rock-cut windows, you'll witness history and nature converging to create a breathtaking scale. In the afternoon, a stroll through the towering trees offers a refreshing escape as cool stream water flows beneath your feet, instantly washing away the dry heat. Surrounded by flocks of geese and ducks in the pond, and encountering a sudden close-up from a roadside cat—beyond the grand scenery, these lively and heartwarming small moments become the gentlest footnotes of the day.

Feyzan our guide is super accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable, we really enjoy the trip!

Our guide, Tamer-san was extremely knowledgeable about the tourist sites, spoke excellent Japanese, had a great sense of humor, and showed wonderful kindness and consideration toward travelers. He also made many fun and thoughtful suggestions that truly made our Cappadocia sightseeing experience unforgettable. Thank you very much. I would highly recommend him to Japanese tourists visiting Cappadocia.

Super seamless transfer from Istanbul to cappadocia (from pick up to flights to hotel and back). Had 2 different guides for each day: one guide was exceptionally good, the other was less so). Price is good value for the convenience, but if you book the balloon ride from an outside vendor can be much cheaper. The hotel/cave was good, but the itinerary listed a nicer hotel, that was a bit disappointing. Food can also be a bit better.

Thanks to the travel agency's thoughtful arrangements, every part of the itinerary was well-planned. The guide in Ephesus was the most patient and professional throughout the trip, and deserves special praise. Pamukkale was beautiful, and the sea in Kusadasi was stunning – I'd love to visit again. The coastal waterfalls in Antalya were absolutely gorgeous, and Cappadocia's unique landscape was unforgettable. Our fellow travelers were also very nice. Looking forward to our next gathering! Thumbs up!
