Things to do in Goreme Open Air Museum

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

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!

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!)

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.

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!

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

Amazing experience all-in-one tour of Cappadocia. So much too see and if money isn’t an issue for you, this tour is highly recommended. It covers as much as all the necessary activities and not too long as well. Hotel is great and don’t expect so much as it’s a cave hotel but it fits the vibe of Cappadocia. Breakfast was great too. All guides were great.

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.
