Ting å gjøre i Red Valley

Det var smidig, spennende, med akkurat passe tid til å tilbringe, samt litt gitt fritid til å utforske stedene. Attraksjonene ligger tett sammen, noe som gjorde turene hyggelige. Jeg likte at det ikke var en stor gruppe. Turlederen min, Rabía, er fantastisk, profesjonell, informativ, og hun sjekket alltid inn med oss. Jeg satte stor pris på henne. Lunsjen i bufféstil var fersk og velsmakende. Bare én ting var utenfor reiseplanen som er skrevet her: vi hadde et raskt stopp for en gratis smaksprøve av tyrkisk mat og kaffe i en butikk, noe jeg ikke hadde noe imot fordi jeg ikke følte noe press til å handle. Det var hyggelig at de tilbød deg et tilbud etter smaksprøven og før du kikket rundt i butikken. Kundeserviceteamet for denne turen var også bra, og responstiden var rimelig rask. Jeg oppfordrer deg til å kontakte dem først angående arrangementet via kontaktinformasjonen de har oppgitt her.

memorable experience. highly recommend, camel handler is so kind

Shuttle car pick up was on time from hotel. The light breakfast provided was delicious. The hot air balloon flight was a great experience too and good value for money with 18 people basket. However, if you choose to fly at Soganli, make sure you allow 5 hours for the entire trip (picked up and then dropped off back to hotel) as Sognali Valley is far away from Goreme, hence the lower price. The only complaints were the shuttle bus was really cold and driver did not turn on heater despite being asked. In addition, we were not told which balloon we will take and had to find out ourselves which was inconvenient. Overall, happy with this booking.

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!)

En veldig verdt opplevelse. Rosendalen var veldig vakker med solnedgangen som skinte på toppen. Turlederen sørget for vår sikkerhet og tok mange bilder på forskjellige steder.

Jacob er en veldig god og profesjonell turguide, som deler all den historiske bakgrunnen og konteksten med oss på en interessant måte ved hver attraksjon. Det er absolutt verdt å bli med på denne turen for å få en dyp forståelse av Kappadokia. Bussen er komfortabel. Buffélunsjen er flott med mange valgmuligheter.

I had an amazing hot air balloon experience. It was smooth from the start, communication was clear with the agency and the transport pickup was punctual too. Also friendly and helpful staff!

Today, I joined a hiking tour of Red Valley and Rose Valley, and it was absolutely the most memorable part of my trip to Turkey! Our guide, Dogukan, led us away from the crowded main paths and onto hidden trails that few tourists know about. The entire journey felt like an adventure, unlike a typical sightseeing hike. The scenery along the way was incredibly diverse, with interwoven red and pink rock formations and giant fairy chimneys everywhere. We even explored some cave churches that very few tourists visit. Dogukan provided detailed explanations of how monks lived and resisted enemies there in ancient times, helping us understand how they practiced their faith in this remote valley. It wasn't just about seeing the sights and taking photos; it gave me a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Cappadocia. Dogukan is very personable and chatty. He skillfully assessed our group's abilities and chose the most suitable route. Along the way, he picked out secluded, stunning viewpoints for us to take photos and arranged breaks at just the right times, making us feel safe and secure throughout the entire trip. The end of the tour was an absolute surprise! Dogukan specially prepared drinks for us and took us to his private sunset viewing spot, where we could enjoy our drinks and quietly admire the Cappadocia sunset without having to jostle with crowds of tourists for a good view. This tour was completely different from standard, run-of-the-mill sightseeing tours; it was full of novelty and the joy of discovery from start to finish. If you want to avoid the crowds and deeply explore Cappadocia's unique landscape and monastic history, you absolutely must choose Dogukan! If I ever have the chance to revisit Cappadocia in the future, I will definitely seek him out again to guide me on more undiscovered routes.

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