Things to do in Uchisar Castle

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.

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.

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

The day tour was very well organised, with timely service and excellent assistance throughout. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Everything was handled smoothly and on time. The lunch provided was decent, but I think there should be better options for vegetarians. Rest I would recommend this day tour!

I recently participated in the Cappadocia Red Tour, and to put it simply, I was completely satisfied. Cappadocia is vast, with many places requiring travel by car, and this tour took us to many wonderful spots at a reasonable price. Our Turkish guide was fantastic, explaining things with humorous jokes in Korean, which made my solo trip very enjoyable. The included buffet lunch offered a variety of dishes, and considering everything that was included, I believe it was an incredibly cost-effective trip. I highly recommend this tour to other Koreans!

jacob is very good and professional tour guide, sharing all the historical background and context to us at every attractions interestingly. highly worth it to join this tour to have a deep understanding of cappadocia. coach is comfortable. buffet lunch is great with many options.

Although it was originally scheduled to be an English tour, perhaps because it was Silver Week and the only guests were Japanese, we were assigned a Japanese-speaking guide, which made for a wonderful tour. The guide was very fluent in Japanese, and we gained a lot of new knowledge! Midway through, they even made an unscheduled stop in Avanos, where we were able to observe the process of making pottery and plates, and do some shopping (no forced purchases). There was just one minor point (perhaps because we went to Avanos?): the tour was scheduled to end at 4:30 PM, but we didn't return until after 6:00 PM. It was fine for us as we didn't have any plans after the tour, but some members had dinner reservations at 6:30 PM, so the post-lunch portion of the tour felt quite rushed. Given how excellent the explanations were, the schedule management was a bit disappointing. For lunch, we went to a buffet-style restaurant, which was very delicious! (Even water cost extra!)

It was incredibly helpful that they explained everything slowly and carefully in English, making it understandable even for those of us who aren't fluent. They were very flexible and accommodating, and the people we toured with were also kind, making for a truly wonderful experience!

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.
