Cappadocia is wonderful - Tour was great and Cappadocia was spectacular! The 3 day tour required many parts to come together to make this a wonderful and memorable time. All of the parts came together flawlessly and we moved through each day without effort. The hotel booked for us was a quiet delightful hotel (Sedirli Konak hotel) which was very comfortable and we enjoyed it greatly. The day tours of the region were interesting and we saw a variety of things, including the experience of walking through an underground city. The highlight was the balloon ride. Fantastic! I am thankful to all the teams for giving us this ‘bucket list’ experience.

Red Tour only Partially Covered - I rate this as terrible. I understand the Balloon ride is cancelled due to bad weather, but the Red Tour which is part of my package is not completely covered. Derinkuyu Underground City, Uchisar Castle and Ihlara Valley were not shown. I demand refund for that as well.
