All Goreme Tours & Excursions in 2026

This was the perfect tour that me and my friend was looking for given the limited time we had in Cappadocia. Our guide Byrim (Mr.festival) was organized and knowledgeable. We were picked up early in the morning from our hotel and brought to each site. Water was provided during the tour, and Byrim made sure we were well hydrated. He gave us history and descriptions at each site we visited and allowed us free time at scenic viewing destinations. He was also very considerate of the tourists in his care given the large age gaps in our tour group. He made sure the more elderly were able to keep up (especially in the underground tunnel and the more strenuous hiking part of this tour) and even accommodated everyone’s desired drop off locations (whether that was their hotel or elsewhere). Lunch is included in this tour and you actually get a pretty good selection of choices (we got to choose between chicken, Turkish meatballs, fish, and a vegetarian option). Ultimately I had a great time and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to just relax and be shown the best of what the Cappadocia scenery has to offer!

Great fun, and thoroughly enjoyed it once we got started. The vehicles are rough and ready, ours was leaking oil and needed to be jump started every time we stopped, but we found this amusing. This isn't a polished tour. It's fun and dirty and dusty which we loved, knowing what we know we'd totally do it again!

The hot air balloon flight was unique! I was picked up on time as agreed. After a one-hour drive, we arrived in Soganli. The breakfast was sufficient. The hot air balloon flight with Halil Dönmez was very nice! A smooth, gentle ascent right at sunrise. Halil gave us information about the area we were flying over, explained a bit about the balloon's technology, and was humorous. The precision landing on the truck was also very successful. Afterwards, there was champagne and strawberries, a small medal, and you get the link to the photos and videos for a small price via WhatsApp. I recommend it!
