We were in a week when the weather is very capricious: outside the window everything is gray, rain and even hail. The hotel room wasn't what we expected. But! The right guide will be able to organize such a holiday that it will become unforgettable in the best sense. Sezai is such a guide, he did everything to make us love Cappadocia and have a good time. A nice bonus is the prices for excursions, we compared with other agencies and prices in the hotel. Thanks for everything!
We travel a lot with my husband. Exceptional rest, a unique trip turned out in Cappadocia. Russian-speaking guide Sezai was not only a great specialist in his field, but also an amazing person. He is dedicated to his work and knows a lot about Cappadocia and Turkey. Thank you very much for a great job, very pleased

Fabulous landscapes! Aug. 2019 We went to Cappadocia from Kemer. The tour is called Cappadocia Tour. With plans to ride a balloon. I'll start in order. The road from Kemer to Nevsehir (overnight in a 4 star hotel) was 10 hours. Let me explain why: the route to Cappadocia begins in the area of Side - Manavgat (500 km - 6 hours). Therefore, another 3 hours takes only the road to Side - Manavgata - the meeting place of all participants of the excursion. But this does not darken the impression of what you see. Throughout the road, they stopped at panoramas, beautiful views: Uchhisar Fortress, Goreme open-air museum, underground cities, all sorts of valleys (doves, love, panorama of other cities, hotel in stones). Indeed, bizarre mountains, unreal views, all mountains are dotted with holes and dwellings of residents. The guide tells the story of the formation of all this. That's how the first day goes. We arrive at the hotel tonight. We lived in 4 stars, Tashsarai Hotel. Nice hotel, cool meals, nice rooms. New plumbing, slippers, towels. It's as it should be. The next morning, they planned a balloon flight. But alas, the cancellation due to the wind (over 13 m / s.) before our arrival for 4 days did not fly for the same reason. So you can come this far and not ride a balloon. Not even on the observation deck, so there is nothing to see. So, before breakfast, we wandered around the city, met the dawn on the main square, talked with local dogs. After breakfast again on the road back. new views, valleys, panoramas, crafts of locals, the city of Konya (to information: 2 million inhabitants). But, despite everything, the tour leaves an indelible impression of what you saw. The mere fact that you are in the center of Turkey (we have located our location via satellite on the map) makes such travel special. memorable. Yes, I forgot to say: the road runs through the mountains, the beginning of the way is chic serpentine, picturesque mountain views.
Cappadocia is power! St. 2019 Sent grandma and granddaughter. Sezai, of course, well done. I met him, helped with all the questions (they flew and left by bus to the coast on their own, so there were some disturbances). What a special bow for him! Excursions are a red and green tour. I especially liked the red one where Sezai was a guide. I will definitely recommend it to friends and acquaintances.

We had the best experience during the green tour with Jalal: he was kind, thoughtful, fun and told many interesting stories, including praying and meditating together, learning about local customs and even dancing a little! Do we recommend this tour to everyone? Ours was Russian-speaking.
