“Buyer Beware!!! The itinerary clearly states walking along the river. However, when we asked to go down the guide said this wasn’t included in the tour. Also you don’t visit the ferry chimneys and take an extra stop at a shop before dropoff… we missed sunset. I would definitely book a different tour. When we spoke to Viator they contacted the tour operator and claimed the government closed walking along the river. However we saw people walking along it. Disappointed in Viator and this tour operator.”

She provided us very brief descriptions of locations we were traveling to. When I asked her a question, one of her response was ‘didn’t I tell this already?’”

“The Red Historical Tour of Cappadocia was definitely interesting but not child or aged family friendly in certain parts. There was expected than longer treks involved with a toddler and aged parents which we would not have gone through with had we known earlier. Our tour guide also wasn't very happy with the fact that there were members in the group tour who were making it slower. If so , shouldn't have advised this tour as child friendly with moderate amount of walking involved in the description , especially for tourists who have never been to Cappadocia before.”

Book a shared airport transfer from Kayseri Airport to your Cappadocia hotel in Göreme. A driver meets you outside the terminal with a name board, helps with luggage, and drives you by air-conditioned minibus for about 60 to 75 minutes. The service is for domestic flights and may include a wait while other passengers arrive.

“We didn’t realized it was shared transfer. We we off the plane and out in 10 min after the plane landed. Had to wait 45+ for the rest of the other two groups! Apparently, the last family took their time as they had a baby and even stopped for a smoke before getting into the van. Our return trip to the airport was way early so it was just us and it was great! Driver picked us up 5 min early from scheduled time and we didn’t have to wait for anyone. Maybe the company should consider separating guests with carryons and guests with checked bags as the difference in…”

“I’m glad I chose this tour among so many options. Our guide Irem was very knowledgeable with strong storytelling skills. The small group and relaxed pace made the tour engaging and comfortable. I learned meaningful stories behind these fascinating places, not just facts. He showed real passion for the history and culture of the land, and the short quiz at the end was nice to help us remember what we learned. At the shopping stops, the staff introduced their products clearly and professionally, with no pressure to buy. It was nice to learn about local products I normally wouldn’t research, and to support local businesses during the low season. The…”
