Very knowledgeable and friendly guide for a tour of a beautiful and rich landscape. There's a bit too much "shopping" for our tastes, but others on the tour seemed to enjoy it. We just liked seeing, learning, and walking. Also, -1 because we left something on the tour bus which the tour operator said they would try to return to us, but we never heard back from them again.

The guide mert was absolutely amazing, hut we only visited 4 sites on first day and 5 sites in second day, and it was filled with visits to “shops”, which was not mentioned in the itinerary at all, and not visiting all the sites in the description is false advertisement, so beware before you book this tour,

I highly recommend this tour. Umit, our guide, was very nice, funny, knowledgeable, and willing to explain everything, which made us enjoy the tour even more. He was also very patient with us, as my mom is elderly and has a hard time breathing, he was constantly stopping and giving her time to rest, making sure she was alright all the time. I couldn't recommend it enough. An amazing way to see Cappadocia in all its glory. P.S.: We could do without the stop in the expensive leather factory.

Our tour guides Ahmet and Umit, along with our transportation driver Mustafa were amazing. They taught us a lot, they were enjoyable, and they had great enthusiasm. You could tell how much they admire the location and enjoy their job. I would high recommend this tour if you are short on time and want to make the most of your Cappadocia trip.
