Good to know

All our guides are licensed by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey and speak the language fluently.
We recommend
Bring comfortable closed-toe shoes for walking in the valleys and underground cities, as well as warm clothing for the morning — it is cool in Cappadocia at sunrise. If you plan to take a hot air balloon flight, book it in advance: in the high 2026 season, spots sell out quickly.

Regardless of the time of year, Antalya offers a variety of recreational opportunities, from historical attractions to beach holidays and active excursions, making it an attractive place to visit at any time of the year.
Antalya, one of the favorite destinations of summer tourism, is full of attractions, historic buildings, beaches, natural beauties and vibrant nightlife. Antalya is one of the first places that comes to mind when it comes to summer holidays, thanks to its blue flag beaches.
Kemer, one of Antalya’s most important tourist destinations, is making itself known for its success in the 2023 season. Between January 1 and October 31, the Kemer district of Antalya received 4,241,925 domestic and foreign tourists from 195 countries. This number was a record, but the most tourists to Kemer came from Russia.
The guide of Cappadocia conducted an individual tour for a family of four. One of the best trips ever! Comfortable car, excellent driver, a delightful guide – Sezai Dogruer. Unlike the coast of Turkey, there are very few Russian-speaking guides in Cappadocia, here you will find the best! We wanted to visit Cappadocia and at the beginning we considered organized tours from the coast, but these are tours where you can see much less than you would like. We began to plan an independent tour Kiev – Kayseri – Goreme (Cappadocia) – Pamukkale – Kemer. There was an unexpected problem with the convenient transfer from Goreme to Pamukkale and on the Internet we found Sezai, who offered much more than a transfer. With him we made an individual tour of Cappadocia and Pamukkale. Sezai arranged a sunrise meeting in a hot air balloon. The routes were made on the basis of red and green tours, a visit to the Zelve Valley was added - it is not included in the standard routes, but we thought it was one of the interesting places and a must-visit (we visited it twice - a walk in the afternoon, and a night laser show). Sezai tried to provide us with maximum comfort - he listened to all our wishes. The guide spent much more time with us than agreed, while always being attentive, responsive, friendly and interesting. After visiting Cappadocia and listening to the guide, you look at the history in a new way, opening its new pages. You are amazed by the creations of nature and man – multi-storey rocky and underground cities built more than a thousand years ago. During the transfer from Goreme to Pamukkale there was an excursion to the city of Konya - a city with more than 4 thousand years of history, the birthplace of Khoja Nasreddin, the mosque and grave of the poet Mevlyana Rumi (founder of the order of derveshes), a box with a fragment of the beard of the Prophet Muhammad. Excursion in Pamukkale - the same was different from the usual excursions, which bring tourists from the coast. In the early morning, when there is no one around, you walk through the well-preserved city (Herapolis), which was abandoned by its inhabitants more than a thousand years ago. We spent three nights in Cappadocia, two nights in Pamukkale and went to the sea. On the way to Kemer, we stopped and climbed on foot to the ancient city of Termessos, in the mountains at an altitude of more than a kilometer above sea level. The most picturesque and interesting place. Unique and unique natural creations, sunrise and hundreds of balloons, snow-white travertines, various ancient cities - it was a delightful and unforgettable tour with indescribable impressions! Thank you very much, Teşekkür ederim, Sezai!
Sezai is an excellent guide, having accompanied us for two days from arriving in Istanbul to heading home from Keiseri Airport. He speaks Russian perfectly, jokes a lot, always helps travelers if you urgently need to contact the hotel, airport, etc. One day in Cappadakia is not enough, of course, if I come again - I will always turn to the same guide! Cesai, thank you!!!
Awesome Cappadocia! Aug. 2018 • Family holidays This is the most incredible and unforgettable journey! Thank you to our guide Cezai! We found the company Esco Tur on the Internet, and agreed to meet on arrival in Gorem. A great guide who knows Cappadocia thoroughly, who is well versed in history, very pleasant in communication, answered all questions, joked with children. Everything is organized at a height: transfer from the hotel, a very tasty lunch, a comfortable minibus. Since we were with the kids (10 years old and 1.9g) and the band is small, Sezai suggested a more interesting version of the green tour, we really liked it, no one was tired! A nice bonus was a 50% discount on the older child. Sezai is a guide with a capital letter! It is obvious that a person loves his work and lives it! Thank you for your professionalism and full dedication to your favorite business!
Silvia Matveeva May 2019 • Family holidays We came to Cappadocia for the first time and wanted to get the most out of it. Sezai just gave us a fairy tale! He is not only a wonderful guide, but also a great person! Thanks to him, we felt like we were visiting a friend. The organization of all tours, balloon flight, paragliding, horseback riding was at the highest level! We are delighted with Cappadocia, but now we realize that we will miss not only this unique place, but also this wonderful man!
Cappadocia May 2019 We just walked by and walked in. As a result, we received a lot of impressions from excursions. Everything was organized clearly and professionally. I especially liked the individual tour (the group did not gather). We were taken to places where tour groups do not reach. Far away in the mountains we saw temples that were much better preserved than the temples in the valley. We saw abandoned villages. We roamed the mountains and enjoyed peace and quiet. We also took an individual safari tour. It was really great!
Exceptional hospitality! Oct. 2018 We were in Cappadocia last year. Before the trip, we found Sezai’s website by searching on the Internet and wrote to him. He responded immediately, organized a meeting at the airport, round trip transfer, two tours of Cappadocia in a group with a wonderful guide. We visited all the most beautiful places, caves, dungeons, natural monuments. Cappadocia is a unique and amazing part of Turkey, unlike anything else. When Sezai found out that we would have a birthday while in Cappadocia, he gave us a cake! Unfortunately, the weather was bad for all three days, and the balloons did not rise into the air. I didn’t manage to fly, but I really wanted to! We will definitely return to Cappadocia again, this time only in summer weather, and we will definitely turn to Sezai!
An excellent guide and the best guide to this amazing place! March 2020 • For two I would like to express my gratitude to dear Sezai for organizing our holiday in Cappadocia! Everything went just great and in literally 24 hours we managed to embrace the immensity! A sea of impressions and a lot of memories will remain with us for many years! Thank you very much again!
Red private tour Feb. 2021 • For two Enjoyed the beautiful Cappadocia in the company of guide Sezai. We visited the Goreme open-air museum, all the chapels, the Valley of Love and Imagination, and looked at the pottery factory in Avanos. Everything was clearly organized, we were picked up from the hotel on time, we were on time everywhere, there was free time, lunch and entrance tickets are included in the price of the Excursion. Sezai is a pleasant, intelligent person, speaks excellent Russian, and presents the material in an informative, understandable and interesting way! Answered all questions and gave recommendations for the next days. I recommend this agency.
Interesting, rich, bright, colorful, romantic Feb. 2021 • For two My wife and I came to Cappadocia for just one day (2 nights). There is very little time, but there are a lot of interesting things around. This is a rock-fortress, and an underground city, and ancient Christian churches, and much, much more. How to be on time everywhere?! It’s good that before our trip to Cappadocia we contacted Sezai, our guide, who, through his agency, organized the entire program in the best possible way: meeting at Kayseri airport, transfer to Germe, accommodation in an authentic hotel stylized as a cave city, optimal excursion route to the most interesting places , interesting and educational excursion in good Russian, return transfer to Kayseri airport. It was very interesting and informative. We really regretted that, due to an early flight to Istanbul, we were not able to take part in a very spectacular and beautiful event: a mass balloon flight. We thank Sezai for organizing this trip, for a beautiful excursion that he conducted with sincere love for his country, with hospitality and respect for tourists visiting Cappadocia. We hope that we will return to Cappadocia and take a romantic and unforgettable flight over it in a hot air balloon!
Emotions are running high! Apr. 2021 • With friends I really liked Cappadocia!!! Incredible landscapes, friendly hosts, delicious traditional cuisine!!!
