Prehliadky 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

Tentokrát som sa zúčastnil prehliadky Cappadocia Red Tour a hneď na úvod poviem, že som bol úplne spokojný. Kappadokia je rozsiahla oblasť s mnohými miestami, kam sa treba presúvať autom, a za primeranú cenu nás zaviezli na mnoho úžasných miest. Miestny turecký sprievodca nám zábavne vysvetľoval veci v kórejčine a žartoval, takže aj keď som cestoval sám, mohol som si prehliadku užiť. Obed zahrnutý v prehliadke bol formou bufetu, takže som mohol ochutnať rôzne jedlá. Keď vezmem do úvahy, že toto všetko bolo zahrnuté v cene, myslím si, že to bol výlet s vynikajúcim pomerom ceny a kvality. Kórejčania, túto prehliadku odporúčam!! Haha.

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 je veľmi dobrý a profesionálny sprievodca, ktorý nám na každej atrakcii zaujímavo priblížil všetky historické súvislosti a kontext. Určite sa oplatí pripojiť sa k tejto prehliadke, aby ste hlbšie pochopili Kappadokiu. Autobus je pohodlný. Obed formou bufetu je skvelý s mnohými možnosťami.

Boli sme veľmi vďační, že nám všetko vysvetlili pomaly a zdvorilo po anglicky, aby sme to pochopili, aj keď naša angličtina nie je najlepšia 😊. Boli veľmi flexibilní a prispôsobiví, a ľudia, s ktorými sme boli, boli tiež milí, takže to bol naozaj skvelý zážitok!

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.
