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!

5 CommentsTake the green tour. The organization is great. We had a fun and informative time. The group isn't big. A comfortable minibus. You guys are good guides!
We came to the Ergies volcano to ski and one of the days of our five-day rides decided to give an excursion to Kayseri. Searching for a guide on the Internet, we came across great reviews about the guide Sezai Dogruere, who organizes tours around Cappadocia. Having contacted and consulted with him, we realized that the best solution for us would be the Red Tour, and someday we will come to Kayseri ourselves. On the appointed day, we came straight to the hotel and the journey began! In addition to the fact that we traveled the entire red route, we managed to visit the underground city from the green, there were many observation decks, a delicious lunch, a touch of pottery, as well as, at our request, tasting and, of course, buying local wine, and, on the way back to the hotel, basturma, which is famous for Kayseri, plus a tour of the old, already night part of the city in Kayseri, which was a pleasant bonus from the company. Thank you so much!! We recommend it to everyone!!!
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!
Fantastic Cappadocia Apr. 2019 • For Two The landscapes of Cappadocia seem alien, rock dwellings, churches, underground cities amaze the imagination. In addition, we were very lucky with the guide: we were accompanied by Elena, who turned out to be not only a wonderful storyteller, an erudite guide, but also a charming soulful person who lifted our spirits during the tour.
